An accessory that forms a colored film by forming a colored coating on the underlayer on the surface of a copper alloy by the ion plating method, and a nickel layer is formed by plating on the surface of the accessory made of a copper alloy. Comparing the corrosion resistance of the accessory manufactured by the prior art in which the gold layer is formed by plating, the former by the ion plating method is inferior to the latter by which the gold layer is formed by plating. Also,
The accessory according to Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 59-45754 has considerably excellent corrosion resistance as compared with the accessory in which a colored coating is formed on the underlayer of nickel or the like by the ion plating method, and the corrosion resistance is practically acceptable. Have However, the accessory of Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-45754 is
Since the chrome plating solution used for forming the underlayer is likely to remain on the surface of the formed chrome layer, it is troublesome to control the cleaning process for complete removal. Also, when the chromium plating solution cannot be completely removed in the cleaning process and remains as a residue on the surface of the chromium layer, and a colored film such as titanium nitride is formed by the ion plating method, the chromium plating solution remains as a residue. Adhesion with the colored film such as titanium nitride formed on the remaining portion deteriorates. Further, there is a problem such as pollution of chrome plating.

The jewelry 1 made of brass is subjected to pretreatments such as trichlene washing, alkaline degreasing and pickling, and then a nickel layer 2 of 5 μm is formed as a base layer by nickel plating, and tin cobalt plating is further performed thereon. Thus, a tin-cobalt alloy layer 3 having a thickness of 0.5 μm was formed. In this embodiment, the nickel layer 2 is 5 μm and the tin-cobalt alloy layer 3 is 0.5 μm.
The reason is as follows. The nickel thickness of the nickel layer 2 is preferably in the range of 1 to 10 μ, and if the film thickness is less than 1 μ, there is concern about corrosion resistance. If the thickness is more than 10 μ, corrosion resistance is sufficient, but nickel deposits particularly on the edge part due to current density. It may have a lot of roundness and may be unfavorable in appearance. The tin-cobalt alloy layer 3 has a tin-cobalt alloy thickness of 0.
If it is in the range of 1 to 5μ and the film thickness is thinner than 0.1μ, there is concern about corrosion resistance, and if it is thicker than 5μ, it is economically unfavorable. That is, it can be carried out without being limited to the above-mentioned numerical values, but the nickel layer is added in an amount of 1 to 10 μm as described above due to corrosion resistance and other reasons.
It is preferable that the tin-cobalt alloy layer has a thickness of 0.1 to 5 μm. Next, the composition of the plating solution used for this plating and the plating conditions are as follows.

The surface of the accessory 1 was washed.

Next, the degree of vacuum in the bell jar was set to 2.0 × 10 in a mixed atmosphere of Ar gas as an inert gas and N 2 gas as a reactive gas.
-3 Torr, voltage (3.0 kV 50 mA) is applied, plasma is generated and metallic titanium is heated and evaporated by an electron beam,
On the upper surface of the tin-cobalt alloy layer 3 of the accessory 1, a 0.3 μm colored coating of the titanium nitride layer 4 was formed. When the accessory according to the above-mentioned example was tested, it was excellent in corrosion resistance and there was no problem of workability and pollution as in Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-45754 because it does not use chromium.

Table 1 shows the results of the corrosion resistance test of artificial jewelry soaked for 24 hours, which was performed on the jewelry made in this manner and the jewelry manufactured by the conventional technique. The prior art shown in Table 1 was completed by forming a nickel layer as an underlayer on the surface of an accessory made of brass and forming a colored film of a titanium nitride layer on the underlayer by an ion plating method. Yes, there are two test results of the conventional jewelry and the jewelry which has a nickel layer formed by plating on the surface of the brass jewelry and a gold layer formed on the nickel layer by plating.
