Hi Caro

Would not recommend brush plating for durability, the coating weight is difficult to be precise and it is generally very thin and does’nt last.

Instead of silver you could use copper or brass and have the pieces ceramic coated, that is a lot cheaper than plating with gold etc and lasts far longer. You can have Pantone matched colours and over 100 standard colours to choose from.

Our company provides technical support on colouring jewellery and offer cutting and finishing with CNC and high powered laser for most metals for jewellery.
