U.S. Navy Pendant in Yellow Gold

Real 18K Gold

Crafted with real 18K gold and engineered for durability, this piece features our proprietary PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) gold plating, the most advanced and long-lasting gold coating method used in modern jewelry. While some brands use terms like "gold bonded," this typically refers to traditional plating methods with lower gold content and weaker adhesion. GLD's PVD process goes further, using higher gold density and a molecular bonding process that creates a significantly stronger, longer-lasting finish. Our PVD process is trusted in industries like aerospace and high-performance engineering for its ability to create coatings that are:

•     Waterproof and sweat-resistant

•     Scratch-resistant

•     Built for long-term daily wear

PVD gold plating lasts significantly longer than traditional gold plating and most "gold bonded" jewelry due to its stronger molecular bonding and thicker gold layer.
