Hi Rob,
Would the Pen Plating Unit Junior 120 be suitable for adding yellow gold accents to white gold pieces? How robust would the plating be?
Thanks :)

Hi Lucie

Adding accents to pieces is exactly what this unit was designed for; yellow on white, white on yellow etc. At a 0.1 micron thickness you will experience some wear if frequently handled (like rhodium on white gold pieces need replating periodically). But this does depend on what the piece is of course. I understand 0.1 micron is an 'average' thickness for jewellery plating. It is worth noting that the thickness can be built up with repeated applications
