What does 18K PVD Gold Plating mean?

This means that the jewelry has a coating of 18 karat gold.

18K PVD Gold Plating refers to a type of surface treatment where a layer of 18 karat gold is applied to another metal using PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) technology.

This provides a durable and long-lasting gold finish that looks beautiful. The PVD treatment ensures that the gold plating adheres better and is more resistant to wear and discoloration.

With this treatment, the color will retain its luster and last a very long time. It will not fade easily and is an anti-static, scratch-resistant, and waterproof material.

Titanium Steel: Stainless steel: Titanium steel is a strong and durable material often used in jewelry because it is lightweight and resistant to scratches and corrosion.

Surgical Steel vs. Titanium: Which is best?

1. Surgical Steel (316L Stainless Steel)

This is the most common material in quality jewelry.

Advantages: Very durable, does not rust, and has a shiny, silver-like surface.

It is more affordable than titanium.

Allergy: Contains small amounts of nickel. Although the nickel is "bound" in the metal, extremely sensitive individuals may react. Therefore, choose TITANIUM.

Feel: It has a pleasant weight that feels exclusive.

2. Titanium

Titanium is often used in medical implants and professional piercings.

Advantages: 100% nickel-free and thus the safest choice for allergy sufferers. It is extremely corrosion-resistant (perfectly withstands salt water and chlorine).

Weight: Titanium is about 40% lighter than steel, making it ideal for large earrings you want to wear all day without noticing them.

Color: Has a slightly darker, grayer tone than steel in its untreated form.

Brass in pendants

When a pendant is made of brass with gold plating, while the rod/hook itself is steel or titanium, there is a strategic reason for it:

Formability: Brass is a softer metal than steel and titanium. This allows for more detailed designs, such as thin loop script or intricate floral details.

Gold Plating: Brass takes gold plating very well, providing a smooth and beautiful surface.

Important to know: Since brass is not a precious metal, it should be kept away from water and perfume for the gold layer to last as long as possible.

WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Choose Titanium if you have a nickel allergy or want earrings that are so light you barely notice them.

Choose Surgical Steel if you want a robust piece of jewelry with good weight at a reasonable price.

Moissanite: Moissanite is a type of synthetic gemstone that resembles diamond but has different physical and chemical properties. It was first discovered in 1893 by French chemist Henri Moissan in a meteorite.

Moissanite has a high refractive index, which gives it a beautiful brilliance and light dispersion that can surpass that of a diamond. It is also known for its durability, being highly resistant to scratches and wear. Because of this, moissanite has become a popular alternative to diamonds in jewelry, especially for engagement rings.

Synthetic varieties of moissanite are produced in laboratories today, making them more accessible and often more economical than natural diamonds.

Rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver

Rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver means that the jewelry or object is made of 925 sterling silver, which is an alloy consisting of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper). The rhodium plating is a thin layer of rhodium, a rare and valuable metal used to provide extra protection, shine, and improve resistance to scratches and corrosion. Rhodium-plated jewelry often has a brighter and more mirror-like surface than regular sterling silver, and the plating also helps prevent tarnishing over time.
