Tips for Choosing Jewelry
- Choose jewelry that matches your personal style and makes you feel comfortable.
- Consider the occasion: subtle for daily wear, more striking for parties.
- Determine your budget and choose quality over quantity.
- Pay attention to the material for sensitive skin – choose low-nickel RVS or 925 silver.
- Which jewelry is suitable for daily wear?
- Stainless steel (RVS) is ideal for daily use: scratch-resistant, colorfast, and waterproof. Small studs, fine necklaces, and slender bracelets in RVS or 925 silver are perfect for everyday.
- How do I maintain my jewelry?
- Clean regularly with a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Store jewelry separately in a soft pouch or box to prevent scratches. Avoid contact with perfume, chlorine, and aggressive chemicals.
- Which jewelry is suitable for sensitive skin?
- Choose low-nickel stainless steel (RVS) or 925 silver for sensitive skin. Titanium is the safest choice for a severe nickel allergy. Read more on our nickel allergy explanation page.
- How do I stylishly combine jewelry?
- Stick to one metal color (gold or silver) for a cohesive look. Vary in size and shape: combine a statement necklace with subtle earrings, or wear multiple delicate rings for a ring-stack look.
- Is jewelry a good gift?
- Yes! Jewelry is a personal and timeless gift. Choose an adjustable model (ring or bracelet) if you don't know the size, or opt for earrings – they always fit. View our gift collection.
