  3. Stainless SteelStainless Steel

(1) 925 STERLING SILVER

  • "925 Sterling Silver" means that the metal contains at least 92.5% pure silver.
  • ​"925 sterling silver" itself is white silver, and the accessories normally sold are all treated by plating.
  • Electroplating is to plate a layer of metal on the metal surface, and the main purpose of jewelry electroplating is to prevent metal oxidation and modify the appearance.
  • There are three most common colors of electroplated jewelry: (i) Silver/Rhodium Plated (ii) Gold (Gold Plated) (iii) Rose Gold Plated (Rose Gold Plated), so no matter what color the appearance is , the metal inside is still​"925 sterling silver".
  • Silver is a very active metal. When it comes into contact with air, it will undergo a chemical reaction, that is, it will oxidize and turn black. Therefore, it is a very natural phenomenon for silver jewelry to turn black. However, as long as it is properly maintained, silver jewelry can also restore its luster.

(2) 14K Gold Filled / Rose Gold Filled 14K GOLD FILLED / ROSE GOLD FILLED

  • The 14K Gold Filled jewelry used in this shop is made of brass with 14K gold on the outside, so it is also called "14K Gold Filled ".
  • "14K gold injection" refers to covering a layer of 14K gold on the surface of the metal tire (brass or other metal) under high temperature and high pressure, and the gold content accounts for 5% of the total weight.
  • Gold plating has strong bonding force and high wear resistance, so it is not easy to fall off and is more durable than gold plating.
  • Proper use and good maintenance can prevent oxidation for a long period of time.
  • The most basic daily maintenance is to wipe the jewelry with a silver wiping cloth regularly, which can restore the luster of the jewelry .

(3) stainless steel

  • Stainless steel is harder than 925 sterling silver, so it is relatively strong and durable.
  • The stainless steel jewelry used in this shop is generally 304 and 316, which have good corrosion resistance and are therefore not easy to oxidize.
  • ​304 and 316 stainless steel are widely used in different things, such as watch straps, tableware, small appliances or medical appliances, etc.
  • The stainless steel itself is steel silver, and the steel jewelry after electroplating is also available in gold (Gold Plated) and rose gold ((Rose Gold Plated), just like silver jewelry, no matter what color the outside is, the metal inside is still "stainless steel".
  • Daily maintenance is to wipe the jewelry with a cloth regularly.
