Jewellery Care

Daniel Formosa is dedicated to creating exquisite jewelry crafted from 316L stainless steel, complemented by the use of high-quality enamel. This specific grade of stainless steel is chosen for its remarkable resistance to corrosion and tarnishing, and is particularly valued for its hypoallergenic properties. This means that our jewelry is designed to be relatively unlikely to cause any allergic reactions, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types. It is important to note that since most of our jewelry is handmade and incorporates natural stones, each piece may have slight variations from the photographs displayed on our website. This uniqueness adds character and charm to every item, reflecting the artistry and craftsmanship involved in its creation. Our commitment to quality also includes using only the finest 18k gold plating, which is applied to enhance the beauty of our stainless steel pieces.
While stainless steel jewelry is extremely durable and does not require special cleaning or maintenance, it is not impervious to scratches. To protect your pieces, we recommend that you wear and store them carefully. For optimal care, avoid letting your jewelry come into contact with other items that might scratch it. We suggest storing stainless steel pieces separately from jewelry made of other metals to prevent any potential damage. Ideally, you should keep your stainless steel items in individual bags or pouches, which can safeguard them from unwanted contact. Furthermore, while stainless steel is highly resistant, the delicate gold plating can be affected by exposure to various substances.
Everyday items such as perfumes, deodorants, hairsprays, makeup, nail polish removers, lotions, oils, antibacterial soaps, shower gels, shampoos, and even natural elements like salty water and chlorine can have an adverse effect on the gold finish. If the gold plating comes into contact with these substances, it can become discolored or tarnished over time. Similarly, our semi-precious stones, which are beautifully incorporated into our designs, are naturally porous and may lose their vibrancy if exposed to the same harmful elements. To ensure the longevity and beauty of each jewelry piece, we strongly encourage you to store them individually and utilize the provided Daniel Formosa green protective pouch. This will help prevent any abrasion from items rubbing against each other, keeping your jewelry looking its best for years to come. Our goal is to provide you with not just beautiful jewelry, but also pieces that are easy to care for and made to last.
