DarkBond

The black intermediate layer that ensures superior resistance and durability for high-end dark finishes

DarkBond is an innovative electroplating process developed by Legor to serve as a gunmetal-colored intermediate layer, applied on the base metal before the final black finish selected by the customer. It acts as a protective barrier against oxidation and tarnishing – common issues in jewelry applications.

DarkBond enhances abrasion resistance by 2–3 times compared to standard finishes, ensuring a long-lasting and durable final result.

The deposit features a distinctive L 60 tone, giving the jewelry a deep and elegant appearance.

DarkBond: the ideal solution for the world of high-end jewelry and luxury, allowing you to avoid the use of e-coating, which is not recommended in combination with premium precious metal designs.
