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.

1. Richer, Authentic Gold Hues

We use standard 18k gold electroplating to give our jewelry a richer, deeper "Old Money" gold tone that perfectly matches high-jewelry silhouettes.

2. Flawless Uniformity

Our POV process ensures a more uniform color across the entire piece, hiding component changes and welding wires for a seamless, solid-gold look.

3. Palette of Luxury

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.

Global Client Concierge: FAQ

Q: Is "Thickened Plating" the same as "Gold Filled"? A: It is superior in terms of design restoration. Our POV Thickened Plating allows for the 100% restoration of intricate award-winning silhouettes that Gold-Filled cannot achieve, while providing a gold layer significantly thicker than standard "flash plating."
Q: Why is LOTTEDS so affordable if the design is award-winning? A: By using 316A Medical-Grade Titanium Steel as our foundation, we eliminate the immense cost of solid 18k gold blocks. We focus our investment on perfect design restoration and high-tech plating, making true luxury a daily reality for everyone.
Q: Can I wear this in the shower or during a workout? A: Yes. Thanks to our advanced discoloration resistance and the corrosion-proof nature of medical-grade steel, our jewelry is water-friendly. However, to maintain maximum mirror brilliance, we recommend a quick rinse with fresh water after contact with salt or chlorine.
Q: Do you ship to the USA, Canada, and Europe? A: Absolutely. We offer secure, tracked international shipping. Most of our clients in North America and Europe receive their boutique packages within 7-12 business days.
