Maria Gold Chain Necklace | 18K Gold PVD Plated Stainless Steel

Our pieces are made of stainless steel coated with either 14K or 18K Gold through a process called PVD coating.

Physical Vapor Deposition, or PVD, is a vacuum coating process that produces a brilliant decorative and functional finish. PVD utilizes a titanium nitride that provides an extremely durable coating.

Famous luxury brands turn to this process in order to achieve gorgeous finishes on everything from watches to bags. Incredibly resistant against corrosion and wear, these coatings will keep their luster even when worn every day - making them an ideal choice if shiny jewelry is part of your daily style.

Yes, and yes. The PVD coating allows our pieces to be waterproof and tarnish-resistant - even in adverse conditions like rain or sweat. It's a great choice for people who never take their jewelry off.

Yes, our pieces are generally hypoallergenic since they are nickel-free. However, some people are just allergic to stainless steel, and if you are one of those people, we recommend 925 Sterling Silver for you instead.
