Understanding PVD Jewelry Platers
As professionals at customfashionjewels.com, we’ve had the privilege of working closely with PVD jewelry platers to craft stunning pieces. The PVD coating, or physical vapor deposition, involves the application of a thin layer of gold or other precious metals onto the base material in a vacuum chamber. This highly advanced plating method is favored for its durability and hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin.
Selecting the Right Base Material
One of the essential factors in the PVD process is choosing an appropriate base material. Stainless steel and sterling silver are popular choices due to their strength and corrosion resistance. The base metal plays a crucial role in ensuring the final piece of jewelry maintains a perfect blend of beauty and functionality.
Benefits of Vacuum Coating Process
The vacuum coating process used by jewelers ensures that each piece achieves a high-quality finish. Unlike traditional gold plating, which can be susceptible to tarnish, the PVD process offers greater durability. This method involves placing the jewelry in a vacuum chamber where titanium nitride or other materials are ion plated onto the surface through an electrical current.
Addressing Common Concerns
Hypoallergenic Properties
Given its hypoallergenic nature, PVD plated jewelry is perfect for individuals who are prone to allergic reactions from harsh chemicals found in traditional plating methods.
Warranty and Longevity
With a warranty backing our craftsmanship, we guarantee that your investment in high-quality PVD plated jewelry remains tarnish-free and retains its functional finish.
Care Instructions
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your PVD coated jewelry, avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals and store it properly when not in use.
Embracing Versatility in Design
The versatility offered by PVD plating allows for creativity in design. Whether you opt for gold PVD coating, rose gold, or chrome finishes, each type of jewelry—be it an engagement ring or everyday wear—can exhibit a stunning appearance akin to solid gold without bearing the same cost implications.
Incorporating Gemstones
When designing pieces that incorporate gemstones or vermeil accents, ensure that they complement the base metal and finish chosen during the plating method. The use of real gold enhances the allure of gemstones, offering a luxurious aesthetic to any piece.
