electroplating thickness measurement

Professional XRF Technology for Jewelry and Precious Metals

We offer professional plating thickness measurement and alloy composition analysis for jewelry using advanced X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) technology. This modern analytical technique allows precise determination of both electroplated coating thickness and the elemental composition of precious metals and alloys used in jewellery manufacturing process. Our XRF testing services are ideal for jewelers, jewellery manufacturers, brands, galvanizing companies, and private customers who want to verify the quality, durability, and composition of their jewelry components.

Thanks to high measurement accuracy, you can be confident that your jewelry meets the required quality standards.

Precise Measurement of Electroplated Coatings

Our service includes professional testing of galvanic coatings such as:

  • Gold plating thickness measurement on various metals (analysis of up to 24 elements)

  • Rhodium plating thickness measurement on silver alloys

  • Silver plating thickness measurement on metal alloys (analysis of up to 12 elements)

All measurements are non-destructive, meaning the tested jewelry or component remains intact.

In rare cases — when the material composition is unknown or the sample has a multilayer structure — a very small micro-drilling test may be required to obtain fully reliable measurement results.

Jewelry Alloy Composition Analysis

In addition to coating measurement, we also perform detailed metal content of jewelry alloys.

Our XRF analysis can determine the chemical composition of:

  • gold jewelry alloys

  • silver jewelry alloys

  • titanium jewelry alloys

  • platinum jewelry alloys

The analysis identifies the percentage composition of up to 24 elements, allowing verification of the precious metal purity and alloy composition.

This service is particularly useful for:

  • jewelry quality control

  • certification and verification of precious metals

  • production material testing

  • verification of raw materials used in jewelry manufacturing

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1What is XRF jewelry testing?
XRF testing uses X-ray fluorescence to measure the composition of metals and the thickness of electroplated coatings on jewellery without damaging the sample.
2Is XRF analysis destructive?
No. XRF is a non-destructive testing method and does not alter the appearance or structure of the jewellery.
3What metals can be tested?
We analyze gold, silver, platinum, titanium, and many other metal alloys used in jewelry manufacturing.
4How accurate is XRF measurement?
XRF provides laboratory-level precision, typically with only a small percentage of measurement deviation.
5Can jewellery with gemstones be tested?
Yes, in most cases. As long as the metal surface is accessible to the measurement beam, testing can be performed safely.
6Can XRF determine gold purity?
Yes. XRF analysis can determine gold purity (carat value) as well as the percentage of alloying elements.
7How long does the analysis take?
Most individual measurements take only a few minutes.
8Can I send jewelry samples by mail?
Yes. Samples can be securely shipped, and results will be delivered electronically together with an XRF report.
9Who uses XRF testing services?
Our clients include jewelry manufacturers, electroplating companies, laboratories, collectors, and private customers verifying jewelry authenticity.
