    Default Rose gold on sterling silver?

    Hi all, I'm having a dilemma.

    I have been asked to make some statement earrings for a customer using pearls and rose gold plated silver and I happily said yes thinking it was no problem..

    Problem is I need some chain for the design and cookies only do base metal plated not sterling silver

    I have tried 4 plating services but either they don't do it or the minimum order is in the region of £100....

    I'm kind of at the point where I will have to make do with buying a complete chain retail..

    Does anyone have any alternatives? The chain needs to be really fine.

    Serve me right for opening my gob and saying "yes" lol

    Do a search for rose gold on jewellerymaker.com some of their chains are gold on silver.

    Hi David I have lol. Unfortunately most of the chains that have been in stock are too fancy or too big 😮

    How about the Curious Gem http://www.thecuriousgem.co.uk/rose-...-findings.html. I use them for my RGF wire; its durable and good quality.
