Silver plating

Silver plating is a method of coating a base metal, often brass or copper, with a thin layer of silver. This process enhances the item's appearance, making it look attractive and shiny, while also providing some resistance to corrosion. Commonly used in cutlery, jewelry, and decorative items, silver plating is more affordable than solid silver but offers a similar look. Over time, the silver layer can wear off, revealing the base metal underneath. Proper care, such as gentle cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals, can help maintain the beauty of silver-plated objects.
