Ion Plating

Ion plating is a relatively modern technique in jewelry.  This process is used to apply a hardwearing and durable finish to stainless steel. 
Benefits of Ion Plating

• Five to eight times more durable than traditional methods.
• Less material is required for coating, lowering prices.
• Available in many colors such as black, rose gold and yellow gold.
• The finish can be highly polished or matte, and options in-between.
• Stainless steel offers a hardwearing, reliable base.

The coating material is applied in a very thin layer. Thanks to the bonding process that is utilized, less material is needed to coat the item.  Many color varieties are available. The most popular choices include yellow gold, rose gold and a black coating. Finishes can either be a glossy polish or matte finish.

Stainless steel is a hypo-allergenic and strong base. The finishes on Ion plated stainless steel are very durable and long lasting, making it ideal for easy-to-wear, demi-fine jewelry.
