I have some little huggy diamond earrings with a small ruby in center of each. They are white gold. I would wear them more if they were yellow. I searched the threads but couldnt find any discussion that wasn’t at least several years old. I’m hoping that there is improved technology for doing this. Has anyone had the dipping process done recently? Are you happy with the results and how the plating is holding up? Was it pricey?
My ruby/ diamond eternity band is platinum dipped in yellow gold. So far it’s holding up well.I have no idea what it cost to do the dipping,s ince I bought it already done by the jeweler who made it.
 
Yes, I believe it can be done and it should be successful on earrings.

I recently had a brooch yellow gold plated by David Klass. It had rhodium plating on the top over yellow gold which looked strange. IMG_0068.jpeg


It will potentially wear off with repeated wear over time but can be replated. I am sorry I don’t remember the specific cost for the plating.

That was pretty, but so much prettier in YG. Thanks for sharing your experience!
