THE LUXURY OF ROSE GOLD PLATING 

Rose gold has a timeless allure that combines the warmth of traditional gold with a delicate blush of pink. It exudes elegance and sophistication, making it a popular choice for jewelry. At Continental Bead Suppliers Inc., we've perfected the art of rose gold plating to offer you the perfect blend of luxury and affordability.

THE THICKNESS THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

One of the key differentiators between our gold and rose gold plating lies in the thickness. While our gold-plated jewelry boasts a 1 mil thickness of 18K gold, our exquisite rose gold plating takes it a step further with an impressive 3 mils (76.2 microns) of 18K rose gold. This increased thickness is what gives rose gold its distinctive color and makes it cost slightly more than our regular gold-plated pieces.

THE ART BEHIND OUR PLATING

Just like our gold plating, crafting the perfect rose gold piece involves a meticulous process. We start by bonding a thin copper layer to the base metal, typically brass, before immersing it in the rich 18K rose gold. Electricity is then used to ensure a secure bond, and a final touch of e-coating enhances the jewelry's durability, maintaining its beauty over time.

CONSISTENT QUALITY ACROSS FINISHES

Our commitment to quality extends to all our finishes, including the captivating rose gold. Each finish involves a combination of metals and a similar plating process to achieve the appearance of a solid precious metal product. For those who adore the matte finish, an extra step in the plating process involves adding a matte acrylic layer to reduce shine, followed by the essential e-coating to ensure longevity.

CARING FOR YOUR ROSE GOLD JEWELRY

Rose gold-plated jewelry, like all plated pieces, requires a bit of care to keep it looking its best. Here are some simple tips:

  • Avoid exposure to water, chemicals, and abrasives. Remove your jewelry before activities that could lead to exposure, such as swimming, showering, or intense physical activities.

  • Gentle cleaning: Use a soft cloth to clean your rose gold-plated jewelry and remove dirt and oils. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials, as they can harm the plating.

  • Proper storage: Store your rose gold pieces separately in a cool, dry place, using individual pouches or compartments to prevent scratches and tangling.

  • Rotate your collection: Give your rose gold jewelry an occasional break by rotating your collection to minimize wear and tear.

  • Replating as needed: If your jewelry starts to show signs of wear, consider replating to maintain its stunning appearance. Consult with a professional jeweler for guidance.
