IP PVD, or Ion Plating Physical Vapour Deposition, is an industry leading, superior plating technology that we use for all our plated pieces, which bonds a thick layer of high-grade metals onto the jewellery’s surface. Compared to traditional plating methods, this process creates a harder, more durable finish that retains its polish, providing a luxurious look without the risk of peeling or fading.
Our jewellery is crafted for lasting beauty, whether solid or plated. For solid metals, like sterling silver and gold, tarnishing is naturally resisted and can be maintained with minimal care. Our plated jewellery, enhanced with advanced IP PVD coating, offers a highly durable finish that resists tarnishing and fading over time. With occasional care, both solid and plated pieces will retain their original brilliance, even with regular wear.
