Jewelry made of 925 Sterling Silver

All DOUKISSA NOMIKOU jewelry is handmade with love, using either 24-karat gold-plated 925 Sterling Silver or rhodium-plated 925 Sterling Silver. To keep them unalterable over time, we should take proper care of them.

Silver is a metal that naturally oxidizes over time, which is entirely normal. When a piece of jewelry oxidizes, it may undergo a slight change in color. This is part of the normal wear and tear of the jewelry and is not considered a manufacturing defect. The positive aspect is that this oxidation is only surface-deep and does not penetrate the entire metal, so it does not destroy the jewelry.

To maintain the color and shine of your silver jewelry for as long as possible, follow these care tips:

• Avoid contact with soaps, perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and detergents. Remove your jewelry before washing your hands and swimming.

• Avoid daily exposure to water and sunlight as it may affect the metal, color, and shine.

• Store your jewelry in a pouch or its original box. Do not store all your jewelry together in one box, as there is a possibility of scratching or tangling.

Stainless Steel Jewelry:

Jewelry made of stainless steel that are included in the "Waterproof" category are water-resistant and hypoallergenic, thanks to a special PVD coating method.

They have great water resistance, so you don't need to take them off during showers, at the beach, or at the gym.
