Our Three-Layer 18K Gold-Plating Process ✨
At Sunset Radiance Jewelry, we take gold-plating to the next level with our expert three-layer process. We use advanced vacuum ion plating (PVD) technology to ensure long-lasting durability, a rich gold finish, and a hypoallergenic experience—setting us apart from conventional gold-plated jewelry.
The Three-Layer Process: A Science of Perfection
| Layer | Description |
|---|---|
| Layer 1 – Titanium Bonding | Forms a secure base for superior adhesion. |
| Layer 2 – Reinforcement Coating | Increases resistance to scratches and wear. |
| Layer 3 – 18K Gold Vacuum Plating | Provides a luxurious, lasting shine. |
Why We Use 316L Stainless Steel
316L Stainless Steel is a premium-grade metal known for its corrosion resistance, strength, and hypoallergenic properties. Unlike lower-quality metals, it does not tarnish or turn green and ensures that every piece of jewelry remains stunning over time.
Why Gold-Plating Needs Titanium
Gold cannot directly adhere to stainless steel, so we apply a titanium bonding layer before plating. This enhances durability and ensures a smooth, long-lasting gold finish.
The Gold-Plating Process: PVD Technology
We use Vacuum Ion Plating (PVD)—a high-tech process that creates an ultra-durable gold layer with a precise thickness.
✔ Heat-sealed in a vacuum furnace at thousands of degrees.
✔ Nickel-free, making it safe for sensitive skin.
✔ Resistant to tarnishing, fading, and water exposure.
How Durable is Our Gold-Plating?
We tested our jewelry for two weeks in salt water and found no tarnishing or discoloration. To further ensure quality, we conduct extensive wear testing, exposing our jewelry to daily activities, including swimming and sunbathing, to confirm its long-term durability.
