Our Rose Gold Brush/Pen Plating Solution Cyanide Free plates a warm shade of 18kt rose gold and can be used for both brush and pen plating. You can use either the Carbon Electrode – preferred –  (2.0 – 2.5 volts) or the Platinum Electrode (2.5 – 3.0 volts) with this solution.
One of the outstanding qualities of the Rose Gold Brush/Pen Plating Solution Cyanide Free is that it plates very fast compared to other brush plating solutions.
You can compare the plating rates using our online brush plating calculator on the links bar above.

Battery Powered Plating Pen confirguration:
We recommend two batteries + Battery Replacer
In certain circumstances, when plating small or irregularly shaped items it may be advantageous to use:
two batteries + Battery Voltage Reducer

Please note:

This is an air-sensitive solution. When not in use, keep the lid tightly shut and make sure you minimise the air space in the bottle. To help you do this you could either add glass marbles or beads to the bottle, or simply squeeze out the excess air at the top of the bottle.
You can also store the solution in a special storage syringe that’s available on the online shop.
If you don’t minimise the air space then the gold component in the solution will degenerate. This will cause copper-rich plating, which will tarnish quickly.
Please click on the ‘Examples’ tab below for suggestions on how to minimise air contamination.

Please see below for more products related to Rose Gold Brush/Pen Plating Solution (18 Karat).

We recommend a gold flash before plating onto stainless steel, nickel and its alloys.

Our Rose Gold Brush Plating Solution doesn’t have to be mixed beforehand, making it more convenient to use. To make a stronger shade of rose gold, mix in some of our Rose Gold Mixer and to soften the shade mix in some of our Gold Whitener or Green Gold Mixer
Please see our rose gold brush plating guide in our Electroplating manual by clicking HERE
Can also be used with both of our plating pens.

The rose gold brush/pen plating solution can be used very successfully with our battery powered plating pen with one of our short electrodes and short swab fitted. You can use either a platinum or a carbon short electrode. We recommend that you reduce the voltage of the battery powered pen by replacing one of the batteries with our battery replacer.

Our Gold Pen and Brush Plating Kit would also be an excellent choice for rose gold plating with this solution. This kit is powered by our EasyPlater which means adjusting the volts for rose gold plating is very straightforward.

Because this Rose Gold Brush/Pen Plating Solution (18 Karat) is an air-sensitive solution, when not in use, keep the lid tightly shut and take measures to minimise the air space remaining in the bottle. These can include adding marbles or glass beads to the bottle, squeezing out the excess air at the top of the bottle or drawing up and storing your solution in one of our syringes, which can be purchased HERE.

Rose gold brush plating on silver

Our Rose Gold Brush Plating Solution creates a stunning shade of 18 karat rose gold. Because you don't need to pre-mix it, it can prove a more economical and time-saving choice over our Rose Gold Mixer and K-Gold solution.
This project demonstrates rose gold plating on to sterling silver using another money saving feature - our Short Swab. This swab is ideal for small, one-off plating jobs such as rings and earrings as it's about half the length of our Standard Swab and so soaks up considerable less plating solution.
This solution can also be used with both of our plating pens.
Please note, the LED Rectifier has now been discontinued and we recommend using the MF Rectifier Mk II in tank and brush mode.

What equipment and solution you will need to rose gold brush plate

Equipment; MF Rectifier Mk IIElectrode Handle, Carbon Electrode (2 volts) or Platinum Electrode (3 volts), Short Swab, Red Lead Short x 1, Red Lead (1.5 metre) x 1, Black Lead, Crocodile Clip x 2, Plating Baker 250ml, Mesh Electrode 250ml, Rinse Beaker, Rinse Bottle, Conductive Strip, Gold Plated Jigging Wire. Solutions; Rose Gold Brush Plating Solution (18kt) 100ml, Cleaner 250ml, MPU 100ml

Set up your equipment as shown in the picture. If you are using our MF Rectifier Mk II, please click HERE for instructions on setting it up for the tank cleaning part of the project, and HERE for the brush plating part of the project.

Make sure the two red leads connect both the cleaner beaker and the electrode handle to the MF Rectifier. Fashion a hook from your Gold Plated Jigging Wire to hold the item safely while it is hanging in the Cleaner. Fit a Carbon Electrode or a Platinum Electrode into your Electrode Handle and slip on your Short Swab.

 

Measuring out the Rose Gold Brush Plating Solution

Measure out 2ml of Rose Gold Brush Plating solution using your pipette and transfer it to a small beaker. This amount will be enough for the size of the ring we’re plating and is a suitable amount for the Short Swab.

Cleaning the silver ring; stage 1

Hook the ring on to the jigging wire and check that the rectifier is set to 3 – 4.5 volts.

Cleaning the silver ring; stage 2

First clean the surface of the ring thoroughly with our MPU using a clean tissue. There’s no need to rinse off the MPU before lowering the ring into the Cleaner. You will see bubbles immediately form as the Cleaner gets to work.

Cleaning the silver ring; stage 3

After a minute or so, rinse off the Cleaner with the Rinse Bottle, first into the cleaner beaker and then into the rinse beaker.

Rose Gold Brush Plating 3 volts if using Platinum Electrode, 2 volts if using Carbon Electrode

Once the ring is thoroughly rinsed, fit the Conductor Strip into the crocodile clip on the black lead and then soak up the Rose Gold Brush Plating Solution with the Short Swab.

Grip the ring in the Crocodile Clip using the Conductor Strip to make electrical contact and start plating with  a regular, circular motion. Because you’re using the Short Swab and all of your solution is in the swab, you don’t need to be dipping the swab back in the solution. This helps you concentrate on getting an even layer of plate all over the surface of your item.

Keep plating for about five minutes, rinse as before and then finish with MPU to bring out the shine.

Finishing the rose gold ring

We recommend finishing the ring with MPU rather than our usual recommendation of MetaSeal as the rose gold is quite a hard layer and requires a greater cut, which MPU affords.
