I have decided on a clip I want to use on most of my pens and being nickel plated, it matches pretty well with many other parts I already use.
Currently I am making parts from sterling silver, stainless steel and titanium and would also like to offer gold parts but since it would be insane to use solid gold, I am looking at plating the parts I already have.
I looked into gold and silver plating several months ago and sent out samples to different companies to be plated. This exercise was just a disaster, one was outrageously priced for mediocre work, another did very poor work and the third lost my samples. Of all the plated samples returned to me, none were suitable to put on a pen for sale.
So here is my question..........
Can anyone recommend a company or individual that can gold plate pen clips in small lots of say 50 or 100 clips?
I would really like to have specifics rather than..."there's a place in New Jersey a friend of a friend used to use"
If anyone would care to share who they are currently using I would appreciate it, and a contact name and phone number or email address would be great!
Thanks
