PVD Plated Jewelry

What is PVD plating?

PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) plating is a modern, high-end technique for plating metals with a layer of precious metal. This plating technique is much more durable than regular plating, which means you can enjoy your PVD plated pieces for a much longer time, especially with the right care. In short, these are some of the advantages of PVD plated jewelry:

• Water resistant
• Does not fade when exposed to sunlight
• More resistant to scratching
• No environmental pollution - regular plating releases cyanide into the environment, PVD plating does not.
