These multi‑component earrings are made from strong stainless steel and coated with a special gold or silver colour. The golden look is created by a process called ion plating (IP) or PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition). This method bonds a thin layer of gold‑coloured material onto the stainless steel surface, making it very hard‑wearing and shiny. The result is jewellery that looks like real gold, but keeps the strength, rust resistance, and affordability of stainless steel. Perfect for everyday wear and gentle on sensitive skin!
