What material should you choose for your jewelry: stainless steel, gold plated or silver?

Choosing jewelry isn't just a matter of style: it's also a matter of material. In this article, we'll help you better understand the differences between stainless steel, gold plating, and silver, so your jewelry will last a long time, shining brightly.

Stainless steel: resistance above all

Stainless steel is a very popular material today, and for good reason:

• Water and moisture resistant.

• Does not tarnish, does not rust.

• Hypoallergenic for most skin types.

It's the perfect choice for everyday jewelry, even when worn in the shower. Its modern look and durability make it an excellent base, especially for chains and rings.

Gold plated: accessible elegance

Gold plating is a piece of jewelry made of metal (often brass or steel) covered with a layer of gold:

• Generally 3 microns of 18 carat gold (this is the French standard).

• A chic and luminous finish, close to solid gold.

• A great alternative at a low price.

To preserve the shine of your gold plating, it's best to avoid water, perfume, or exercise. This type of jewelry is perfect for special occasions or elegant wear. At Asterina, we use 18k gold plating to ensure an elegant and long-lasting finish.

925 silver: a timeless classic

925 silver (also called sterling silver) is made of 92.5% pure silver, with the remainder being copper for strength:

• A bright, white, timeless look.

• Suitable for all styles, from clean to more elaborate.

• May tarnish slightly over time, but cleans very easily.

It is a precious and noble material, ideal for jewelry that you want to keep for years.

So what to choose?

It all depends on your usage, your lifestyle and your desires:
