Precision Engineering for Every Jewelry Piece
Replate Your Jewelry to Pristine Condition
Replating fine jewelry is much like applying a flawless automotive clear coat—if the base isn’t perfectly smooth, the finish will fail. Before any jewelry enters our electro-chemical bath, our Master Jewelers meticulously strip the old plating and polish the base metal to a mirror finish. This ensures the new layer of rhodium or gold binds perfectly at the molecular level, creating a brilliant, factory-new surface.
White Gold & Rhodium Redipping
Many jewelry owners are surprised when their beautiful white gold engagement ring slowly turns a dull, yellowish-gray. Because pure “white gold” does not naturally exist, it is created by mixing yellow gold with white alloys and coating it in a brilliant, pure white metal called rhodium.
Over time, daily wear rubs this microscopic rhodium layer away. Our Master Jewelers perform professional “redipping” (white gold rhodium electroplating) to bind a fresh, pure layer of liquid rhodium to your ring, instantly restoring its bright, mirror-white brilliance.
Yellow Gold, Rose Gold & Vermeil Replating
Plating isn’t just for white gold. Vintage heirlooms, fashion jewelry, and vermeil items (gold plated over sterling silver) suffer from severe color fading as the outer layer of gold wears off, exposing the dark or brassy metal beneath.
Our facility is equipped with dedicated electro-chemical baths specifically calibrated for rich yellow gold replating and warm rose gold replating. We can safely strip the remaining faded layers and electroplate a fresh, thick micron layer of gold over your pieces, bringing the vibrant color of your favorite jewelry back to life.
The Bold Finish of Black Rhodium
For those looking for a modern, edgy aesthetic, we offer specialized black rhodium plating. Black rhodium provides a striking, dark gunmetal finish that makes diamonds pop and adds incredible contrast to fine jewelry. It is highly popular for men’s wedding bands, vintage-gothic restorations, and enhancing the depth of black diamonds.
Whether you want to restore an existing black rhodium ring that has faded, or completely transform a standard white gold ring into a dark, custom masterpiece, our Master Jewelers execute the process with flawless chemical precision.
Why We Must Polish Before We Plate
A common misconception is that electroplating will fill in deep scratches or dents. In reality, replating adds a layer so microscopically thin that it perfectly contours to the exact surface of the metal. Plating over a scratch simply creates a very shiny scratch.
This is why every professional replating service at our facility includes a mandatory deep clean and polish. Our bench artisans meticulously polish away the physical surface scratches before the piece ever enters the rhodium or gold bath, ensuring the final result is a flawless, factory-new finish.
Navigating Jewelry Finishes
Because a chemical electroplating bath treats the surface of the metal differently than structural repair, it is critical to select the exact technical service your jewelry requires.
To ensure your piece receives the exact bench service needed, review our routing list below:

Master Craftsmen: The 5-Step Replating Protocol
Electroplating jewelry within our laboratory follows a strict 5-step technical protocol to guarantee a flawless, mirror-like finish. First, upon arrival at our intake facility, your jewelry is logged into a secure tracking system with high-resolution diagnostic photography. In our specialized setting lab, Master Jewelers inspect the metal condition and verify that your gemstones are chemically safe to be submerged in the plating bath.
Once approved, certified bench artisans use specialized compounds to strip away any remnants of the old plating. The piece is then meticulously hand-polished to remove physical scratches and ultrasonically cleaned to ensure zero debris remains. Next, the jewelry is submerged in a dedicated electro-chemical bath—whether white rhodium, black rhodium, yellow gold, or rose gold—where calculated electric currents permanently bond the new liquid metal to the surface. Finally, the newly plated piece undergoes rigorous visual inspection under microscopes before being safely returned via trackable domestic shipping.

Have Metal Replating & Jewelry Finish Questions?
The lifespan of any plating depends entirely on friction and your body chemistry. For rings worn every day, white gold rhodium typically lasts 6 to 12 months before the bottom of the band shows wear. For earrings or necklaces that experience less friction, yellow and rose gold replating can last for years.
Professional replating costs vary depending on the type of metal required (white rhodium, yellow gold, rose gold, or black rhodium) and the surface area of the piece. Every quote includes the mandatory deep clean and polish required to achieve a flawless finish. Once our Master Jewelers evaluate your item, we provide a transparent digital quote for your approval.
Yes. Diamonds, sapphires, and rubies are highly durable and completely safe during the electroplating process. However, porous or organic stones—such as pearls, opals, emeralds, and turquoise—can be destroyed by the chemical bath. Our Master Jewelers will carefully evaluate your piece and protect or remove sensitive stones before plating.
Yes! Electroplating allows us to change the color of your metal. We can apply yellow gold replating over a silver ring, or black rhodium over white gold. However, keep in mind that as the new plating wears down over time, the original metal color underneath will begin to show through, requiring more frequent maintenance.
Black rhodium is a specialized liquid precious metal bath that applies a dark, gunmetal-black finish to your jewelry. It is highly durable and is commonly used to create striking contrast on men’s wedding bands, vintage-style jewelry, and pieces featuring dark or black gemstones.
Yes. Every domestic shipment through our platform includes trackable carrier shipping with customizable insurance options to protect your valuable jewelry from the moment it leaves your hands until safely returned to your door.
