Selective replating?

Does anyone know if plating can be selectively repaired? I have a 7 O' Clock handle which had a bit of blackish material, and trying to get it off I ended up wearing away a little more of the plating.

I really like the handle color with the off-tone gold rings in the inset area, but I don't know if you can replate just areas (or cover the gold rings with wax and replate the handle as usual? Would that be nickel?).
 
The 'gold' in the grooves is actually tarnished silver plating.

It is possible to replate areas in different materials but not in so small an areas as those grooves.
