18K ION Gold Plating â Lasting Warmth on 316L Steel
DNSK Copenhagen gold jewellery is finished with 18K ION plating â a Physical Vapor Deposition process that bonds gold directly onto 316L stainless steel with far greater force than standard gold plating. The result is a harder, more wear-resistant finish that holds its warmth through daily wear, water, and time.
Why ION Plating Lasts Longer
Standard gold plating sits on the surface and wears away with friction and moisture. ION plating bonds at a molecular level â the gold becomes part of the surface rather than sitting on top of it. Combined with a 316L steel base that cannot tarnish or corrode, the gold finish has nothing working against it from underneath. The warmth stays.

FAQ
Will DNSK gold jewellery fade or tarnish?
No â DNSK gold jewellery is finished with 18K ION plating, which bonds directly onto 316L stainless steel at a molecular level. The steel base cannot tarnish, so nothing works against the gold from underneath. The finish holds through daily wear, water, and time.
What is ION plating?
ION plating (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a process that bonds gold onto the steel surface with far greater force than standard gold plating. The result is a harder, more wear-resistant finish that lasts significantly longer than conventional plating methods.
Is DNSK gold jewellery waterproof?
Yes â the 316L stainless steel base is fully waterproof and corrosion-resistant. The ION gold finish is bonded directly onto this base, so the jewellery holds its finish through showers, swimming, sweat, and daily wear.
