What is stainless steel jewelry?

  • Stainless steel, an alloy of iron, carbon, chromium, and traces of other metals, is highly resistant to rust or corrosion. A phenomenon known as passivization makes the steel less reactive with its environment, preventing, and the oxidation reaction that occurs in iron. The chromium in the alloy forms a thin, invisible film of chromium oxide on the surface of the metal that protects iron oxide, or rust from forming. This passive film also prevents staining.​

What does 14k gold plated mean?

  • Gold – plated jewelry is created using an electro chemical process that places a layer of gold on copper, brass, or some other base metal. The thickness of the gold used in plating usually determines the price of the piece. It’s a good quality thin layer of gold applied to the metal jewelry. It is NOT real gold it requires special care to make it last longer.​

How does it last?

  • Depends on how often the item is worn and how thick the plating is. Most of our gold-plated chains are heavy gold- plated. Gold- Plated jewelry is much less expensive than Gold-filled; however, the gold color will eventually wear off as it comes into contact with the wearer’s skin salts or pollutants in the air.​
