What is 24Kt Gold PVD?

Genuine 24KT gold is used as a coating on the jewelry using the PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) process. The jewelry is placed in a heated, high vacuum chamber, where electric voltage is applied, vaporizing the coating and bonding agent to implant-grade titanium material. The bombardment causes the material to turn into tiny particles that are deposited on to the jewelry. Once the process is completed, the jewelry will have a hard layer that is long lasting, smooth, biocompatible, and can be autoclaved.

Gold PVD is used in high-wear industrial applications, the premium watch industry, dental applications, and jewelry - including professional grade body jewelry. The color, once deposited, stays bonded to the titanium, and does not flake or wear off. Gold PVD is not the same as gold plating, though the two are often confused, as it is more durable and long-lasting. It has a high resistance to daily wear and tear, and is an attractive, more affordable option to solid gold jewelry. 24kt gold is the purest form of gold. It is 100% gold, with almost no alloy metals added to it. It is rare to find anyone with sensitivities to 24kt gold. This is why 24kt gold is used in the Gold PVD process - not adding anything to the gold but dispersing the gold in a way that it coats and bonds to the titanium material.

24KT Gold PVD over implant grade titanum is a strong and safe metal for body piercings and an excellent alternative to solid gold.
