Our jewelry is made of stainless steel, sterling silver or gold filled, three materials that are waterproof tarnish free. To learn more about the quality of our products, visit our Our materials page.

For jewelry with freshwater pearls or cubic zirconia, it is best to remove them before going in the water to avoid damaging them.

All our jewelry made of stainless steel or gold filled leaves no trace on the skin! The black or greenish marks on the skin are caused when the material that makes up the jewelry oxidizes. Stainless steel, as its name suggests, does not oxidize. So there's no way your fingers or neck will turn green with our jewelry made of this material. Jewelry made of gold filled has a very thick layer of gold on its surface, it's like wearing jewelry made of solid gold.

Our sterling silver jewelry may oxidize slightly over time due to the fact that pure silver must be combined with copper to form an alloy strong enough for jewelry making. This means that wearing sterling silver jewelry can potentially leave a surface mark on the skin. However, these marks are easily removed with warm water and a mild soap.

Our jewelry made of stainless steel will never tarnish since it does not oxidize. They are coated with a real layer of gold using the PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) process which forms a strong bond between the gold and the stainless steel. This method is known to give jewelry better durability than electroplating ( gold plating ). Nevertheless, it is possible that the gold coating fades in some places over time.

Gold filled comes very close to solid gold. Indeed, its gold layer is up to 100 times thicker than gold-plated jewelry. Our gold filled jewelry will therefore never tarnish, no matter how much you use it.

Pure silver must be combined with copper to form sterling silver, an alloy strong enough for jewelry making. Due to this combination, it is not impossible for dark spots to appear on these jewels over time. However, it is easy to restore them to their natural luster with a simple cleaning!

Yes! Our jewels are an excellent choice for people with sensitive skin since they do not contain nickel, the metal causing the most allergic reaction.

All sterling silver jewelry, although considered skin safe since it does not contain nickel, is made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. So it might not be suitable for the most sensitive skin.

Gold-plated jewelry is usually made of brass and covered with a thin layer of gold applied by electrolysis. This coating method forms a very weak adhesion between the gold and the base material of the jewel, which causes the gold layer to degrade quickly. In addition, the jewelry which brass is used as the base material rusts easily, so it will blacken and be harmful to the skin.

The process we use to coat our jewelry with gold is the most modern and is the one that forms the strongest bond between the gold layer and the base material of the jewelry. Our jewels therefore remain shiny for much longer! We also only use stainless steel as the base material for our PVD gold jewelry making it tarnish resistant, water resistant and skin safe.

We only offer you jewelry at the best price-performance ratio. When buying gold-plated jewelry on sterling silver, you usually pay more for a lower quality than stainless steel.

Although sterling silver is higher quality than other base materials (such as brass), it will eventually oxidize and tarnish naturally. It will be difficult afterwards to remove the traces of tarnish with simple cleaning as one would for a sterling silver jewel not plated with gold. The reason is that cleaning with a polishing cloth may damage the gold plating, making the piece of jewelry even less beautiful.
