What is PVD plating?Updated an hour ago

PVD stands for physical vapor deposition. It is the process used to apply the plated finish to our stainless steel jewelry.

At The Faith, our jewelry is crafted from 304 stainless steel with two finishes:

  • Gold: 14k gold PVD plating.

  • White gold: White gold PVD plating.

Each piece has a stainless steel core with a plated surface finish. You’ll find the finish and other materials listed on its product page.

Our jewelry is water resistant and tarnish resistant, and a little care helps preserve its beauty. Remove your pieces before swimming, showering or exercising, avoid harsh chemicals, and store them separately in a cool, dry place.
