At Gold Art India, we specialize in beautifully crafted gold and silver-plated idols and figurines. But have you ever wondered how the plating process works and why it gives our products such a premium appeal? Let’s break it down in a simple way.
What is Gold & Silver Plating?
Gold and silver plating is a process where a thin layer of these precious metals is coated onto the surface of a product. This technique enhances the appearance, making the idol or figurine look rich, polished, and elegant. Instead of using solid gold or silver, which would be extremely expensive, plating allows us to achieve the same luxurious feel at an affordable price.
How is Electroplating Done on Idols?
Since our idols are made from poly-resin, which is a non-conductive material, we first treat the surface with a special process to make it conductive. Once ready, the product undergoes electroplating, where real gold or silver particles are deposited onto the surface in microns (a very thin layer). This process gives our idols their stunning metallic finish while keeping them lightweight and affordable.
Why Choose Gold & Silver-Plated Idols?
-
Affordable Luxury – Owning solid gold or silver idols in large sizes is impractical due to the high cost. Plating allows you to enjoy the beauty of these metals without spending a fortune.
-
Elegant & Premium Look – The shine and finish of gold and silver bring a divine, aesthetic appeal to idols, making them perfect for home decor, puja rooms, and gifting.
-
Durability & Protection – After plating, we apply a lacquer coating to enhance longevity. This coating helps protect the idol from tarnishing, though we always recommend avoiding liquids and harsh chemicals to maintain its shine.
Care Tips for Gold & Silver-Plated Idols
-
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to keep the shine intact.
-
Avoid contact with water, perfumes, or cleaning chemicals.
-
Store in a dry place to maintain its longevity.
At Gold Art India, every idol is crafted with precision and devotion. Our gold and silver-plated figurines not only look divine but also hold spiritual and artistic value. Whether it’s for your home, a special occasion, or a thoughtful gift, our electroplated idols are the perfect choice.
