Jewelry care guide
At Femme Lotus, each piece of jewelry is designed to last. We use durable, carefully selected materials such as 18k gold-plated stainless steel, 18k gold-plated 925 sterling silver, moissanite, 5A zircon, and genuine gold. Our pieces are meant to accompany you over time—provided you give them a little daily love.
How long do our jewels last?
We often get this question:
"How long do your pieces keep their shine?"
The answer: Several years, depending on how well you care for them.
✨ Real-life example: Our 18k gold-plated stainless steel “Limitless 2mm Necklace” has been worn daily for over 2 years, including at the beach, in the shower, and with perfume—and it has remained intact and shiny.
✨ Another example: Our “Elegant Mermaid Tennis Bracelet” made of 18k gold-plated 925 silver with moissanite has been worn for 2 years (shower, beach, pool, spa) and still shines like new.
When properly cared for, our jewelry retains its beauty long term. These examples highlight the strength of our materials, but a few simple habits will help maximize their longevity.
🌟 18k Gold-Plated Stainless Steel
Highly resistant, hypoallergenic, and perfect for daily wear, stainless steel is a safe choice. It does not tarnish, does not oxidize, and tolerates water and humidity well.
Recommendations:
✨ 18k Gold-Plated 925 Silver – with or without stones
Silver is a softer and more delicate precious metal, often chosen for its refined shine. Our 925 silver pieces are plated in 18k gold and may be adorned with stones such as 5A zircon (high brilliance) or moissanite (a premium stone close to diamond).
Good to know:
Silver is more malleable than steel: earring posts can bend slightly under pressure. This is not a defect, but a natural characteristic of the metal. Always handle them gently.
Care tips:
💎 Stones – Moissanite & 5A Zircon
Our stones are selected for their beauty and durability.
Moissanite offers exceptional brilliance and lasting strength.
5A Zircon is a sparkling, accessible, and elegant alternative.
Precautions:
💛 Genuine Gold
Solid gold is naturally durable and does not tarnish over time. It can be worn daily without fear of oxidation.
Tips:
Packaging & Protection
Each piece is carefully packaged in a jewelry box or microfiber pouch to protect it during shipping and at home.
We also include a soft microfiber cloth for caring for your pieces, especially recommended for silver jewelry.
In Summary
Our jewelry is made to be worn and loved daily, with minimal care. By handling them with care and following a few simple steps, you’ll ensure a long life and lasting shine.
