✨ Athentina Jewels Materials

We use premium 18k Gold plating that lasts significantly longer and never changes colour. As opposed to gold coloured alloys you might find in fast fashion stores, gold plated stainless steel jewelry will never turn green/blue or red as the only materials used are Stainless Steel and Gold.

CARE:

Although contact with water will not affect the colour of your gold-plated stainless steel jewelry, it is recommended that you avoid contact with soap, hand sanitizer, moisturizer, and any household cleanser for long-lasting preservation.

We highy recommend to remove your gold plating rings before applying hand sanitizer.

You should keep your jewelry in your Athentinaa organic coton pouch when you take them off.

Sterling silver, also known as 925 silver, is made of 92.5% silver and 7.5 copper. Our sterling silver pieces are covered with Rhodium, a very rare and expensive metal from the Platinum group. This kind of plating protects the silver from outside elements that might accelerate its oxydation. It also gives the jewelry that extra shiny finish we love!

CARE:

Sterling Silver is waterproof because even if it tarnish a little with time, it will always come back to its orignal shine after being cleaned. Therefore, you can totally wear your sterling silver jewelry in the water. However, we recommend you take it off before swimming in a pool or going to the spa, as chlorine is an extremely harsh product that will accelerate their oxydation. In these cases, you'll probably need to clean your pieces afterwards.

For optimal conservation, we recommend that you wear your pieces often as the skin's oils help prevent tarnishing and to store them in an hermetic bag or your Athentinaa pouch when you take them off.

Cleaning : Use your Athentinaa cleaning cloth (we give one with every sterling silver order!) to add shine. If your jewelry needs a little more love, clean with your favorite silver cleaning product or make your own mixture using baking soda and water.
