This finishing technique involves applying thin sheets of a precious metal alloy to an object’s surface, followed by a clear protective coating. The final step enhances the metallic sheen and provides durability. As an example, one might find this treatment applied to a wristwatch casing, lending it a premium aesthetic appeal while shielding it from environmental factors.
The use of such a method offers several advantages, including increased resistance to wear and tear, enhanced visual appeal through a reflective surface, and a perception of higher value in the finished product. Historically, similar techniques have been employed in various art forms and decorative applications to convey luxury and permanence.
