Materials & Care
316L stainless steel
The stainless steel jewelry is made of iron, carbon and chrome. The stainless steel jewels are pieces of extraordinary quality and durability. Especially 316L stainless steel is known as surgical material. It is also a hypoallergenic material. It is resistant to corrosion, oxidation and heat.
As resistant as it is, there is one element that starts its corrosion: chlorine. And it’s present in the sea, pools and some detergent. That’s why it’s best to remove your jewel instead of exposing it to these environments.
To clean it, put some neutral soap in warm water and rub the piece gently with a soft toothbrush. Rinse, dry well and store in our packaging.
925 sterling silver
925 is an alloy between 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. This gives the silver more rigidity – otherwise it would be so soft that it would bend under normal use.
Silver turns black when it gets sulphated, that is, when it gets in contact with things that contain sulphur, such as jacuzzis, swimming pools, and cosmetics… The oils on our skin protect silver, so wear it a lot! And when you don’t, keep it in our box so it’s protected from airborne sulphur.
Sweat may contain some sulphur depending on your diet, although it’s less common.
To clean your jewelry from dirt, sweat or grease, put some neutral soap in warm water and rub the piece with a soft toothbrush. Then rinse the jewelry with water and dry it with a clean and soft cloth.
18k or 14k gold plating /
Vermeil(2.5microns)
Most of our stock-ups are in 18k/14k gold plating with 0.25 micron and e-coating. (e-coating is an anti-tarnish protection layer on top) Some custom pieces can be in 1 to 3 microns. Vermeil is a concept of more than 2.5 micron gold plating on 925 sterling silver. Either gold plating or vermeil doesn’t like sweat or water, so it’s better if you take it off when taking a shower or during exercise. That way, its color will last a long time.
To clean it, you can use a clean, soft cloth. And if it is still dirty, put some neutral soap in warm water and rub the piece gently with a soft toothbrush. Rinse, dry well and store in our packaging.
Coatings, unlike solid gold, don’t last forever. If you want us to bathe the jewel again or if you think it lost its color too soon, please contact us.
