In the ever-evolving world of fashion jewelry, innovation and quality are key. Continental Bead Suppliers Inc. is thrilled to introduce our new vacuum plated waterproof gold collection, utilizing PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating. But what makes PVD different from traditional gold plating, and why is it a game-changer for fashion jewelry? Let's explore.

WHAT IS PVD VACUUM PLATING?

PVD is a vacuum coating process that produces a stunning decorative finish that's not only beautiful but also highly functional. By utilizing titanium nitride, PVD coatings offer an extremely durable and tough-wearing finish, far surpassing the resistance to wear of traditional gold plating.

PVD VS. TRADITIONAL GOLD PLATING

Both PVD and traditional gold plating give the finished product the appearance and feel of solid gold, but the differences lie in durability, appearance, and application:

Durability
  • PVD: Known for very high levels of durability, PVD coatings can be up to ten times thicker than conventional gold plating. They provide better resistance against sweat, chlorine, and other corrosive elements. PVD gold sometimes has a different appearance to solid gold. 
  • Traditional Gold Plating: While offering the exact look of solid gold, traditional gold plating is easily scratched and can start to tarnish within 12 to 18 months.
Appearance
  • PVD: Offers different shades of gold color, allowing for more customization and uniqueness in design.
  • Traditional Gold Plating: Provides the exact classic gold appearance.

ADVANTAGES OF GOLD COLORED PVD COATING

  1. Unmatched Durability: PVD's resistance to wear ensures that your jewelry will maintain its luster and beauty for years to come.
  2. Ease of Maintenance: PVD-coated jewelry can be cleaned in the dishwasher/sink without any issue, making care and maintenance a breeze.

CONCLUSION: A BRIGHT FUTURE WITH PVD

As we unveil our new vacuum plated waterproof gold collection, we invite you to experience the revolution that PVD brings to fashion jewelry. Its durability, versatility, and ease of maintenance make it a preferred choice for those seeking quality and innovation.
