Fitzly DIfference
The Fitzly Difference
Not all gold plating is created equal.
Fitzly earrings pair medical-grade stainless steel with an 18K gold PVD finish — chosen for lasting shine, everyday durability, and sensitive ears.
What Fitzly Uses
18K Gold PVD Plating
PVD, or Physical Vapor Deposition, uses a vacuum-based process to create a highly adherent finish over stainless steel.
Made for everyday wear
Excellent resistance to normal wear and friction.
Long-lasting shine
Designed to maintain its beautiful finish over time.
Water & tarnish resistant
Made to handle the everyday moments Fitzly was designed for.
The Traditional Method
Electroplating
Traditional electroplating uses electrical current to deposit a layer of metal onto the surface of jewelry.
Plating can be thinner
Durability varies considerably by thickness and quality.
May wear more quickly
Friction and moisture can gradually wear away thin plating.
Quality varies
The words “gold plated” alone don't tell the full story.
18K Gold PVD
Beautiful, lasting finish
Medical-Grade Stainless Steel
A thoughtful foundation
Water Resistant
Made for everyday moments
Tarnish Resistant
Designed to keep its shine
Why It Matters
Sensitive ears deserve thoughtful materials.
The finish is only part of the story. Fitzly considers the complete earring — from the stainless-steel foundation and PVD finish to the post and secure screw back — because earrings should feel as good as they look.
Individual sensitivities vary. Jewelry performance can depend on
materials, coating thickness, exposure and care.
