Materials

Alloy

Composition of steel with other materials. Very resistant to corrosion, so they can be worn daily without danger of deterioration. It is more durable than silver and gold. It is hypoallergenic. It can be wiped with a soft, clean cloth to remove dirt, dust or grease. Avoid using chemical cleaners, perfumes, lotions... Although these materials are waterproof, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to water or humidity. Remove jewelry before bathing or swimming. Store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent rust and wear.

Stainless steel

Resistant to corrosion and fading, it only requires minimal maintenance. It is an excellent option for those who are allergic to certain metals or who prefer to avoid wearing silver or gold. It can get wet, but do not expose it to chemicals or perfumes. To keep it clean, simply wipe it with a soft, clean cloth. Store your pieces away from direct sunlight and other jewelry to prevent scuffs or scratches.

Polymer clay

Very versatile material that is characterized by its moldability and lightness. It is very creative and is highly appreciated by designers and artists for its ability to create designs with unique and artistic pieces. It is not recommended to expose it to water or humidity; Take it off before bathing or swimming. It can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid contact with chemicals, as it can cause it to lose its shine. Store away from sunlight to prevent discoloration and excessive hardening of the material. Store where it will not rub against other hard jewelry or rough surfaces to prevent scratches and damage. Protect from high temperatures, as it may warp or melt.

Abs

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, called Abs, is a type of strong, durable plastic that is often used in the manufacture of beads and components for jewelry and accessories. This material is appreciated for its versatility and ability to imitate various textures and finishes.

Silver

It usually has a characteristic metallic shine that can range from a polished finish to an aged look, depending on the design. It is very versatile and can be combined with a wide variety of materials. It is hypoallergenic. It needs regular care to maintain its shine. It may darken over time due to oxidation, but can be easily cleaned and polished.

Gold in jewelry

Precious metal used to create jewelry. It is one of the most valued and appreciated metals in jewelry manufacturing due to its beauty, durability and characteristic shine. There are several colors that are achieved by combining gold with different metals. Resists corrosion and oxidation; however, they may become scratched over time due to wear and tear. Wipe it with a soft, clean cloth, and if necessary, you can use warm water with a drop of mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Gold in jewelry

Generally, we are referring to a material that imitates the look of gold but does not contain genuine gold. It is made to achieve a similar appearance but at a much more affordable price. There are several materials to imitate it:
Gold plating or gold plating: A thin layer of real gold is applied to another material, such as metal or plastic. It gives it a golden shine, but over time, the gold layer can wear away, revealing the underlying material.
Rolled Gold: In this process, a thicker layer of gold is bonded to a base material, usually using heat and pressure. This provides greater durability compared to gold plating or plating.
Metal alloys: Some jewelry uses metal alloys that imitate the color and shine of gold, such as “rose gold” or “yellow gold.” These alloys may not contain gold at all, but are designed to imitate its appearance.
Avoid wearing your pieces when bathing, swimming, or doing activities that expose them to water or humidity. Chemicals, perfumes and lotions also damage them. Wipe with a soft, clean cloth and do not scrub excessively as this can wear down the plating more quickly.
