✨ What Is PVD Gold Plating on Brass?
Our pieces are crafted using PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) gold plating over a brass base, a modern and highly durable coating method designed for both beauty and everyday wear.
🔬 How It’s Made
PVD is an advanced process where real gold is vaporized in a vacuum chamber and bonded to the surface of the metal at a molecular level. This creates a strong, even, and long-lasting finish that is more durable than traditional gold plating.
The brass core provides a solid foundation, while the PVD layer forms a protective outer coating that enhances durability and color.

🧠 Why PVD Can Be Applied to Brass (Not Just Stainless Steel)
PVD is a coating technology, not a type of metal. It can be applied to a variety of base metals, including brass, as long as the surface is properly prepared.
Brass is an excellent base for jewelry because:
• It allows for fine details and intricate designs
• It provides a smooth surface for an even coating
• It offers a warm tone that enhances the gold finish
While stainless steel is commonly used for PVD in industrial applications, brass is widely used in jewelry for its balance of durability, design flexibility, and overall appearance.

⚠️ Tarnish-Resistant, Not Tarnish-Proof
Our jewelry is designed to be tarnish-resistant, meaning it resists fading and discoloration much better than traditional plating.
However, no plated jewelry is completely tarnish-proof. Over time, exposure to certain environments, chemicals, and individual body chemistry can affect the finish.
We do not guarantee that this item will not tarnish, and we do not guarantee a specific timeframe for how long the finish will last. By purchasing, you acknowledge that tarnishing and wear are normal characteristics of plated jewelry, and we are not responsible for these outcomes.
Factors that may accelerate wear include:
• Sweat and body chemistry
• Moisture and humidity
• Chemicals and skincare products
🧴 Jewelry Care Tips (To Maximize Longevity)
To keep your piece looking its best:
• Avoid pools, hot tubs, and ocean water – chlorine and salt are highly corrosive
• Remove before showering or exercising
• Keep away from lotions, perfumes, sunscreen, and cleaning products
• Put jewelry on last when getting ready
• Store in a dry place when not in use
