GOLD VERMEIL / STERLING SILVER
14k Gold Vermeil jewelry combines elegance and affordability, featuring a thick layer of 14-karat gold over sterling silver. This blend offers the lustrous appeal of pure gold with the durability of silver, perfect for everyday wear and those with sensitive skin.
Gold vermeil jewelry, though more resilient than traditional gold plating, still benefits greatly from proper care to extend its lifespan. To keep your gold vermeil in top condition, steer clear of chemicals and moisture, use a soft cloth for gentle cleaning, store it in a dry place away from other items, and put it on only after you've applied cosmetics.
18k PVD GOLD / STAINLESS STEEL
18k PVD gold plating over stainless steel combines the luxurious look of 18-karat gold with the durability and hypoallergenic properties of stainless steel. The Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process ensures a uniform and hard layer of gold, providing a rich color and increased resistance to wear and tarnish. This method makes the jewelry both appealing for its gold appearance and suitable for those with sensitivities to certain metals, thanks to the hypoallergenic nature of stainless steel.
PVD GOLD / IMPLANT GRADE TITAINUM
PVD gold over implant grade titanium is a popular choice for piercing jewelry, offering a hypoallergenic and durable solution. It blends the luxury of gold with the body-safe benefits of titanium, ideal for sensitive skin and minimizing allergic reactions. This method is especially suitable for those looking for long-lasting, quality piercing jewelry with an elegant gold appearance.
FLAT BACK STUDS
Reversible flat back threadless studs are versatile and innovative earrings designed for both style and comfort. These earrings feature a unique design where both the flat back and the decorative front piece can be interchanged, allowing you to reverse the look.
The key feature is the flat, disc-like back that sits comfortably against the skin, minimizing irritation, which is particularly beneficial for cartilage piercings. The threadless design ensures ease of switching styles without removing the entire stud from the piercing. Made from hypoallergenic materials like titanium or gold, these reversible studs are suitable for sensitive skin, offering a secure and comfortable fit.
