I LOVE this stuff
I LOVE this stuff!!!!!! I have owned at least a dozen different plating systems and this one really impressed me for ease of use and quality of plating. I've only used it on small objects with high quality sterling plate already on them, but the results are excellent. It will be a real time and money saver in my business. I've already ordered a refill.

DON'T RUIN YOUR JEWELRY
I recently purchased this product with hopeful intentions. But you know what they say, "there's a sucker born every minute". I read the instructions on the bottle and even watched the video. I attempted to plate two items, a silver ring and a watch band. I used their cleaner first as instructed. The ring came out horrible - a dark dull brassy color which did not shine up with the included polish. Under a loupe inspection, it is obvious that the plating is very weak (although I dipped it twice). The piece now looks like fake Indian costume jewelry with a greenish tint next to my other 14K and 18K jewelry. The watch band? What a waste of time!!!! First of all, anything bigger than a small ring will not fit in the "basket" and so I attempted to do one half of the band. It picked up the plating in places, didn't pick it up at all in others, ruined the plating that was already on it! (The band was previously electroplated in 24kt. gold) It is ruined. My only hope is to take it to a professional and have them properly electroplate it. DON'T RUIN YOUR JEWELRY!!! This product works less than marginally with a poor finished result.

Amazing. One of these is the original. Two I plated myself. Can you tell which one?
This works! Who knew it could be so easy? Just followed the steps.For Christmas my boyfriend gave me gold earrings made by an artist that lives on the other side of the world. I lost one the week after Christmas. I'm responsible and never misplace things so this was embarrassing. And heartbreaking because I was in love with those earrings. He bought them the day after we started dating, and hid them until Christmas so they were very meaningful to me.I emailed the artist, but her shop is closed because she's traveling. I had to take matters into my own hands. Her pieces are very limited. All I could find online were the silver version. I used this kit to gold plate them. I now have three earrings, and can afford to misplace another one. My prayers have been answered!As much as I love this kit I could not give it five stars, because it did not contain what it shows in the picture and states in the description. You get one plastic container. The jewelry cleaner contains a little less than the description, and there is no container for it as it is shown in the description. I had to use a bigger container for the gold solution to plate my stuff, so I just used the one container I received for the solution. It was a little disappointing that it didn't contain what is shown in description. I wouldn't even take a whole star off for that, but I couldn't give it 5 for that reason. If the picture and description were accurate it would recieve 5 stars.This kit works great!

Plating did not work for me but cleaner is very good.
didn't work for me. i read all the caveats that the plating must be applied to the correct metal to work. I really thought it would work for two long chains whose gold plate had worn down. I very much wanted to refurbish these chains so it was worth risking the cost of the product but the plating did not work out. the chains ended up with a dark undertone that made them look worse than before. I think, at best, you are taking a gamble on a plating product. The jewelry cleaner that comes with it, on the other hand, works beautifully on my real gold jewelry.

I Achieved Excellent Results
This product works as advertised and exceeded my expectations. The results will depend on the type of metal the gold plating is applied to. I started by polishing the base metal with a Dremel pad to remove the previous gold plating. Not removing the previous gold plating resulted in an uneven gold finish so I had to remove the plating and make a second attempt with the gold plating. Having a nice even polished base metal to apply the plating to enhances the final result a great deal. I also washed the part in a sonic cleaner before the plating process. The part I was plating was either a white brass or a silver alloy so I got lucky and did not need to pre plate with copper or silver plating. I used an infrared digital thermometer to ensure the solution remained at 150 degrees. It cools rapidly so I had to reheat it several times while plating. The results will depend mostly on careful preparation of the item to be plated and the type of metal to be plated. The gold polish applied with a cotton cloth did even out the surface of the plating and shined the gold plating. This product worked for me.

Turned dark. Watch out on your items. I am a pro jeweller
As much as I would want to recommend this product I cant after trying it myself. I am professional jewellery maker and thought I will give a go to Medallion Gold plating so I know what there is here in market and maybe it is great product so I save on my cost not compromising the quality. !!!Please dont ruin any jewellry that is dear to you or experiencive!!! start your trial with something small so that you can see what the result might be. Items turn dark and has that green oxidised look rather then yellow gold. I only goldplate silver. Maybe I got bad quality gold liquid but just to warn you before you put anything dear to you and you not pro so that you dont have anything to fix it.On the other hand I must say that jewellery cleaner is very nice! Does work and cleans items very well. So that one I highly recommend!
