The handcrafted “antique gold” finish by JÖRGER Design is more than just a surface – it is a true expression of passion and exclusive craftsmanship. Each fitting is first coated with fine 24-carat gold and then refined in a second galvanic process using silver components. This results in a distinctive, slightly bluish hue across the entire product.
Through careful manual polishing, the raised surfaces are gently polished to reveal the 24-carat gold layer once more. In the recesses of the fine grooves, however, the fascinating bluish shimmer is preserved. Each product becomes a one-of-a-kind piece. This unique interplay of color gives the surface its unmistakable depth and elegance.
Like a fine wine, the “Antique Gold” finish reveals its true beauty and intention over time. It is a fascinating, vibrant surface with visually dynamic effects. As the silver layer gradually oxidizes through contact with air, it matures and develops antique, rich nuances in an elegant patina – perfectly in line with the collection’s aesthetic.
“Antique Gold” is deliberately used only on models with textured recesses – namely, the timeless APHRODITE, CRONOS, and CRONOS CRYSTAL series. The bluish shine is especially striking in the finely crafted details with delicate grooves. Please note: this effect cannot be achieved on smooth surfaces.
The Art of Preservation – Important Care Instructions
To maintain the exclusive beauty of the “Antique Gold” finish over time, gentle care is essential. The surface should only be cleaned with neutral soap and water. Pat it dry with soft cloths – do not rub. Avoid aggressive cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the delicate structure.
Please note: The blue shimmer of the Antique Gold finish will naturally give way to a darker patina over time. Reprocessing is not possible – this transformation makes your fitting a unique, living testament to exclusive craftsmanship.
