GILDING

 

It’s a decorative, ornamental process, used for different materials using different techniques, aimed to embellish the product through a very thin gold coat.
In this galvanic process a metallic product is dipped into a bath of potassium aurocyanide crossed by electric currents. These currents pass from a gold electrode to the dipped product bringing gold particles on the object. As a result, we obtain a very thin, uniform and extremely resistant gold coat.
