Mastering Jewelry Care & Materials
At By Own, we take pride in using the highest quality materials to create our exquisite pieces. Our jewelry is produced using 18k gold dipped in sterling silver, with a layer of 18k gold measuring 1.5 microns, providing a luxurious touch to our creations. This gold vermeil technique ensures that our pieces maintain their long-lasting color and durability.
In addition to gold vermeil, we also offer pieces crafted from 18k gold-plated brass. These items feature a layer of 18k gold with a thickness of 2 microns, ensuring their elegance and resilience. To further enhance their longevity, we apply a layer of anti-tarnish on top.
When it comes to materials, we spare no effort in selecting the finest options. The An Intimate Affair collection primarily incorporates 18k gold vermeil, 18k rose gold vermeil, and 925 sterling silver. However, larger pieces may consist of 100% brass with 18k gold plating. We prioritize hypoallergenic sterling silver for our earring posts to ensure comfort and wearability for all. Our commitment to authenticity is reflected in the use of genuine semi-precious stones and Swarovski crystals, adding a touch of elegance to our designs.
For our silver jewelry, we utilize 925 Sterling Silver, an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. To enhance its luster and durability, we plate our silver jewelry with rhodium, a precious metal known for its rarity and brilliance. Rhodium plating gives our silver pieces extra shine and ensures they withstand the test of time.
We provide transparency and ensure you have all the necessary information, the materials used in each product are clearly listed on the individual product page. At By Own, we strive to create jewelry that can be treasured forever, and our choice of premium materials is a testament to that commitment.
To ensure the longevity of your jewelry, it's important to understand the natural behavior of Gold Vermeil (gold-plated sterling silver), it's the silver component that reacts. Here are some tips:
-
If your gold vermeil pieces start to show signs of tarnish or fading over time—it's completely normal for plated jewelry.
-
Excessive and prolonged wear can cause your jewelry to change color or the plating to wear off. Typically, after about 6 months of wear, you may notice some compromise in the appearance of your pieces.
-
Sterling silver naturally oxidizes and develops a patina when exposed to air. To restore its shine, use a lint-free, 100% cotton cloth to gently wipe the piece.
-
You can also use the cloth to lightly polish your yellow and rose gold plated pieces, if necessary.
-
Before engaging in activities like exercising or showering, remember to remove your vermeil jewelry to protect it.
-
To clean your jewelry, gently buff it with a dry cloth and store it in your pouch for safekeeping.
-
It's advisable to remove your jewelry when excessively participating in the following activities:
-
Showering, bathing, or washing your hands.
-
Exercising, as the salt in your sweat can affect the plating.
-
Swimming, as chlorine can have a negative effect on plating over time.
-
Cleaning, especially with harsh chemicals.
-
Applying perfumes, lotions, oils, etc.
-
-
If you're unsure whether it's appropriate to wear your jewelry in a specific situation, it's best to choose the safer option and remove it.
-
By following these care practices, you can ensure a longer lifespan for your precious jewelry.
