Guide and care of our jewelry

CARE AND MATERIALS GUIDE

At Pursinity, we design jewelry meant to accompany you every day. Durable, hypoallergenic, and long-lasting. To help your pieces look perfect for longer, here's a complete guide on care, materials, and frequently asked questions.

WHY CHOOSE 316L STAINLESS STEEL?

316L stainless steel is one of the strongest and safest materials on the market. It is the same type of steel used in medical instruments due to its purity and reliability.

Benefits of 316L stainless steel

  • Water resistant: you can get it wet without fear.
  • It does not lose its color: it does not rust or turn black.
  • Hypoallergenic: suitable for sensitive skin.
  • Very durable: perfect for everyday use.
  • It does not need constant polishing to maintain its shine.

18K GOLD PLATED

Many of our pieces combine 316L steel with 18-karat gold plating, for an elegant, shiny, and durable finish.

What does 18k gold plated mean?

The plating process involves applying a layer of 18-karat gold over a stainless steel base. This offers:

  • Shine and color identical to real gold.
  • Superior durability.
  • Affordable price with quality.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOLD PLATING AND GOLD BATING

This question is very common, and understanding it makes all the difference when choosing long-lasting jewelry.

Gold plated

  • Thicker gold layer.
  • Greater durability.
  • Improved resistance to wear and water.
  • Uniform, high-quality finish.

Gold plating

  • Thinner gold layer.
  • It wears out faster.
  • Less resistance.
  • It is usually used in more affordable jewelry.

In conclusion, 18k gold plating is much more durable and resistant than gold coating. At Pursinity, we want your jewelry to stay beautiful for longer, which is why, as you know, 18k gold plating is the method we use on our pieces.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR PURSINITY JEWELRY

Here we show you a series of guidelines and recommendations that we always make to extend the life of our jewelry as much as possible.

General recommendations:

  • Avoid soaking them for long periods of time in chlorine or seawater and dry them after getting them wet to maintain their shine.
  • Avoid contact with highly abrasive products (bleach, alcohol, dye...)
  • Avoid spraying perfume directly onto the pieces.
  • Clean them with a soft cloth when you want to restore their shine.
  • Avoid rubbing them together and store them in their individual pouch to prevent losing the plating.

By following these recommendations with normal use and basic care, your Pursinity jewelry will last for years, maintaining its shine and color.
