What type of plating is used for the Coloured Stainless Steel Items 

We make use of PVD plating

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) plating is an advanced surface coating technique that involves depositing thin layers of material onto a substrate using a vacuum environment, resulting in enhanced durability, corrosion resistance. 

Although Pvd is more durable than liquid plating in normal costume jewellery that turns black, there will be some colour change in Rosegold items due to the process. It will change to an old gold after a while.



Will this item change colour

Because silver is the original color of stainless steel, it retains its shine.

This is also true for yellow gold and black finishes.

However, the rose gold may transition to a deeper shade of old gold over time, influenced by your skin's acidity levels among other factors.

Importantly, none of the colors will rust or cause blue or green discoloration on your skin.
