Customer Testimonials
“Red Sky Plating has made my work look great for 8 years now. If you’re a small volume metalsmith like me, it’s hard to get service providers to even take a phone call, but Red Sky treats me like I’m a big, important customer, even though most of my orders are just a little more than their minimum.
And their service is so good, I can honestly say that they’ve helped me meet deadlines that I would have missed without their help and personal attention.
I recommend Red Sky Plating to everyone I meet that needs plating services.” – Wesley Groot, Cityboy Forge
“Red sky has been a true partner in growing my business. From a technical standpoint they are knowledgeable and capable of offering the best plating in the industry.
Practicality being a key to any small business, they offer great customer service, timely turn-around and competitive pricing, and are always willing to go the extra mile to get a project done. I have always been beyond satisfied with the product I have received, and in kind I am able to offer that to my customers with confidence.” – Bree Richey Designs
“We have been working with Red Sky for over 15 years, and we’re very pleased with their service. The quality of the gold plate finish is outstanding, with a beautiful rich color and longevity that results in customer re-orders year after year.
The customer service team at Red Sky is excellent, with staff going above and beyond to be sure our orders are processed in a timely manner, and returned to us correctly bagged and organized for quick processing. Over the years we have recommended Red Sky to hundreds of people, and consider them a key element in our continued growth.” – Leah Rivers – Nina Designs
“I’ve used Red Sky to gold plate my jewelry for more than seven years. The staff is knowledgeable, the turn around times are great, and they treat their customers extremely well—even in the beginning when you might have no idea what you’re doing!
Because of Red Sky, I’m able to offer my customers gold at an approachable price, which is great for me. I like knowing that Red Sky measures the thickness of the gold so that I can reassure my customers that the plating is thick. This accessibility to gold inspires me to incorporate the gold color and more texture into my jewelry. Most importantly I just love the way gold looks next to the colorful enamel in my work and I’m grateful to Red Sky for making it easy for me to achieve this!” – Jenny Walker
“Once upon a time…we tried several electroplaters in the New Jersey area to 24K gold plate our (Fine Pewter) castings, but overall the results were inconsistent. Almost every batch had problems, and half of those problems became “unsolved mysteries”.
We knew we needed to offer our customers better plating, so we kept searching. Once we began working with Red Sky the plating was consistently better, so we quit looking elsewhere. Now it’s more than 25 years and more than 100,000 pieces later (I think), and we are happy to recommend Red Sky and their work to others.
Occasionally, we still have questions or problems related to plating. When we do, the team at Red Sky tackles our issues head-on and we really appreciate that. That’s why we plan to work with them happily ever after. The End.” – Jim Harris, SrVP, George Harris’ Wildlife Collection
“For over 20 years Red Sky has been plating Stewart-MacDonald parts. They are the only plater we use because Red Sky is the BEST!” – Eric Lange, Manager Stewart-MacDonald
We have been making jewelry for over 28 years and it is rare to find suppliers that we can count on 100%. When we began offering plated jewelry items we tried several different companies, but not one of them was able to do the quality work that we required. We were about to give up when we found Red Sky Plating.
We have been using Red Sky for over 12 years and never once have they disappointed us. The quality of their plating is the best, they always get orders to us on time and the excellent customer service that they offer is priceless. We can’t thank the folks at Red Sky enough for the excellent service they offer. Thank you for making our job easier and always making us and our customer happy! -Ted Fees, Esquivel & Fees
