The difference between silver and silver plating

The difference between silver and silver plating is as follows:

1, the production process is different: silver enamel is a relatively fine process, which needs to be polished by hand to enhance the luster and reflectivity of silverware; Silver plating refers to covering the surface of copper, iron or other metals with a layer of silver by electroplating or electroless plating.

2. Different thickness: the silver plating process needs repeated polishing many times in the manufacturing process, and the thickness of the silver layer is relatively thick, generally above 10 micron; The thickness of silver plating layer is generally below 2-3 microns.
