Palladium plating
Palladium plating involves coating a piece of metal or jewelry with a thin layer of palladium, a rare and durable metal from the platinum group. This process enhances appearance, corrosion resistance, and hardness, providing a bright, white finish. It’s often used on white gold or jewelry to achieve a desirable look and improve durability. The plating is applied through a process called electroplating, where an electric current deposits palladium onto the item's surface. Palladium plating is valued for its strength, hypoallergenic properties, and ability to maintain a polished appearance over time.
