Gold Plating Services

Luxury gold plating combines professional precious-metal finishing with specialist preparation, craftsmanship and detailed quality control for premium products and bespoke objects. Goldgenie applies luxury gold finishes to suitable technology, watches, gifts, decorative pieces and specialist commissions, with every project individually assessed before work begins.

The item is first assessed and prepared according to its base material and condition. Preparation may include cleaning, polishing, stripping an existing finish, masking and applying suitable undercoats. The gold layer is then applied through a controlled electroplating process before the finished item is inspected and, where necessary, reassembled.

Yes. Goldgenie offers genuine 24K gold plating alongside rose gold, platinum and other precious-metal finishing options where appropriate. The recommended finish and plating specification depend on the item, base material, intended use and required appearance.

Goldgenie can gold plate a wide range of suitable items, including iPhones and Apple products, watches, jewellery, corporate gifts, awards, trophies, microphones, electronics, religious artefacts, decorative objects, interior components and bespoke luxury projects. Every item is assessed before work begins.

Gold plating can be applied to many materials when the correct preparation process is used. Goldgenie works with materials including stainless steel, brass, copper, silver, aluminium and titanium, as well as suitable chrome-plated parts. Some other materials and components require specialist assessment.

Yes. Goldgenie can professionally gold plate suitable aluminium components using specialist preparation processes designed for aluminium substrates. Each item is assessed because its construction, existing finish and intended use influence the preparation and plating specification required.

Yes. Goldgenie can professionally gold plate suitable titanium components. Titanium requires specialist surface preparation before precious-metal plating, so every item is individually assessed before the appropriate preparation and plating specification are selected.

Yes. Suitable chrome-plated parts can be professionally gold plated. The existing coating and condition of the component are first assessed because preparation may involve treatment or removal of existing surface layers before the new precious-metal finish is applied.

Yes. Goldgenie specialises in luxury technology customisation and can apply precious-metal finishes to suitable iPhones and Apple products. Depending on the device and project, customisation can include 24K gold, rose gold or platinum finishes together with additional personalisation options. Every device is assessed according to its construction and required finish.

Yes, many suitable watches and jewellery items can be restored and re-plated. Goldgenie first assesses the item’s base material, existing coating, condition, wear and construction before recommending the appropriate preparation and precious-metal finishing process.

Gold plating thickness is measured in microns. Goldgenie’s heavy-duty gold plating typically starts at 2 microns for applicable projects. The final specification depends on the base material, intended use, expected wear and individual project requirements. Correct preparation and suitable undercoats are also critical to the quality and durability of the finished surface.

Durability depends on the base material, surface preparation, plating thickness, intended use, frequency of handling and ongoing care. Decorative pieces may experience very little wear, while frequently handled surfaces naturally experience more contact. Professionally prepared and appropriately specified gold plating can maintain its appearance for many years depending on use.

A gold-plated item uses genuine gold applied over a suitable base material, whereas a solid-gold item is manufactured from gold throughout. Gold plating makes it possible to create a genuine precious-metal surface on products for which manufacturing the entire object from solid gold would be impractical, excessively heavy or considerably more expensive.

Gold electroplating and Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) are different finishing technologies. Gold plating deposits a precious-metal layer through an electrochemical process, while PVD deposits coating material in a vacuum environment. Their preparation methods, coating characteristics, applications and appearance can therefore differ.

In many cases, yes. Existing finishes can often be assessed, prepared and refinished before new precious-metal plating is applied. Feasibility depends on the item’s base material, condition, existing coating, damage and construction. Photographs can normally be reviewed before the item is physically inspected.

Handle gold-plated items carefully and avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, unnecessary scratching and impact. Use a clean, soft microfibre cloth for gentle cleaning and store the item carefully when it is not being used. Follow any specific care instructions supplied by Goldgenie for your project.

Gold-plating costs vary according to the item’s size, material, existing finish, preparation required, complexity, quantity, selected precious-metal finish and collection or delivery requirements. Goldgenie operates a minimum project charge of £250, with each project individually quoted following assessment.

Yes. Goldgenie serves private and commercial clients internationally through its Dubai headquarters and UK service centre. For customers outside the UK and UAE, complimentary insured DHL collection from the customer’s address and insured return delivery are included in the agreed quotation. UK and UAE logistics are arranged according to location and project requirements.
