What is PVD Coating? A guide on how SignetSoul pieces are made.

Why are SignetSoul pieces more durable water-resistant and tarnish-resistant than other jewellery brands?

It's because of a process called PVD coating.

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) Coating is a technique used to deposit films of metal onto various surfaces. In this process, a metal is vaporised in a vacuum and then deposited onto the surface of a piece.

Unlike simple metal layers, PVD coatings involve compound materials that are deposited atom by atom, resulting in a thin, bonded metal surface layer. This layer is significantly harder and more durable than other coatings, and enhances the appearance and function of the product.

PVD coatings are utilised in various applications, including high-wear metal surfaces, automotive parts, home hardware, medical devices, and, of course, jewellery!

At SignetSoul, our jewellery is produced using PVD coating on top of a stainless steel base. Developed by scientists, this process yields a superior finish compared to other jewellery production methods.

The advantages of PVD coating include:

  • Increased durability
  • Improved appearance
  • Reduced waste (as it generates no hazardous waste)
  • Enhanced wear resistance
  • Superior hardness

This is why our collections here at SignetSoul are made with durable finish that is water-resistant, tarnish-resistant and anti-allergen, making it much easier to care for your jewellery.

Perfect for everyday wear, as a gift for a special someone or a piece for your next holiday escape ✨
