Oris-Black-PVD-coating A technical guide for jewelry manufacturers, designers, and coating professionals, covering coating systems, process variables, sputter target selection, and realistic performance expectations. Black PVD coating on jewelry is no longer a niche topic. Watch straps, rings, chains. The deep, matte-black surface has become one of the most sought-after finishes in contemporary jewelry design. Yet behind the term “black PVD coating” lies a demanding vacuum process that very...

Two distinct physical mechanisms create colour in PVD coatings. Misidentifying which one is active in your process will send you chasing the

Why advanced technology doesn’t automatically mean simple application Dark brown colour developed by AVALUXE People often underestimate the problems that can occur when using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coatings on metals. The process and resulting thin films are perceived as highly advanced and robust And they are. However, this apparent robustness leads to a dangerous misconception: the complexity of the process and the susceptibility to critical failures are systematically...
