How to Plating Silver Jewelry Different Colors?


Hi.

I am a jeweler , i can plate my silver jewelry to black and gold but some my customers request red,blue,green colored silver jewelry. Not enamel coating. Things must be look still shiny like metal surface. So I don’t know anyway to do it. Is there anyway for it. Perhaps color alloys if available etc. Thanks.

Hi,

If you can use aluminum instead of silver, then you can anodize the aluminum and infuses a pigmented dye into the anodized coating and attain virtually any color with a metallic look to it. If you have to stay with silver, then you’ll have to find and apply some glossy transparent organic coating (i.e., paint) with the color you require.
