Are your jewelry pieces tarnishing, scratching, or rusting? Are you overwhelmed trying to find the right pieces? Don't worry, I have the answers to all your questions.
When buying jewelry, it's important to choose the right materials for its intended use. Between durability, comfort, and aesthetics, each type of jewelry has its own specific requirements.
💍Rings: Durability Above All
Rings are the most worn pieces of jewelry in our daily lives. They accompany all our actions: typing, opening doors, cooking, etc.
So what should you choose? 18-karat gold
The perfect balance between purity and durability, 18-karat gold (75% pure gold) resists scratches while retaining its natural shine.
⚡Why it's the best choice:
Resistant to everyday wear and tear
Doesn't easily deform
Suitable for sensitive skin
Retains its color over time
💬Good to know: For maximum durability, 14-karat gold is harder, but 18-karat gold offers greater purity and prestige.
💡Alternative: Platinum for higher budgets, or stainless steel for a more economical choice.
📿Bracelets: Flexibility and Durability
A bracelet must strike a balance between flexibility and strength. It constantly moves with your wrist and undergoes repeated twisting.
The ideal choice: Stainless steel
Stainless steel offers exceptional durability at an affordable price. Opt for surgical stainless steel (316L), which provides the best durability. 304 stainless steel is also a very good compromise for smaller budgets.
🔧Why it's ideal:
Tarnish-resistant (doesn't rust or tarnish)
Hypoallergenic
Easy to care for
Water and perspiration resistant
🌟For added refinement: 14-karat rose gold offers a beautiful alternative, more malleable than yellow gold.
💡Alternative: Platinum for higher budgets, or stainless steel for a more economical choice.
👂Earrings: Lightweight and Hygienic
Ears are sensitive! The material must be soft, lightweight, and above all, hypoallergenic to prevent infections and irritation.
The champion: Medical-grade titanium
Ultra-light and biocompatible, titanium is the gold standard material in medicine. Perfect for sensitive ears!
🪶Advantages:
Featherweight (maximum comfort)
100% hypoallergenic
Does not cause any skin reactions
Corrosion-resistant
✨Alternative: 316L surgical stainless steel also offers excellent hypoallergenic protection, or 18-karat yellow gold for added refinement.
📿Necklaces: Comfort and Clasp Strength
A necklace should be comfortable around the neck while also supporting the weight of the pendant.
What to choose? 925 Sterling Silver
Sterling silver (92.5% pure silver) offers the best value for money for necklaces, with excellent malleability.
🔗Why it's perfect:
Strong enough to support a pendant
Supple and comfortable around the neck
Affordable price
Polishes easily
⚠️Note: 925 silver naturally tarnishes over time (contact with air, perspiration). Regular maintenance is necessary to preserve its shine.
✨Alternative: Stainless steel is a very good compromise: flexible, durable, and lightweight.
