| Abstract | ||||
| Jewelry is one of the products that depend on the aesthetic aspect and to increase the aesthetic values. There are many ways to give it a shiny appearance and bright colors, but it has a high cost. Physical vapor deposition is one of the methods that increase aesthetic values as it adds many colors to the surface of the product and is similar to precious metals. Where the research problem lies in the possibility of using different coatings from alternatives to precious ores in the production of imitation jewelry and verifying its suitability to give quality qualities of color and luster and the goal of the research is to find alternatives to plating metals with the same degree of luster of precious metals, coating imitation jewelry with a low-cost coating with aesthetic values And constant bright colors, and upgrading the Egyptian counterfeit jewelry industry to enable it to compete with its expatriate counterparts. The importance of the research lies in the production of multiple layers of paint with multiple colors and a long-life span, and finding economical ways to paint imitation jewelry to raise the competitiveness of the Egyptian product. The research assumes that coating imitation jewelry with similar layers of precious metals has bright colors, lower economic cost and longer life span. The research follows a descriptive and analytical approach. One of the most important results of the research is to obtain the colors of precious metals For jewelers. | ||||
