FAQs

Materials & Safety

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Our jewellery is made from high-grade recycled stainless steel, a quality material also used in food-grade applications. It is gentle on the skin and resistant to water and sweat, making it a safe choice for those with sensitive skin. We also conduct regular third-party testing for lead, cadmium, and nickel, and our jewellery consistently meets international safety standards. The surface is coated with durable 18k gold using a PVD method with twice the industry standard thickness, helping the colour stay vibrant and beautiful for longer.

What kind of metal do you use?

We use high-grade recycled stainless steel, the same grade used in food applications, chosen for its sustainability and nickel-free safety, making it suitable for sensitive skin. The surface is finished with an 18k gold PVD coating that is twice the industry standard thickness. We also conduct regular safety testing through certified labs to ensure all pieces meet international standards for lead, cadmium, and nickel content.

What is gold PVD?

PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition, a technique that bonds a thin, even layer of metal to the surface in a vacuum setting. PVD is already far more durable than traditional gold plating, offering greater resistance to wear, water and everyday use. At Grace of Life, we apply 18k gold PVD at twice the standard industry thickness, making it far stronger than traditional plating and ideal for regular wear.

Waterproof & Care

Can I wear it in water?

Yes, our jewellery meets the quality level required to be sold as officially waterproof. You can confidently wear it during everyday activities such as handwashing, showering, or exercising. It is also ocean safe, so you can enjoy it while surfing or spending time at the beach. For best care, we recommend rinsing it gently with clean water afterwards.

Do you have a care guide?

Our waterproof jewellery is made to last, but proper care helps preserve its beauty even longer. After wearing, gently wipe off sweat or residue with a soft cloth. Avoid polishing cloths, as they may damage the coating. If exposed to saltwater or pool water, rinse with clean water afterwards. When not in use, store it in the pouch provided to help protect it from scratches and dust.
