It's 18k gold PVD bonded to a 316L surgical-steel core — gold-plated, not solid gold, and we say so plainly. The PVD process fuses the gold tone to the steel so it resists fading far better than ordinary electroplating, which is how it stays waterproof and tarnish-free at an everyday price.

Yes. 316L stainless steel is naturally waterproof and corrosion-resistant, so showering, swimming in chlorinated pools or salt water, sweating and sauna heat won't damage the finish. Rinse with fresh water after heavy salt-water exposure to keep it brilliant.

No. Unlike brass or thin gold-plate, solid 316L with bonded PVD gold won't oxidize, flake or leach copper, so it won't turn skin green or tarnish under normal wear. Every piece is backed by a 1-year color warranty.

316L is hypoallergenic for most wearers — the same medical-grade alloy used in body piercings. It does contain nickel (about 10–14%, locked in the alloy), so it isn't technically nickel-free; if you have a diagnosed nickel allergy, patch-test first.
