18k gold PVD plated jewelry is coated with a layer of 18 karat gold using a high-tech process called Physical Vapor Deposition. This method creates a strong, long-lasting bond between the gold and the base metal, making the finish more durable, resistant to tarnishing, and less likely to fade compared to traditional gold plating.

With proper care, 18k gold PVD plated jewelry can maintain its color and shine for years. Make sure to wipe with a soft, dry cloth if ever dirty. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly. Never use abrasive cloths or cleaners on jewelry. 

Absolutely! This jewelry is tarnish-resistant and has been tested countless times. My materials have been soaked in water overnight and vigorously wiped to test tarnishing. Although I do not recommend drowning your jewelry for 10 straight hours, our products can withstand it and any body of water you want to get in while wearing my jewelry!
