The forge x noir standard
At Forge x Noir, we believe in functionality. That is why we chose materials and finishes built to last for years, not months.
All of our Pendants and chains are made from 316L surgical grade stainless steel, selected for its strength, corrosion resistance, and everyday reliability. We pair that foundation with PVD coating, an advanced process that bonds the gold finish at a molecular level for a harder, more wear resistant surface than traditional plating. The result is a finish engineered to hold up to daily wear without the constant worry of fading or tarnishing.
We also hold the line on coating thickness. Our PVD layer is 1.5 microns, while many competitors typically sit around 0.3 to 0.5 microns. That difference matters! A Thicker, consistent finish helps deliver crisp engraving lines, stronger contrast, and a result that stays sharp in real world use. Whether you’re training, working, or living life at full speed.
