Our 18k gold plated items are tarnish-free and will maintain their vibrant look as long as they are properly taken care of. Our jewelry can be worn in the shower, pool and beach However, we recommend keeping your piece(s) away from water whenever possible to maintain that fresh shine. If you choose to wear them in the salt/ chlorine water, please remember to wash off the salt/chlorine on the jewelry to keep its shine and look!

In very rare occasions, the jewelry will tarnish because of the PH level in your body. This will happen whether the jewelry is plated or filled with real gold. Skin discoloration happens when too much acid in your body causes your skin to react with your jewelry. If that is the case, we recommend you shopping solid gold pieces.

We recently included BODY JEWELRY. While some are anti- tarnish, some are not. Please read product description for more details.

The short answer is no :) The base metal for all our jewelry is 316L Surgical Steel (unless stated otherwise.) 316L (the "L" refers to "low carbon") is the most commonly utilized surgical stainless steel for body jewelry. It is durable and great for people who have sensitive skin. We use the highest quality steel which makes it more resistant to corrosion and discoloration than other types of stainless steel. We stay away from cheap metals that turn your skin green such as; Brass, Zinc, Nickel, Alloy and Copper. 

Any item that specifies that it is gold-plated in the description box is plated in 18k gold. Solid gold products would be far more expensive than the prices were are able to offer. We strive to balance affordability and quality! 

Plated jewelry is only bad when you try to plate cheap metals such as; Brass, Zinc, Nickel, Alloy and Copper.
