Electroplating was first discovered in 1805 but was not used commercially until 1840. By 1857 a cheaper process was found and it began to be used on inexpensive items like costume jewelry. It was about this same time that EPNS (electro plated nickel silver) was marked on pieces to indicate electroplating.
