How To Use Cord End/Tips For Jewelry Making
We provide a variety of cord end/tips, you are sure to find what you need here. The cord end/tips are divided into several categories according to different usage. You can choose cord ends, end caps, folding crimp ends, slider end caps, etc.
How to use cord end/tips?
-
Step 1: Prepare the materials needed in advance.
-
Step 2: Burn the end of the cord with a lighter to prevent it from unraveling.
-
Step 3: Apply glue to the end of the cord.
-
Step 4: Insert the glue-coated cord into a cord end/tips with appropriate size.
-
Step 5: Apply glue again to the junction of cord and cord end/tips to fix it. You can also secure it with a jewelry plier.
-
Step 6: Finished.

Real Gold Plated Jewelry Findings
Karat Gold - Understanding Gold Purity
1K Gold = 4.166% pure Gold
"K" stands for karat and indicates the percentage of gold in an alloy.
Gold Plated Information
-
Real 18K Gold plated
Base Metal
(Brass or Zinc Alloy
or Stainless Steel)A very thin layer of 18k gold
-
Real platinum plated
Base Metal
(Brass or Zinc Alloy
or Stainless Steel)A very thin layer of 75% Gold+ 25% Silver+Nickel+Zinc(Nickel not exceed 0.3%)
-
Real Rose Gold plated
Base Metal
(Brass or Zinc Alloy
or Stainless Steel)A very thin layer of 75% Gold+ 25% Copper+Silver+Zinc
Our 18K gold-plated jewelry is not actually made of 18 karat gold, its base metal is usually brass, zinc alloy, sterling silver, or stainless steel. 18K gold-plated jewelry is created through electrochemical plating or chemical processes that deposit a very thin layer of 18K gold onto the base metal, with the gold layer being as thin as about 0.01 to 0.03 micrometers. Despite its thinness, there is real gold on such jewelry, even if it's just a thin layer of it.
The production principle of Real Platinum Plated and Real Rose Gold Plated jewelry is the same as 18K gold-plated jewelry, it is also created through electrochemical plating or the application of chemicals to deposit a very thin layer of karat gold over the base metal. On our website, in comparison to commonly plated products, the color durability of Real Platinum Plated and Real Rose Gold Plated jewelry is superior.
Real 18K Gold Plated VS Golden Plated
We offer two types of gold-plated jewelry: real gold-plated (12K, 14K, 18K, and 24K) and golden-plated. Below is a brief comparison between real 18K gold-plated and golden-plated items, similar to other real gold-plated pieces.
 Real 18K Gold plated |
 Golden plated |
|
|---|---|---|
| Color Durability | Usually 6~12 Months | Usually 3~6 Months |
| Karat Gold Layer | About 0.01~0.03μm | Without real gold |
| Gold Layer Material | 18 Karat Gold | Unknown Golden Material |

Difference Between Ion Plating (IP) and PVD Vacuum Plating
Difference Between Ion Plating (IP)
and PVD Vacuum Plating
Our stainless steel jewelry undergoes three types of electroplating processes: PVD vacuum plating, ion plating (IP), and water electroplating. Vacuum plating, also known as physical vapor deposition (PVD), is a surface treatment technology. This process involves evaporating or sputtering metal or non-metal materials under vacuum conditions and depositing them onto the surface of the object to create a thin film. PVD technology includes various coating methods, with ion plating (IP) being one of them. Ion plating (IP) is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that is sometimes called ion assisted deposition (IAD) or ion vapor deposition (IVD) and is a modified version of vacuum deposition.
The thickness of the plating layer is influenced by the electroplating process and duration. The longer the plating time, the thicker the layer becomes, resulting in longer color preservation.
Below is a brief comparison of the color durability of Ion Plating, PVD Vacuum Plating, and Water Galvanization.
| Electroplating Process | Feature | Metal Color | Color Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Electroplating | Stainless steel is a non-reactive metal, which means it does not oxidize or tarnish like other metals such as silver or brass. Hypoallergenic. | Stainless Steel Color | Tarnish resistant, retain its color for a long time |
| Vacuum Ion Plating(IP) | The vacuum plating process is complex and requires specific environmental and equipment conditions, making it a green, environmentally friendly technology. The plating is done in a vacuum oven, resulting in longer color retention and a durable coating. |
