Custom electroplating is a surface treatment process for metal jewelry. Electrochemically, a thin layer of metal coating (such as yellow gold, rose gold, or black gold) is added to a brass or stainless steel base to achieve a specific color, luster, and durability. This allows brands to fully control the visual style of their products, from classic luxury to modern fashion, while ensuring corrosion resistance, fade resistance, and wear resistance—perfectly meeting the environmental and aesthetic demands of the European and American markets. As part of our customization services, we integrate ODM/OEM processes, simplifying color standardization and production efficiency, ensuring a seamless transition from concept to mass production for your brand’s designs.
The 18K high-saturation warm-toned coating precisely matches the Pantone 18-1345 luxury color standard, while the 14K light gold version optimizes the red and copper ratio to achieve a fast, fashionable, lightweight, and neat wearing effect. Both standards have passed the 72H salt spray test.
The palladium-enhanced rose gold plating eliminates the cheap powdery feel, and the exclusive matte etching process combines delicate touch with fingerprint resistance. ΔE < 1.5 after 100 cleanings ensures the long-lasting beauty of wedding products.
The 18K palladium-rhodium alloy coating achieves a mirror-grade cool white light (reducing costs by 30%), and the 14K light platinum version presents a Korean blue-white luster. The entire series complies with the EU nickel release standard (<0.2μg/cm²/wk).
Medical-grade PVD black plating technology covers the 316L stainless steel base. The 0.5μm dense coating increases scratch resistance by 70%, and the salt spray test is 96 hours without any spots.

The controlled oxidation process simulates the natural aging effect of 3-5 years, and the oil sealing and curing technology locks in the staged patina texture. The mass production yield of American retro-style hang tags is 95%+.
Zinc-tin particles are added to the 14K base to create a soft, warm tone, suitable for the gradient pearlescent needs of heavy earrings. The anti-discoloration life is extended by 40% after ASTM D4060 testing.
Deviations in gold plating thickness will directly erode your profits – choosing 0.1-0.3μm (color retention for 3-6 months) is suitable for fast-moving fashion items, but the return rate in the European and American markets has climbed 37%; 1.5-2.0μm (color retention for 3-5 years) reduces warranty costs by 19% (data from partner brands), and is particularly suitable for long-term sales of classic items; we provide full parameter customization (0.1-5.0μm), combined with your brand positioning (such as DTC emerging brands use 0.5-1.0μm to balance cost-effectiveness, and high-end lines use 2.0μm+PVD process to pass ISTA sweat corrosion testing), free sample delivery to verify the actual color retention period, and avoid the risk of declining gross profit margins due to excessive gold plating or negative reviews caused by insufficient thickness.
We offer flexible production solutions. The minimum order quantity for conventional products is 300 pieces. We also support small batch trial orders (minimum order quantity 200 pieces) to verify the process, ensuring zero risk for new customers.
The standard production cycle is 25-35 days. Expedited service is provided during the proofing stage (completed within 7 working days). During the peak period of mass production, an intelligent order scheduling system is used to ensure delivery time.
Implement SH-P multiple quality control system: 1. First piece full size inspection 2. 100% full inspection, equipped with spectrophotometer, hardness tester and other professional equipment to quantify quality control standards.
The entire production process is signed with an NDA confidentiality agreement, and an independent production line is used for closed operation. Once the order is completed, the design files can be delivered to the customer to ensure the security of intellectual property rights.
We provide international test reports in accordance with SGS, LFGB, and other standards to meet REACH and CPSC regulations. We can also provide customized testing for special requirements such as California Proposition 65.
We focus on providing customers with high-quality customized jewelry solutions. Our products cover a variety of materials such as brass and stainless steel to meet the needs of different brands and market positioning. Whether you pursue classic elegance or modern fashion, we can provide a customized solution that perfectly meets your expectations.
We provide a full range of customized jewelry solutions for substrates, including high-quality brass, 304/316L medical stainless steel and other materials, and support the customized development of special alloys. The SH-YF metal pretreatment process can effectively improve the ductility and oxidation resistance of materials. All raw materials are tested for spectroscopy and ductility to ensure compliance with ASTM international standards.
Equipped with CNC engraving center and 3D printing equipment imported from Germany, with an accuracy of up to 0.02 mm , it supports complex processes such as three-dimensional relief and hollow engraving, and provides structural engineering optimization to eliminate production risks. The SH-JM digital modeling system can support rapid proofing of design drafts within 24 hours.
We have established a global supply and procurement network, and can provide customized solutions for more than 2,000 gemstones, including various gemstones and cubic zirconia. We have introduced precision inlay equipment to achieve a micro-inlay accuracy of 0.3mm. Each product has been optically screened to ensure that the color difference of the gemstone is less than 0.5 levels. The SH-XQ firmness test can achieve 300 tensile tests.
Our own electroplating factory is equipped with a variety of electroplating solutions such as vacuum plating and water plating. The nano-level plating is controllable. The SH-DD electroplating standard can increase the electroplating bonding strength by more than 30%. We also provide special process options such as laser plating and gradient plating . We are equipped with a coating thickness gauge for testing.
SH Mould Center can quickly develop specific clasps, chains and other jewelry accessories, with a stock of up to 9,000+ that can be called upon at any time. Customized special accessories can be produced and delivered within 7-14 days. And all auxiliary materials have passed the EU nickel release test
For e-commerce customers, making minor adjustments to the original design, such as adding your logo or brand logo, etc. We recommend this solution for customization of name necklace fonts, projection necklace films, etc.
