Our surgical steel items are PVD coated (Physical Vapor Deposition) with 24K real gold, while our Titanium and CoCr NF items are PVD coated with 18K real gold to better match our 18K solid gold collection.
The jewelry is coated in a heated chamber under high vacuum. Electric voltage applied will form a plasma in the chamber and the introduction of various gases produces an ion bombardment. This bombardment atomizes the cathode material (24k/18k real Gold) into tiny substances which are deposited on the jewelry. The result is a hardened layer, which is biocompatible. It can be autoclaved.
