Fernandina Island: The Youngest Island of the Galapagos. The Galapagos Islands were formed by volcanic activity. The oldest islands, EspaÃ±ola and San Cristobal, are found on the Eastern part of the archipelago. Fernandina Island, one of the westernmost islands, is also one of the newest: It is still being formed by the islandâs own active volcano.
Silver-plating charges depend on the size of a piece and its base metal. For example, replating a creamer and sugar-bowl set is $40 for the pair. To replate a 5-by-10-inch undecorated tray costs $22 to $25. Replating teapots can cost $30 to $40. Tea trays are $100 and up.
Gold plating is a method of depositing a thin layer of gold onto the surface of another metal, most often copper or silver (to make silver-gilt), by chemical or electrochemical plating.
