What Is PVD Coating? And How It Makes Jewellery Waterproof.
If you’ve ever owned jewellery that tarnished, faded or turned your skin green after a few wears, you already know the problem. That’s exactly why PVD coating is such a game changer.
PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition, a modern coating process where a thin layer of metal (often real gold) is bonded to jewellery at a molecular level inside a vacuum chamber. Unlike traditional plating, which simply sits on the surface, PVD fuses the coating to the base metal, in our case high quality stainless steel, making it far more durable and safe for sensitive skin.
PVD coating is 10 times more durable than gold plated.
The result, jewellery that’s incredibly resistant to water, sweat, salt and everyday wear.
Why PVD Jewellery Is A Game Changer
Waterproof & Sweatproof PVD coated jewellery can handle showers, swimming, workouts and beach days with fading or tarnishing.
Extremely Durable Because the coating bonds so strongly to the metal, it’s far more scratch resistant than standard gold plating.
Long Lasting Colour The colour stays rich and vibrant for years instead of wearing off quickly.
Hypoallergenic All our PVD jewellery is made over stainless steel, which is safe for most sensitive skin types.
Low Maintenance No polishing, removing before water and no constant worry about ruining your favourite pieces.
At Sand Jewellery, we use PVD coated stainless steel to create pieces that are waterproof, non tarnish and designed for everyday life. That means you can wear your jewellery everyday, everywhere, always. Because jewellery should be something you live in, not something you constantly have to protect.
