Jewelry Knowledge: Plated Metals and How to Care for Them – Jstar Jewelry Designs

In jewelry, plating is mostly done for aesthetic reasons. Plating a low-cost substrate like brass or copper with gold or silver allows jewelry designers to offer customers the look of solid metal jewelry at a lower price.  Sometimes jewelry plating is done for protection of the substrate metal, such as when white gold is rhodium plated to increase scratch and tarnish resistance.
