Materials and care

Our jewelry is made of bronze, surgical steel, natural pearls, semi-precious stones and cubic zirconia.

  • Bronze - Bronze is a very durable and hard metal. Our jewelry is made of raw golden bronze, which is very similar in color to 14k gold with a subtle rose gold touch. Since this is the primary color of the metal, you don't have to worry about it "peeling off" over time, as is the case with gold-plated jewelry. Bronze is naturally oxidized, similar to sterling silver. Due to its high copper content, bronze will oxidize over time, which can be easily solved by polishing the jewelry with a cotton cloth, which you will receive for free with every order. You can soak the jewelry in spring water and then polish it with a cloth and the bronze will regain its original color and shine. For some skin types, bronze may oxidize in the form of fine greenish spots on the skin. This can happen with rings, but is unlikely with pendants. This is a natural reaction of copper to the pH of the skin and sweat and is not harmful to health. This can be prevented by rubbing the jewelry with colorless nail polish in places where it comes into contact with the skin. We treat bronze jewelry with a transparent surface layer of Wax polish, which was developed directly by scientists at the British Museum. This way, oxidation occurs more slowly and you do not have to take care of the jewelry as often.

 

  • Electroplating is performed mainly on surgical steel and brass. The material is soaked in a gold solution, which creates a special coating on the material. The amount of gold used for gilding is about 0.05%. Electroplated jewelry retains its color and shine for a long time, but it is necessary to remove the jewelry before bathing. Only put on jewelry after applying creams/perfume and take it off during physical activity, when excessive sweating occurs.

 

  • Gold filled jewelry is jewelry that has 18k gold infused into the base metal. This is a thick layer of gold that is applied to the primary metal and is very resistant to water and sweat. Gold filled jewelry can be worn all the time, it is waterproof and hypoallergenic. In essence, it is a cheaper alternative to gold, where the gold layer on the jewelry remains for many years and at the same time you do not invest in raw gold, which is many times more expensive.

 


    ATTENTION!! All types of gold plating are only a surface treatment of the material, which is not permanent.
