STUDI EKSPERIMEN FINISHING PERHIASAN KUNINGAN DENGAN PERPADUAN ELEKTROPLATING DAN PATINASI

Finishing Research The combination of Patina and electroplating has been carried out according to the research target, which has been able to identify metal materials, especially brass and copper. Bronze and copper Patenting techniques with various jewelry forms. The form of jewelry created amongst other things: bracelets, pendants, jewelry earrings are made with solder technique, tatah, and saws. Before the author experiment and apply patina and electroplating as the main finishing on jewelry on the work of creation. The author first conducted patina and electroplating tests to brass and copper plates with size 2 x 3 cm. The process and results of this research experiment is the answer and the first step which has successfully conducted various scientific experiments with found patina finishing formula with the ideal chemical mixing composition. Research on patina and electroplating experiments can be a contribution to the progress of finishing. Patina finishing research is preferred in brass and copper.Finishing is the finishing touch of a product with a better purpose, such as increasing the quality of the ingredients, increasing the decorative value, increasing the aesthetic value of a product, following the latest design trends, and can increase the selling value of a product. This research is a new research that has not been there before with the method of merging patina and electroplating techniques will be a trend finishing and as a pioneer finishing on jewelry with brass and copper. Keywords: jewelry finishing experiment, patination finishing, finishing electroplating
