PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition
In jewellery manufacturing, PVD plating is an advanced vacuum-coating process where a solid metal (such as silver, gold, or titanium nitride) is vapourised in a sealed chamber and molecularly bonded to the surface of the jewellery.
What makes PVD special?
* Extremely durable – up to 10x more wear-resistant than traditional electroplating
* Scratch & fade resistant – ideal for everyday jewellery
* Tarnish resistant – doesn’t oxidize like standard plated finishes
* Eco-friendly – no toxic acids or wastewater
* Colour stable – maintains tone far longer
* Hypoallergenic – when used on stainless steel or titanium bases
