• PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition:

  This is a process where a material is vaporized (turned into a gas) and then deposited onto a substrate (the base metal) in a vacuum. 

• Vacuum Coating:

  The process takes place in a vacuum chamber, ensuring a clean environment for the gold atoms to deposit. 

• High Temperature:

  The process involves high temperatures, which helps the gold atoms adhere strongly to the base metal. 

• Titanium Nitride:

  Often, a thin layer of titanium nitride, a hard and durable compound, is applied before the gold layer. 

• Durable and Vibrant Finish:

  Gold PVD coating provides a durable, scratch-resistant, and vibrant gold finish that resists tarnishing and corrosion. 

• More Affordable than Solid Gold:

  While solid gold is more valuable, PVD offers a way to achieve a similar aesthetic at a more affordable price.
