Advanced Thickening Electroplating
Advanced Thickening Electroplating
100% Restoration of International Award-Winning Designs
At LOTTEDS, we bridge the gap between high-jewelry artistry and everyday accessibility. While world-class boutiques charge a "precious metal tax," we utilize 316A Medical-Grade Titanium Steel paired with our proprietary POV Thickened Gold Plating to deliver the same opulent $50,000+ aesthetic at a price you can truly embrace.
Electroplating is a sophisticated method of applying a durable metal coating to an object. In the world of LOTTEDS, we place our medical-grade jewelry into a specialized solution containing 18k or 24k gold, passing a precise electric current through the workpiece. This molecular bond creates a finish that is indistinguishable from solid gold.

The POV Advantage: Why Our Plating is Different
We utilize an Advanced POV (Physical Organic Vapor) Thickening Process. Unlike standard fashion jewelry that uses a thin "wash" of gold, our process creates a deep, 0.5μm - 2.0μm layer that offers exceptional whiteness, brilliance, and discoloration resistance.
We use standard 18k gold electroplating to give our jewelry a richer, deeper "Old Money" gold tone that perfectly matches high-jewelry silhouettes.
Our POV process ensures a more uniform color across the entire piece, hiding component changes and welding wires for a seamless, solid-gold look.
By co-depositing gold with specialized metals, we produce a variety of desired colors—from classic Yellow Gold to romantic Rose Gold and icy White Gold.

Health, Safety & Medical Integrity
We understand that luxury is nothing without comfort. Our thickening process is meticulously controlled for ingredient purity. At LOTTEDS, we guarantee:
- Hypoallergenic Performance: Because our base is 316A Medical-Grade Titanium Steel (the same material used in surgical implants), and our gold is high-purity, it will not cause skin allergies.
- Zero Discoloration: Our advanced whiteness-resistance ensures your skin never turns green—a common issue with cheap brass-based jewelry.
- Nickel-Free & Safe: We adhere to the strictest North American and European safety standards, ensuring 100% skin safety for sensitive wearers.
