- Annotation: The paper analyzes the application of colored conversion coatings on the surface of jewelry and artistic items made of silver, copper, titanium, niobium, aluminum, and steel alloys. Various methods of forming such coatings are considered. A classification of conversion coatings is proposed, dividing them into two main groups: retro coatings that have been used for a long time and modern coatings. The high design potential of using conversion coatings in the manufacture of jewelry and art products; high competitive advantages of conversion coatings in comparison with other colored decorative coatings of the surface of metals and alloys; the need for careful compliance with technological modes of formation of coatings to obtain the necessary artistic result.
- Keywords: conversion coatings, jewelry and art products, design of jewelry and art products, colored coatings, conversion coatings on copper, silver, titanium, niobium, aluminum, and steel alloys, technology for forming conversion coatings, classification of conversion coatings
