How to Choose Medal’s Plating Color
Gold, silver, and bronze are the classic choices for medals, symbolizing first, second, and third place. These colors carry universal meaning for winners, representing different levels of achievement. However, for themed events or unique recognition awards, colors like black nickel, antique copper, or rose gold can add a personalized touch and break away from tradition.
Design Aesthetics
The medal’s design should guide your plating color choice. A highly detailed or intricate medal may benefit from antique finishes, as they bring out the depth and details, while sleek designs are enhanced by polished or satin finishes in gold or silver.
Longevity and Durability
Durability is another consideration. Medals designed to be keepsakes should have a plating that withstands wear and tear. Nickel, chrome, and other resistant finishes are great options for medals intended to last a long time without tarnishing.
The chosen plating color for a medal can transform its overall impact, making it either classic or unique depending on the event and design. Whether opting for traditional gold, silver, and bronze, or experimenting with custom finishes, the plating will play a vital role in defining the medal’s elegance and significance.
