💍 Products & Quality Questions

What materials are your jewellery products made from?
Our jewellery is artificial/imitation/fashion jewellery made from quality materials. Materials vary by product – please check individual product descriptions for specific material information.

Common materials include:
  • Base metals: Brass, copper alloys, stainless steel
  • Plating: Gold-plated, silver-plated, rose gold-plated, oxidized finishes
  • Stones: Cubic zirconia, artificial diamonds, glass stones, semi-precious look-alikes
  • Pearls: Artificial/shell pearls (not natural pearls)
Special Note: We also offer 1 gram gold plated guaranteed products in select designs. These products come with specific quality certification. Look for this specification in product descriptions or contact us for more information about our 1 gram gold collection.
IMPORTANT: Our products are NOT made from real gold, real silver, real diamonds, or precious gemstones unless explicitly mentioned in the product description. All pricing reflects the artificial nature of the materials. Always refer to individual product pages for accurate material information.
How long will the plating last on jewellery?
Plating durability depends entirely on how you use and care for the jewellery. There is NO fixed guarantee period as longevity varies based on several factors:
  • Usage frequency: Daily wear vs occasional use
  • Care & maintenance: Proper storage and cleaning
  • Exposure: Contact with water, perfumes, chemicals, sweat
  • Body chemistry: Skin pH levels affect plating
  • Environmental factors: Humidity, climate conditions

Approximate lifespan with proper care and normal use:
  • Gold plating: 6-12 months
  • Silver plating: 4-8 months
  • Oxidized finishes: 3-6 months
⚠️ Important Disclaimer: These timeframes are APPROXIMATE estimates only and NOT guaranteed. Actual plating life depends on individual usage patterns and care practices. This warranty does NOT apply to all products. Some products may last longer or shorter depending on usage.

We are NOT liable for plating wear that occurs through normal use. Proper care can significantly extend plating life!
Care tips to extend plating life: Remove jewellery before bathing, swimming, or exercising. Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and chemicals. Store in individual pouches away from moisture. Clean gently with a soft cloth after each use. Learn more on our jewellery care guide.
How do I care for my artificial jewellery?
Essential care tips:
  1. Remove before water exposure: Take off jewellery before bathing, swimming, or washing hands
  2. Avoid chemicals: Keep away from perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and cleaning products
  3. Clean gently: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each use
  4. Proper storage: Store in individual pouches in a dry place
  5. No harsh chemicals: Don’t use jewellery cleaners or harsh soaps
  6. Last on, first off: Wear jewellery after applying makeup/perfume, remove first when undressing
Pro Tip: Store jewellery with silica gel packets to absorb moisture and prevent tarnishing. This simple step can significantly extend the life of your plating! Visit our blog for more jewellery care tips.
