The galvanized process is used in some of our collections and involves coating a metal with a thin layer of another metal or specially developed products such as ceramic baths. Its general function is to protect the metal surface on which the process is carried out or to change its appearance/finish.


At Ardentia, we use different galvanized processes as gold plating or ceramic-based color finishes. Before applying these galvanic baths to our pieces to give them a different look, we prepare the surface by polishing and buffing the pieces until we achieve a mirror-like finish for impeccable results.

Some of our collections, designed with textures or geometric and natural shapes, do not require polishing since design is developed to create unique matte finishes using different types of baths.

To apply the decorative baths, we use a galvanic machine specifically designed for jewelry making, fully equipped for galvanizing, as well as pre-processes such as ultrasonic cleaning and degreasing with salts.
Our jewelry pieces are connected by a copper wire that conducts the electric current and are immersed in various liquids in different containers before the final coating/bath.

 Each process requires a different voltage, so it is recommended that our power source has a voltage regulation system. Each process has a different voltage range and different periods of time during which the pieces are submerged.

While gold bath finish when the required immersion time is completed, the ceramic galvanization process requires baking at 150 degrees as the final step for the solidification of the applied layer. Once the pieces are removed from the oven, we only need to touch them up to remove the unwanted galvanization color in some areas.

From that moment on, our jewelry is ready (to shine for our customers).
