Constellation hoops are made of stainless steel base and they are 18k gold PVD plated (more info about the type of plating see below).
Size of these earrings is 26mmx26mm, and bead size is 4mm. They are medium size hoops, suitable for every day wear and will lift up any outfit with special celestial charm. Little beads are glowing like stars of Constellations.
My goal is to offer only high quality materials that have been tested prior to decision of selling them, because my priority is customer satisfaction and value for the investment. I am here for any questions or inquires you may have.

>> What is PVD Gold Plating? <<
PVD gold plating is a process that uses a vacuum chamber to deposit a thin layer of gold onto a base metal. The gold is vaporized and then deposited onto the metal surface, creating a durable and long-lasting finish.
Advantages of PVD Gold Plating
1. Durability: PVD gold plating is more resistant to scratches and wear than traditional gold plating methods.
2. Corrosion resistance: PVD gold plating is more resistant to corrosion from sweat and regular wear.
3. Hypoallergenic: PVD coated stainless steel jewelry is generally safe for those with sensitive skin, as it doesn’t contain nickel or other allergens.
4. Affordability: PVD gold plating is often more cost-effective than solid gold or vermeil options.
Comparison to Other Gold Plating Methods
1. Gold plating: Traditional gold plating involves electroplating a thin layer of gold onto a base metal. This method is less durable and more prone to wear and tear.
2. Vermeil: Vermeil is a process that involves layering a thick layer of gold over a base metal. This method is more expensive than PVD gold plating but offers a more luxurious appearance.
Conclusion
PVD gold plating is a popular choice for jewelry and decorative items due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and affordability. While it may not have the same luxurious appearance as solid gold or vermeil, it’s a great option for those looking for a high-quality, long-lasting finish.
