Tarbin is correctbut electroplating isn't actually that simple in practice. Believe me, I do it at work.
You need lots of additives to control how the metal deposits, and also a current-regulated power supply to do it properly. It's also better if you use larger area samples. A ring is a bit small.
Incidentally, I have successfully copper plated 'silver' coins, and nickel plated copper ones. I think I'll go and write an entry on that!
