Materials We Use & Care

At MXW Jewellery, we prioritise both beauty and durability in our handcrafted jewellery. Here’s an overview of the high-quality materials we use for our gold-plated and gold-filled pieces, along with care instructions to help ensure your jewellery lasts as long as possible.

​1. Gold-Plated Stainless Steel (PVD Technology)

We use PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) technology to plate our stainless steel jewellery, which ensures long-lasting durability. These pieces have passed rigorous salt spray testing and are resistant to tarnish and corrosion. Our gold-plated stainless steel is also hypoallergenic, making it comfortable for those with sensitive skin.

Care Instructions:

  • While waterproof, limiting exposure to harsh chemicals or saltwater will help prolong the shine.
  • Clean with a soft cloth and store in a dry area when not in use.

2. Gold-Plated 925 Sterling Silver 

Our gold-plated silver jewelry features a layer of gold over 925 sterling silver, offering the elegance of gold combined with the strength and flexibility of sterling silver. With a plating significantly thicker than standard gold-plated pieces, our jewelry is crafted to maintain its beauty and durability over time.

Care Instructions:

  •  Minimize exposure to moisture and chemicals to maintain the brilliance of both the gold and silver.
  •  Gently polish with a jewellery cloth to keep it shining.

3. Gold-Filled Jewellery (1/20 14K Gold-Filled)

Our gold-filled jewellery is made with 1/20 14K gold-filled (14Kgf) material, meaning that 1/20th of the item’s weight is solid 14K gold, providing a thick and durable layer of gold that resists tarnishing much longer than gold-plated items. This makes gold-filled jewellery a high-quality, long-lasting alternative to gold plating.

Care Instructions:

  • While durable, it’s best to avoid exposure to harsh chemicals to prevent discolouration.
  • Clean with mild soap and water, and dry with a soft cloth.

General Care Tips for All Gold-Plated and Gold-Filled Jewellery:

  • Remove your jewellery before swimming, exercising, or bathing to maintain its shine and prevent damage.
  • Store pieces in a cool, dry place, ideally in a soft pouch or jewellery box to prevent scratches.
  • Avoid contact with lotions, perfumes, or hairsprays, which can accelerate fading or tarnishing.
