Learn about the gold plating process in Limeira

This process, also known as electroplating, consists of plating costume jewelry pieces: all items are immersed in different solutions that build up protective layers, each with its own function. Here is how the process works at FC Joias:

  • Degreaser: This first step is essential so the jewelry is completely clean when plating begins;
  • Alkaline copper: Deposits a thin layer of copper that improves adhesion and leaves the surface uniform.
  • Acid copper: At this stage, the copper levels the surface of the piece.
  • Palladium: Besides providing corrosion resistance, palladium keeps the pieces from causing allergic reactions in consumers.
  • Pre-gold: The gold plays a key role in protecting each piece.
  • Plating: This is one of the most important steps in the gold plating process in Limeira, since it provides high shine and resistance to future damage. The method deposits the layer thickness the customer wants.
  • Final color: At this step, the pieces receive a uniform tone that can vary according to the customer's preference. FC Joias offers a wide range of color shades.
  • Varnish: Applied to the pieces to protect against oxidation, it creates a clear protective layer.
  • Drying: Finally, the pieces go through a drying process.

Right after this gold plating process in Limeira, every piece is weighed and checked before being sent to the customer. The entire process is designed to guarantee the high quality standard that only FC Joias offers.
