What does it look like?
Silver plating gives a bright, clean, mirror-like finish. It is the most neutral of the metal tones, so it suits almost any enamel colour scheme and lets your design take centre stage.

🎨Staff and name badges that need a smart, versatile finish

💡 Tip: Ordering a set of award badges? Silver pairs naturally with gold and copper tones, so one design can be made in three finishes for first, second and third.

Silver plated or nickel plated: what's the difference?
Both give a silver look. Silver plating has a bright, mirror-like finish, while nickel is a clean, slightly cooler silver. Free samples of each make it easy to compare.
Polished or antique silver: which should I choose?
Polished silver is bright and modern and suits almost any colour scheme. Antique silver darkens the recesses for a softer, aged look, which is lovely for commemorative and memorial designs.
Is silver plating a good choice for second-place awards?
Yes. Silver is the natural choice for second place, alongside gold for first and antique copper (bronze) for third. See our Custom Made Medals for award ideas.
Is silver plating the same as solid silver?
No. Silver plating is a surface finish over a base metal. If you’d like solid sterling silver, take a look at our Precious Metal Badges.
