shine-and-last

At Ekava, we curate premium demi-fine jewellery that combines the timeless look of gold and silver with modern durability. Our collections are designed for those who love bold, statement jewellery that looks luxurious while remaining strong enough for everyday life.

Every Ekava piece is crafted using 18K gold plated jewellery technology over stainless steel, making it a perfect balance between beauty and strength. The result is durable fashion jewellery that resists fading, tarnishing, and daily wear.

We use advanced Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating, a superior technology that makes our jewellery long lasting, sweat proof, and waterproof. Unlike traditional plating, PVD creates a stronger bond between the gold layer and the metal surface, ensuring your jewellery maintains its shine for longer.

Our Durable Gold Finish: PVD Coating

What is Gold Plating?
Gold plating is a process where a thin layer of gold is bonded to a base metal. The thickness of this layer, measured in microns, determines how long the piece will last.

  • Flash Plating (Lowest Quality): Gold layer is very thin (0.5 microns) and tarnishes quickly—often after only a few wears.
  • Traditional Gold Plating (Better Quality): The gold layer is at least 0.5 microns. This lasts longer than flash plating but will eventually tarnish with regular use.

The Superior Choice: PVD Gold Coating

We use Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), an advanced vacuum coating method that provides a far more durable and beautiful gold finish than traditional plating. We generally use 18K gold PVD coating over a Stainless-Steel base for all our jewelry.

Why PVD is Better
PVD coating creates a gold film that has a higher binding force, hardness, and wear resistance than traditional gold plating. It's essentially a premium, long-life upgrade.

PVD Coating Advantage

Benefit to You

Superior Thickness

Our PVD layer is 1 to 5 microns - up to 10x thicker than a regular gold plating.

Exceptional Durability

Made to Last: 100% Waterproof, Hypoallergenic & Skin Safe.
We choose stainless steel as our base metal because it's one of the most durable materials available, naturally resisting water, tarnish, and corrosion. This means you can wear our pieces daily without them ever turning green or dark. To lock in the color and enhance their resistance, we use PVD Gold Plating. Beyond durability, your safety is key: our jewelry is 100% waterproof, hypoallergenic, and guaranteed free of nickel, lead, and cadmium, making it comfortable and gentle even for the most sensitive skin.
