Tarnish-Resistant Jewelry | Jewelry That Stays Gold | PRYSM Canada
Jewelry that looks the same a year from now as it does today. PRYSM's tarnish-resistant pieces are made from stainless steel with 14k gold PVD coating — a molecular bond that does not fade, peel, or discolor over time, even with daily wear in water and sweat.
No maintenance, no polishing, no taking it off before the pool. Made in Canada, 2-year warranty.
Why Jewelry Tarnishes — and Why Ours Does Not
Tarnishing happens when base metals (copper, brass, silver) oxidize when exposed to air, moisture, and skin oils. Gold-plated jewelry tarnishes when the thin gold layer wears off, exposing the base metal underneath. PVD-coated stainless steel eliminates this problem: the stainless steel core does not oxidize, and the PVD layer does not wear off.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this jewelry stay gold after a few months? Yes. PVD plating on stainless steel is rated to maintain appearance for years, even with daily wear in water.
Do I need to take it off before swimming or showering? No. PRYSM's stainless steel jewelry is waterproof. Leave it on.
How is PVD different from regular gold plating? Regular electroplating deposits a thin layer of gold that wears off within months. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) creates a molecular bond 5-10x thicker and more durable.
