hello Ganesh,

    i presume that you are using the traditional method of either CHATKA
    (by acid, for plain gold jewellery) or GILLIT (by cynide, for studded
    jewellery). 

    in my view you should opt for electroplating of gold.there are
    acid,cynide as well as some nuetral processes available,wherein if
    your pieces are having good surface finish (i.e.deburring,buffing
    etc.)then you can get excellant colour and finish.also you will get
    uniformity and durability. 

    there are many plating chemicals companies to choose from.i had
    suggested a company to UMA MAHESHWARI (your Q.C. department) in an
    earlier thread in this forum (page 7 november 2005), you can contact
    them and get detailed info. 

thanks,
