What is 24K PVD gold and why choose it for your piercings?

Genuine 24-karat gold is coated on the jewelry using the PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) process. Unlike what is commonly known as gold plating or bathing, PVD is an advanced technique that allows the gold to adhere evenly and permanently to implant-grade titanium. The result is piercing pieces with the shine and elegance of solid gold, but much more wear-resistant and at an affordable price.

24-karat gold is the purest form of gold, which is why it's used in the PVD process: it's not mixed with other materials, but is dispersed evenly to coat and adhere to the titanium, ensuring safety and biocompatibility in each piece.

Advantages of 24kt PVD gold in piercings

• Affordable and Durable : Offers the look of solid gold at a much lower cost and great strength.

• Safe and Biocompatible : 24K PVD coating on implant-grade titanium is a strong, safe, and piercing-friendly material.

• Resistant to daily wear : Once the process is complete, the jewelry acquires a hard, smooth, and durable coating that is biocompatible and autoclavable. The color, bonded to the titanium, won't flake or wear off easily.

• Premium Aesthetics : Visually, it is almost indistinguishable from solid gold, making it a sleek and sophisticated choice for any piercing style.

24K PVD Gold vs. Solid Gold: Key Differences

At first glance, PVD gold and solid gold have a very similar finish, both with an attractive shine and high-end aesthetic. The main difference lies in the base: while solid gold is composed entirely of gold, PVD gold is applied as a layer of pure 24-karat gold over implant-grade titanium. This combination allows you to enjoy the aesthetics of gold at a more affordable price, without compromising safety or quality.

In terms of durability, PVD gold jewelry is designed to withstand daily use, maintaining its shine and color with proper care.

Care and maintenance

To prolong the life of your 24kt PVD gold piercings, it is recommended:

• Avoid exposing parts to abrasive or chemical products.

• Clean gently with warm water and neutral soap.

• Store them in a dry, safe place when not in use.

With these basic care instructions, your PVD gold jewelry will maintain its shine and durability for a long time.
