Our gold-plated stainless steel jewellery is PVD coated 18k gold onto durable stainless steel. PVD coating 18K gold on stainless steel offers significant advantages over traditional gold plating methods such as electroplating or ion plating. Unlike conventional plating, which deposits a thin and often uneven layer of gold that can fade, chip, or tarnish over time, PVD creates a molecular bond between the gold layer and the stainless steel surface.

This results in a much harder, more durable, and scratch-resistant finish that maintains its colour and shine for years.

The process is also hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly, as it uses no harsh chemicals or cyanide-based solutions. Additionally, PVD allows for a more consistent and luxurious appearance, closely resembling solid gold while being far more affordable. In essence, PVD-coated 18K gold stainless steel jewellery combines the beauty of real gold with the strength and longevity of modern technology, making it superior to conventional gold plating in both performance and value.

All pieces can be worn in the shower and when you swim and won't tarnish quickly due to the PVD plating technique we use for all our jewellery. This being said, constant exposure to water may speed up the wear of your pieces.

Our jewellery is plated in 18k gold or white gold. Plated jewellery will naturally wear over time, to learn how to prolong the life of your piece, please visit our care page.
