Hello, Nickel is sometimes used in Miyuki beads plating for several reasons related to the durability and finish of the beads. Here are the main reasons :
- Improved plating adhesion : Nickel is an excellent base material for fixing gold plating. It provides a stable, smooth surface, enabling 24k gold to adhere well to glass beads. Without such an underlying plating, the gold may not set properly or may deteriorate rapidly.
- Durability and wear resistance : Nickel is a strong, wear-resistant metal. It helps protect gold plating from scratches and other abrasion. This ensures that beads retain their shiny, precious appearance for a long time to come.
- Aesthetics and brilliance : Nickel can also contribute to the brilliance and smooth finish of beads. It can provide a reflective base that enhances the appearance of the gold placed on top.
