✨ What Is Gold PVD Jewelry?
PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition—a super durable coating that binds gold to stainless steel. Unlike traditional gold plating, PVD jewelry is designed to resist fading, tarnish, and wear.
🧼 How to Clean Gold PVD Jewelry
Cleaning PVD-coated jewelry is super simple:
🧽 Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away oils and buildup after each wear.
💧 Rinse gently with warm water and mild soap if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
🌬️ Dry completely with a soft cloth before storing.
📦 Store in your LRJ pouch to avoid scratches or dust when not in use.
❌ What to Avoid
🚫 No alcohol-based cleaners
🚫 No ultrasonic machines
🚫 No abrasive cloths or scrubbing pads
💛 Your PVD Jewelry Deserves Love
Just a quick wipe or rinse now and then keeps your pieces shining bright. These are designed to last—but a little care goes a long way.
