·Throwing this out to the brain trust - has anyone had success with rose gold re-plating?
I have a vintage watch buckle that was originally plated in yellow gold, is now in rough shape, and I would love to have it re-plated in rose gold to match a watch.
Took it to my trusted watchmaker, who uses a company very successfully for yellow gold re-plating, but he said he has stopped doing any rose gold with them, as it always turns out poorly. Like unusably bad and he strongly recommends it not be done...
Has anyone had a successful experience with this lately? And bonus if you can point me to a company in the Los Angeles area...!
Thanks!
