My Jewelry - Materials & Care Guide

I understand the importance of investing in jewelry that not only looks beautiful but also stands the test of time. That's why I am proud to offer high-quality pieces that are built to last. 

316L Stainless Steel

All of my jewelry is made out of 316L stainless steel. Stainless steel is highly durable and resistant to tarnish, corrosion, and rust. Stainless steel is hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive skin or metal allergies. 

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) Coating

PVD coating is an advanced method that molecularly bonds the gold to the base metal, thereby creating a stronger bond than regular electroplating. 

By incorporating gold plating, you get the best of both worlds—stainless steel’s strength and gold’s beauty. 

How to properly care for your jewelry

While my jewelry is perfect for everyday wear and won't turn your skin green, it is not solid gold, therefore the gold may fade over a prolonged period of time, especially if not cared for properly. To keep it shiny and new, I recommend the following: 

Maintain

• Store it properly: When you're not wearing your jewelry, keep it in a soft jewelry pouch or jewelry box to protect it.
• Avoid contact with harsh chemicals: To prevent damage to your jewelry, you should avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, such as chlorine or bleach. These chemicals can cause the gold coating to fade over time. 
• To ensure the longevity of your jewelry, you should also limit contact with cosmetics, perfumes & body products such as lotions (those products will contribute to fading the plating faster). 

Clean

• Be sure to regularly clean your jewelry by wiping it down with a soft cloth (or a mild soap solution), especially before taking it off and storing it. This will remove any build-up that could potentially cause damage over time. You can use the small fabric that was included in your delivery. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface of the metal and the coating.
• Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners, as they can damage certain types of gemstones that may be set in the stainless steel.
