Q. Advantages & Disadvantages of White-Plate
- Silver has
characteristic of being tarnished. However, when it is white-plated, it
prevents severe discoloration and becomes more resistant to scratches than
non-plated ones.
- They lose the pure creamy hue
of silver.
- A sudden discoloration (being tarnished within 1-7 days affected by
perspiration) cannot be prevented through white-plating.
We let you know that white-plate doesn’t last forever. The duration differs based on the thickness and method of
white-plate and your habits. Hence, if kids suck or chew the jewelry frequently, the
plating can be worn away more rapidly.
- Be careful about scratches.
- Washing out the
perspiration with soap when taking a shower and drying would make the plating
last longer.
- If the parts where plating is taken off get tarnished,
please make sure to remove the tarnish as tarnished silver can cause allergic
reactions to sensitive skin.
