Jewelry Materials & Durability
Is your jewelry waterproof?
Our pieces are not 100% waterproof. Only certain components are guaranteed to be tarnish-proof e.g. the ring bands. Our jewelry is crafted using a mix of tarnish-proof and tarnish-resistant materials.
- Ring Bands: Made from stainless steel, these are 100% tarnish-proof.
- Charms on rings & other elements (chains etc.): Typically made with 14k or 18k gold plating over durable base metals. These will tarnish over time, especially with exposure to water, sweat, or humidity.
- Protective Coating: All pieces are finished with three layers of clear coating to help slow oxidation and corrosion.
What materials do you use?
- 14k and 18k gold plating over durable jewelry-grade material. This is durable and tarnish-resistant, but not completely tarnish-proof.
What is the difference between tarnish-proof and tarnish-resistant?
Tarnish-proof jewelry will never tarnish or lose its color under any conditions. Tarnish-resistant jewelry is designed to slow down tarnishing but will still develop oxidation over time being exposed to elements like water, sweat, and humidity.
Our jewelry is a mix of tarnish-proof and tarnish-resistant as some components of a jewelry piece may be stainless steel (tarnish proof), and some components may be 14/18k gold plated (tarnish-resistant).
What materials are your dangle rings made of?
Our rings have a stainless steel base, which is 100% tarnish-proof. The charms on the rings are 14k and 18k gold-plated, which are not tarnish-proof.
