Quality assurance
We can test and verify the thickness of silver plate, measured in microns. As a general rule for everyday cutlery, expect roughly a micron a year of wear — so a 10-micron plate should last approximately ten years.
What testing tells you
Using X-ray fluorescence, we verify the thickness of a silver plate without damaging the piece — so you know exactly what you are getting.
X-ray fluorescence reads the plate thickness without marking, cutting or harming the item in any way.
Plate thickness is measured precisely in microns, giving a clear, objective figure for the finish on your piece.
As a general guide for everyday cutlery, expect about a micron of wear per year — so a 10-micron plate should last approximately ten years.
