Choosing the right metal plating for your jewelry

Black metal jewelry is a famous and in-demand accessory for many people. We create some of the most intricate and exciting black metal jewelry you can find on the market today. Metal plating is an effective way of ensuring protection and look in making black jewelry. We offer you a wide range, so it can perfectly match your style.

-Black plating in jewelry

 

Black plating is the process of covering a base metal with a thin layer of black metal.

In a chemical process called electroforming, the coating adheres to the metal and covers it uniformly; this popular technique is commonly used in the fashion jewelry market to color different metal components such as stone settings, charms and connectors, findings, and more.

At Cup Chain, we offer a choice of 17 different metal platings, including matte/shiny blacks and antique silver.

Let's go over some of the differences between the metal colors:

 

- Shiny black plating in jewelry

 

The shiny black plating gets reflective tones and shines from the environment, which gives the jewelry a different hue in different lightings.

The neutrality of black will welcome a match of any crystal or bead color you choose.

 

- Matte black plating in jewelry

 

The matte black coating is an ultra-dark finish achieved by dipping the jewelry in a thick layer of black lacquer. This type of finish is popular because, unlike the shiny/glossy black plating, the matte maintains its blackness and highlighted tone even in different lighting.

 

-Antique silver plating on jewelry

 

Antique silver plating is a process that attaches a layer of silver to an object made of another metal. The process involves bathing the item in a precious metal solution, where the metal dissolves and adheres to the item's metal base surface.

Conclusion: wrapping up and final thoughts

Black metal jewelry is a trend that has been going on for years, and it's not going anywhere soon. This type of jewelry's dark, edgy look is ideal for those who want to dress up their look with a little bit of allure. To conclude, you first need to identify what type of jewelry you want to make. For making black jewelry, consider using black metal like copper or brass as jewelry bases. You can also use crystals for embedding in your designs. We encourage you to try out some DIY jewelry for beginners by making black jewelry on your own with your favorite plating.
