Confused by Gold Jewelry Terms? Let Us Break It Down for You!
Love gold jewelry but feel a little lost with all the different terms and names? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! We’re here to give you simple, fun explanations of what makes each type of gold jewelry special, and why PVD processed gold should be your go-to choice.
PVD Processed Gold
Stunning, waterproof pieces that keep their shine for years! PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a unique coating method that differs from traditional gold or silver plating. It uses a special technique to bond a layer of vacuum-processed gold to stainless steel. This process makes the gold incredibly durable and long-lasting. No fading, tarnishing, or discoloring—and it’s hypoallergenic too!
Unlike regular jewelry, PVD gold can be worn in the toughest conditions and will always look as good as new. And yes, feel free to shower with it!
Gold Vermeil
Gold vermeil is sterling silver jewelry coated with a thick layer of gold. It’s more durable than standard gold plating, making it suitable for everyday wear with proper care. It’s mostly hypoallergenic and more affordable than solid gold. However, gold vermeil can still tarnish or discolor over time if exposed to certain materials or conditions.
Gold Plated
Gold plated jewelry has a thin layer of gold over other metals. It’s the most budget-friendly option for gold jewelry. While it can be worn daily with care, it’s more likely to tarnish, discolor, or lose its shine due to wear and tear. It can also cause allergic reactions because of the metal mix (usually copper and brass) and may chip or peel when exposed to harsh conditions.
Remember: While PVD gold is designed to last longer, all these materials (except PVD) can tarnish or discolor with time. Proper care is essential to maintaining your jewelry’s original beauty.
