Can Silver Plating Wear Off?

Can Silver Plating Wear Off

Yes silver plating can wear off. Some people will have had the experience of seeing silverware that has worn through. Others might not even realise it’s possible. Or else they don’t realise that the brassy colour showing through is the metal that was once covered by the silver plating. Why does silver plating wear off?…

Testimonials

Just want to say a huge thank you to Award Engravers & Framers for the plastic dog tags I purchased. I am so happy with the look of them and their quality. They sit lovely against their other rego tags and we no longer have the rackety jangle of their old metal tags. I was also super impressed with the speed at which Award Engravers & Framers contacted me and the lollies in the bag were a welcomed surprise! I have recommended Award Engravers & Framers to all my friends with dogs.

Aisha Williams

We purchased a designer pet tag from Award Engravers & Framers a year ago for our cat Holly and it's been fantastic. No wear on it at all and still as vibrant as first day so now want one for my husband's dog Levi and my cat Lexie.

Julie Anderson

My personalised beer mug arrived this morning, safe and sound. Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job, I am sure my husband will love it. Award Engravers and Framers have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. I will definitely use this company again in the future and recommend them to my friends and family.

Maria Smith

Award Engravers and Framers went above and beyond what I was hoping for and even did a 2 day turn around for me. Thank you so much. This is what all NZ businesses should strive to be like.

Harley Forlong

I asked Linley to do a medal for our family Patriarch and Matriarch. Very very pleased with the results. Linley was able to use a very old photo as background so it is much more personal. Great communication and service with very quick delivery. Thank you, they will be around for a very long time.

Wendy Smith

WOW!! I cannot thank you enough for the trophy that was done for our family tennis day. It was made to specifications and your business was really accommodating to ensure I had the product I desired. The communication was friendly, prompt and so easy to correspond. The turnaround was fast and the product was packaged extremely well. THANK YOU. No hesitation to do business with you again.

Rangiwahia Osborne

I would happily recommend Award Engravers. When NCMA used Award Engravers to create sponsor plaques for all our seats in the Auditorium, Linley was extremely efficient and timely in response to my initial questions. She has an eye for detail, so dealing with 300 plaques in one go wasn’t an issue and she completed the job to meet the deadline and to a very good standard.

Robyn Sheves Nelson Centre of Musical Arts

Highly recommend Award Engravers, The Team went out of their way to complete our trophies in exceptional turnaround time. It’s five stars from us Riwaka Under 10 rugby team.

Lindsay & Genie Bradley Promote You

We have used Award Engravers & Framers for all our engraving and trophy work since Linley started her business and have found her very friendly as well as being extremely quick and efficient in meeting our requirements and deadlines. She always offers helpful advice and we would recommend her to any other organisations requiring this type of work.

Lyn Baigent Target Shooting Nelson

As a regular customer of Award Engravers & Framers we are pleased to recommend them highly; Their product is professional grade, backed by excellent very helpful service.

John Whyman Whyman Controls Ltd

Linley has recently obtained and engraved medals for our senior prize-giving. I found her to be courteous and professional to deal with, and she worked accurately and within a tight time frame. I would not hesitate to make use of her services again in future.

Kathy Sherwood Nayland College

I recently had the pleasure of Linley constructing a trophy which was not the norm. She managed to decipher all my emails and delivered a professional looking trophy completed to a high standard. With the added bonus of an insert being made from a file we sent. It was a great pleasure made easy with fast responses to emails, highly recommend to others.

Natasha Olynsma Air Training Corps, NZ Cadet Forces

Linley has framed my art and needlework for some years now. I always find her knowledge and advice great in helping me select the frames and mat boards for the best effect and at a reasonable price. I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone.

Dawn Farnsworth

Linley has engraved our trophies for several years now. Her service is always extremely efficient; often having the job completed by the following day. We’d highly recommend using Award Engravers & Framers for engraving.

Andy Colley Waimea Intermediate School

Our club has been delighted by Linley’s warm and friendly approach. It’s a fantastic skilled service, that’s good quality and great value. Golden Bay Football Club wouldn't hesitate to recommend Award Engravers & Framers every time.
