Description
PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition. It is a vacuum coating process used to apply a thin layer of gold-colored material onto jewelry or other items. When it comes to achieving a gold look, there are two common methods: gold PVD coating and gold plating.
old PVD Coating:
Process: In PVD, a titanium nitride is used to create a brilliant decorative and functional finish. The coating is extremely durable and resistant to corrosion from sweat and regular wear.
Advantages:
Durability: PVD coatings are more durable than gold plating.
Corrosion Resistance: They withstand corrosion better.
Longer Lifetime: PVD-coated items last longer.
Thickness: PVD coatings can be up to 10 times thicker than standard gold plating.
Use Cases: High-end jewelry that requires durability and resistance to wear and corrosion often benefits from gold PVD coating.
