Water-resistant jewelry
"Water-resistant jewelry" is jewelry that can withstand water in everyday life - such as hand washing and light rain - without changing expression quickly. It's all about the material and surface. Stainless steel and solid gold typically withstands water better than plated jewelry such as gold plated. In some cases, the following are also used PVD treatment (Physical Vapor Deposition), where a very thin, hard coating "bonds" to the surface and can provide better wear resistance than traditional coating - but it's still a surface that can eventually wear out depending on use. Jewelry with stones, beads or glue should generally be kept dry.
Gold plated sterling silver 925
Gold plated sterling silver 925 is real sterling silver (92.5% silver) with a thin layer of gold on the surface, which gives a warm gold colored look. Gold plating is typically done with gold in approximately 18-22 carats, and the color can therefore vary in tone. As the coating is a surface, the finish is best maintained with gentle use and proper care.
Silver Sterling 925
Sterling silver 925 is one of the most used materials for jewelry. "925" means that the jewelry consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, which makes it more robust for everyday wear. It gives a classic silver look that's easy to style, and with simple care, the jewelry can stay beautiful for a long time.
Moonstone - colors, cuts and jewelry care
Moonstone is an elegant gem known for its soft, “moon-like” glow—often seen as a luminous sheen moving across the surface when the stone catches the light. It typically appears in white, cream, and pale grey tones, but it can also show a bluish flash or warm peachy hues. Moonstone is usually slightly translucent to opaque and may contain natural veils that create a dreamy look. It is widely used in jewellery to create a feminine, timeless style—especially in gold and silver. Moonstone benefits from gentle care, as it can be more sensitive to knocks and scratches.
