PVD Gold Piercing: A Safe and Durable Option for Your Jewelry

Gold Piercing

Gold piercings remain a popular choice for their timeless elegance, but many wonder about the safety and durability of this material when used for piercing jewelry . In this article, we explore why gold remains a popular option, what types of gold are available for piercings, and why PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) gold is a safe and durable choice.

Why is gold a popular choice for piercings?

Gold has been a symbol of elegance and sophistication for centuries. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, it is also associated with high durability and resistance to oxidation. Wearing a gold piercing is a way to combine personal style with lasting quality. Gold brings a subtle and timeless shine, making it a favorite choice for those looking for jewelry to wear daily without compromising their style.

Types of gold for piercings: solid gold, plated, and gold PVD

Choosing gold for a piercing is not limited to solid gold. There are different options depending on budget and durability preferences. Here are the main options:

  • Solid Gold : Solid gold is extremely durable and non-reactive, but it is also very expensive. Its natural softness makes it vulnerable to scratches, especially in high purities like 24 karat.
  • Gold Plated : Gold plated is a thin layer of gold applied over a base metal such as copper or brass. Although less expensive, this type of jewelry wears off quickly, exposing the underlying base metal and increasing the risk of skin reaction.
  • Gold PVD : Gold PVD is obtained by a physical vapor deposition process, which fixes a layer of gold on a hypoallergenic metal, such as titanium or surgical steel. This technique allows for excellent adhesion, making the jewelry extremely resistant to wear and scratches while retaining the shine of the gold.

The Benefits of PVD Gold for Piercings

PVD gold combines the benefits of gold with the durability and safety of titanium or surgical steel. Here are the specific advantages of PVD gold:

  • Wear resistance : Unlike plated gold, PVD gold does not flake and is scratch resistant. This process makes the jewelry resistant to friction and humidity, which is ideal for daily wear.
  • Hypoallergenic : Gold PVD is applied to hypoallergenic metals, such as titanium. This means that it is safe for sensitive skin and significantly reduces the risk of allergic reactions. This feature is crucial for piercings, where the skin remains in constant contact with the jewelry.
  • Durability : In terms of longevity, gold PVD is a reliable option. This type of jewelry retains its golden shine much longer than plated jewelry, while remaining affordable compared to solid gold.

Is this a safe option for a piercing?

PVD gold is considered a very safe option for piercings. Unlike gold plated jewelry, which can degrade over time, gold PVD is resistant to external aggressions and maintains its hypoallergenic properties. This application method prevents discoloration and tarnishing, even in the presence of sweat or humidity, which is essential for piercings, which are often exposed to these conditions.

To prolong the life of a gold PVD jewel , it is advisable to clean it regularly with a saline solution and to avoid any contact with chemical products, such as perfumes or creams containing alcohol.

Comparison: PVD gold vs other materials for piercings

Here’s how gold PVD compares to other popular piercing materials:

  • Gold PVD vs Titanium : Titanium is hypoallergenic and lightweight, as is gold PVD. However, for those who want a gold finish without the drawbacks of solid gold, gold PVD is ideal.
  • Gold PVD vs Surgical Steel : Surgical steel is safe for piercings, but it lacks the shine and sophistication of gold. Gold PVD maintains the look of gold while being more affordable and durable than solid gold.
  • Gold PVD vs. Gold Plated : Gold plated is cheaper but not as durable. Gold PVD is superior in terms of wear resistance and safety, ensuring a durable piercing jewelry without the risk of allergy.

Conclusion

In conclusion, gold PVD is a safe and durable option for those looking for the look of gold without its drawbacks. Hypoallergenic, wear-resistant and ideal for sensitive skin, gold PVD is a high-quality alternative for piercing enthusiasts. Thanks to its durability, it is perfect for jewelry that you want to keep beautiful and intact for a long time.

For a piercing that combines style and safety, gold PVD offers an excellent alternative, without compromising the golden aesthetic.
