Transitioning to gold jewelry? Give new life to your silver jewelry with gold plating!

Gilding of jewelry and objects at Arven

Do you have silver jewelry that you wish was gold-colored? Or maybe a piece of jewelry where the gold plating has worn away over time? Don't despair, and don't get rid of it! At Arven, we offer professional gold plating in our workshop in Bergen, so you can give new expression to jewelry and objects you already have.

Gilding gives new life

Gold plating is the process of applying a thin layer of real gold to the surface of another metal – often silver. The result is a piece of jewelry with the color and shine of gold, without having to buy new. It’s a smart, sustainable, affordable and stylish upgrade, whether you want to renew something old or match it to the rest of your jewelry collection.

We can gild this

We have our own gilding department, and can gild, among other things:

  • Silver jewelry (rings, pendants, chains, earrings)

  • Objects with silver or other metal surfaces

  • Jewelry where existing gold plating has worn away

If you are unsure whether something can be gold-plated, please visit our store in Bergen, or contact us for an assessment.

When is gilding appropriate?

  • When you want to upgrade silver jewelry to gold

  • When your gold-plated jewelry starts to fade or the metal underneath shines through

  • When you want to freshen up old heirloom jewelry

  • When you want to create unity in your jewelry collection

  • When you want to keep what you have, but give it a new expression

A personal, economical and sustainable choice

Gold plating is not just an aesthetic upgrade – it is also an environmentally friendly choice and often cheaper than buying new. By giving new life to what you already own, you reduce the need for new raw materials while preserving the emotional value the jewelry carries.

Give your jewelry a new start in gold. Visit us in Bergen or contact us today – we will help you gold-plate what matters. You can also read more here.
