Choosing a Material
There isn’t one right answer, because each material looks and feels a little different. A few things to think about:
- The look you like: bright silver, a softer silver tone, gold color or clear.
- The weight you prefer: titanium alloy usually feels lighter than stainless steel.
- The style of piece: some styles are only made in certain materials.
Some people are more sensitive to certain metals than others. If you know a particular metal doesn’t suit you, check the material on the product page before you buy. If you’re not sure, your piercer can suggest options. There’s more on this in the note on metal sensitivity below.

A Note on Metal Sensitivity
Some people are sensitive or allergic to certain metals, and what affects one person may not affect another. We can’t predict how any one person will respond to a material, and nothing on this site is medical advice.
- Stainless steel may contain nickel.
- Titanium alloys are made from titanium combined with other metals.
If you have a known metal allergy or sensitivity, check the material on the product page before you order, and speak with your piercer or a healthcare professional if you’re unsure. If a piece feels uncomfortable when you wear it, you may want to take it out.
Cleaning and Storing
These tips are about the jewelry itself. A few simple habits help pieces keep their look.
Wipe
After wearing, wipe the piece gently with a soft, clean cloth to remove makeup, lotion and dust. For a deeper clean, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild soap and water, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. It's best to avoid soaking or scrubbing around stones.
Dry
Dry the piece completely before you put it away.
Store apart
Keep pieces separate, in a pouch, box or compartment, so they don't scratch each other or tangle. Glass pieces need extra care, as they may chip or break.
Good to Know
- Consider taking jewelry off before using strong cleaning products or swimming.
- Colored finishes, such as gold color, can wear gradually with friction, cleaning and contact with products. Wipe them gently, and it's best to avoid abrasive cloths or polishes.
- Try to keep perfume, hair spray and makeup away from your jewelry.

How do I find out what a piece is made of?
Product pages list the material in the product details. If you’d like more detail about a specific piece, contact us with the product name.
Which material should I choose?
There isn’t one answer for everyone. Titanium, stainless steel and glass look and feel different, so choose by the look you like, the weight you prefer and the style of piece. If you know a metal doesn’t suit you, check the material on the product page before you buy, and ask your piercer if you’re unsure.
How often should I clean my jewelry?
There’s no fixed schedule. A gentle wipe after wearing is an easy habit, and a deeper clean whenever a piece looks dull or has picked up makeup, lotion or dust.
Can I wear my jewelry swimming or with strong products?
Many people take jewelry off before swimming or using strong cleaning products. It’s a simple way to help pieces keep their look, especially pieces with a colored finish.
Will colored finishes change over time?
Colored finishes, such as gold color, can wear gradually with friction, cleaning and contact with products. Wipe gently, store pieces apart, and it’s best to avoid abrasive cloths.
