Product Details

My small business provides several different types of jewelry material; including stainless steel, 925 sterling silver, and 14k gold. My goal is to provide details on all the products I sell, so you can make an informed decision on what material fits your needs.

Please note that as each piece of jewelry is handcrafted, there may be slight imperfections or small bubbles from the creation process. However, rest assured that every item is made with high-quality materials and attention to detail, ensuring a beautiful and unique piece. 

Please be aware that sterling silver may tarnish over time due to exposure to air and moisture. If you are looking for a piece that will maintain its shine and quality for longer, I recommend considering 14K gold, which offers greater durability and resistance to tarnishing. 

Stainless Steel:

Pros:
Durability: Stainless steel is highly durable and resistant to scratches and corrosion, making it ideal for everyday wear.
Low Maintenance: It does not typically tarnish and requires minimal maintenance to keep it looking good. 
Affordability: More affordable than precious metals like gold or silver, making it a budget-friendly option.
Cons:
Limited Styles: There may be fewer design options compared to other metals. 
Weight: Some people find stainless steel jewelry heavier than other materials, which may be uncomfortable for prolonged wear.

925 Sterling Silver:

Pros:
Affordable: Sterling silver is less expensive than platinum and gold, making it a cost-effective choice for jewelry.
Beautiful Appearance: It has a luminous white finish and is available in a variety of designs.
Hypoallergenic: Safe to wear for those with allergies, as it is free from nickel.
Durability: It has high hardness and is not easily damaged by wear.
Timeless: The style is stylish and trendy, making it a versatile choice for jewelry.
Cons:
Scratches: Sterling silver can scratch and may bend over time.
Discoloration: The copper in sterling silver can react with sulfide, causing darkening or discoloration. 
Maintenance: It requires regular maintenance to keep its luster and so it does not tarnish over time.

14K Gold:

Pros: 

Luxury and Value: 14K gold has a premium, luxurious feel and maintains its value over time.

Durability: It is resistant to tarnishing and scratching, especially when cared for.

Hypoallergenic: Good choice for those with sensitive skin.

Cons:

Summary:

Stainless Steel: Durable, affordable, and low maintenance but lacks the warm, luxurious look of silver or gold.

Sterling Silver: Affordable and visually appealing but prone to tarnishing and softer than other metals.

14K Gold: Luxurious and durable, with long-lasting value, but at a higher price point and may need occasional maintenance.
