Silver JewelryMATERIALS & CARE
Stainless steel isn’t likely to get scratched, corrode, or tarnish but it may become dull after
some time. If you want your jewelry to maintain its new look, you should care for it properly.
Here’s how you can do it:
METHOD 1: SOAP AND WATER
Soap and water are excellent for removing debris and excess oils. Avoid oversaturating the
jewelry in water because this will ruin it.
1. Place your stainless steel jewelry in a large bowl with warm water. Add three drops of
mild soap.
2. With a soft and non-abrasive cloth, gently scrub your jewelry, following the grain and with
gentle strokes.
3. To get rid of any excess dirt or grime, use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush).
4. Rinse off dirt and soap with clean water and dry your jewelry with a soft cloth.
METHOD 2: MICROFIBER CLOTH
Soap and water can leave behind marks on stainless steel jewelry if you don’t rinse it properly. To
clean your jewelry quickly, a microfiber cloth and some elbow grease go a long way.
- With a soft microfiber cloth, gently rub your jewelry along the grain to get rid of debris and dust.
- For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth for more cleaning power
Although stainless steel is difficult to scratch, you should rub the microfiber cloth in the direction of its
grain to avoid agitating small particles that could cause micro-abrasions to your jewelry.
18K PVD JEWELRY
PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition, and is a vacuum coating process of gold that produces a brilliant
decorative and functional finish to the base metal. PVD utilizes a titanium nitride that provides an extremely durable
finish.
PVD coatings are more resistant to corrosion from sweat and regular wear than gold plating. It’s a great choice for
people who never take their jewellery off, as it is extremely vibrant and durable for many years.
Even big, luxury brands use this process, like Rolex and Cartier. Seriously, Google it! If it’s good enough for Rolex,
it’s good enough for RAW TRIBE JEWELRY!
RAW TRIBE JEWELRY USES THE BEST KIND! SURGICAL GRADE 316 STAINLESS STEEL.
IT DOESN’T RUST
Stainless steel jewelry won’t rust as long as the protective layer of chromium on it is maintained. It
also doesn’t oxidize like bronze or brass so it won’t change color over time.
IT DOESN’T GET SCRATCHED EASILY
Stainless steel jewelry doesn’t get scratched or damaged easily like other metals. It also doesn’t need
to be polished or buffed as often as silver, gold, and platinum.
IT IS HYPOALLERGENIC
Being hypoallergenic means that it is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. It doesn’t affect the body
or cause any adverse effects on the skin.
IT IS RECYCLABLE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Stainless steel jewelry is infinitely recyclable with an almost 100% recovery rate. If it comes in contact
with other elements, it remains environmentally inert and neutral without absorbing compounds that
could alter its composition.
Because of this, stainless steel jewelry is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to make more
sustainable choices.
STAINLESS STEEL IS COMPLETELY SAFE
Stainless steel is also biocompatible, so stainless steel has no biological or chemical effects on the
body. It doesn’t leach into your blood, cause any adverse effects, and won’t interfere with any
medications or medical procedures
Gold Plated vs. Gold Vermeil vs. Gold PVD Coated Jewelry: Which One Should You Choose?
When it comes to gold jewelry, you have several options to choose from: gold plated, gold vermeil,and gold PVD coated jewelry. Understanding the differences between these three types of gold jewelry can help you make an informed decision when shopping for that perfect piece. In this blog, we will explore these differences and explain why PVD coated jewelry, like the pieces offered by Memory Created, is the best choice for affordability, durability, and versatility – perfect for summer days and beach outings.
- Gold Plated Jewelry: A Thin Layer of Gold
Gold plated jewelry is made by applying a thin layer of gold over a base metal, usually brass or copper. While gold plated jewelry is affordable and has the appearance of real gold, it has a few downsides:
- Durability: The thin gold layer can wear off or tarnish over time, especially with daily wear or exposure to chemicals.
- Allergies: Gold plated jewelry often contains nickel or other allergens in the base metal, which can cause skin reactions for some individuals.
- Gold Vermeil Jewelry: A Step Up in Quality
Gold vermeil jewelry is similar to gold plated jewelry, but with a few key differences:
- Base Metal: Gold vermeil is made by applying a thicker layer of gold over sterling silver, rather than brass or copper.
- Thickness: The gold layer in gold vermeil is usually thicker than in gold plated jewelry, providing a higher quality and longer-lasting finish.
- Price: Gold vermeil jewelry is typically more expensive than gold plated jewelry due to the use of sterling silver and a thicker gold layer.
While gold vermeil offers an improvement in quality and durability compared to gold plated jewelry, it can still wear off or tarnish over time.
- Gold PVD Coated Jewelry: The Ultimate Choice for Durability and Affordability
Gold PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coated jewelry is created by applying a thin layer of gold onto a base metal, such as stainless steel, using a high-tech vacuum process. This results in a superior finish with numerous benefits:
- Durability: PVD coated jewelry is more resistant to scratches, wear, and tarnishing than gold plated or gold vermeil jewelry.
- Hypoallergenic: PVD coated stainless steel jewelry is generally safe for those with sensitive skin, as it doesn’t contain nickel or other allergens.
- Affordability: PVD coated jewelry offers the look and feel of solid gold without the hefty price tag.
