Materials We Use

Our jewelry is crafted with premium 14K and 18K gold-filled layers over jeweler’s brass, as well as Gold PVD-plated stainless steel. These materials are carefully chosen to provide the luxurious look and feel of solid gold, while being both durable and affordable. Each piece is designed to be worn every day, offering long-lasting quality and style.

Gold-Filled Jewelry

Our gold-filled jewelry features an outer layer of 14K or 18K gold that is pressure-bonded to a jeweler’s brass core. Unlike gold plating, gold-filled jewelry contains a much thicker layer of gold, making it more durable and resistant to tarnishing. We opt for 18K gold, with 75% purity, due to its superior quality and fashion-forward design, commonly used in high-end Italian jewelry.

• Waterproof & Tarnish-Resistant: Our gold-filled jewelry is tarnish-resistant and can withstand occasional contact with water, making it ideal for everyday wear. However, to maintain its shine and integrity, we recommend removing it before prolonged water exposure, such as swimming or exercising.
• Hypoallergenic: Designed for sensitive skin, our gold-filled pieces are hypoallergenic and meet stringent health standards, including CA Prop 65 and EU regulations, ensuring both safety and comfort.
• Care Instructions: To care for your gold-filled jewelry, clean it occasionally with mild soap and water, and gently dry it with a soft cloth. When not in use, store your pieces in a cool, dry place, such as our complimentary Love & Rina pouch, to prevent moisture buildup.

Gold PVD-Plated Jewelry

Our Gold PVD-plated jewelry is created using an advanced process called Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), in which a layer of 14K or 18K gold, ranging from 1 to 2.5 microns thick, is bonded to stainless steel. This process creates a more durable and longer-lasting finish compared to traditional gold plating, making our jewelry resistant to tarnishing and fading over time.

• Waterproof & Long-Lasting: The thick PVD gold coating ensures that our jewelry is waterproof and long-lasting. While it can handle occasional water exposure, we recommend removing it when swimming or bathing and storing it properly when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
• Hypoallergenic: Just like our gold-filled pieces, our PVD-plated jewelry is hypoallergenic, providing a safe and comfortable experience for those with sensitive skin.
• Care Instructions: To keep your PVD-plated jewelry looking its best, wipe it down with a soft cloth after wearing. Store it in a cool, dry place away from liquids to maintain its shine and durability. With proper care, PVD-plated jewelry can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years or more.

Storage 

To ensure the longevity of your jewelry, we recommend storing your pieces in the complimentary Love & Rina pouchwhen not in use. Although our jewelry is designed for everyday wear and is meant to be lived in, we still advise removing it during activities such as swimming, exercising, or prolonged exposure to water and chemicals. Proper storage helps maintain the beauty and integrity of your jewelry for years to come.
