Gold Plated Sterling Silver vs. Brass: What Does Your Skin and Style Prefer?

Imagine this: you're getting ready for an event. You've picked out the perfect outfit after much deliberation, and now it's down to the jewellery. Do you opt for silver, gold or brass? While some may love the aesthetic of brass, here's a little insider knowledge: it comes with baggage. 

No Allergies, Just Compliments 

First, let's talk about wearing comfort, because what's style if it's not effortless? Brass often gets the side-eye for causing those annoying green stains and unexpected allergic reactions. In contrast, all of our jewellery is made out of 18 carat sterling silver and is kind to your skin. It’s hypoallergenic and sits with you like a second skin, making it a go-to for everyday wear. Take, for example, our Astrid gold star ring. This stunner, with its eye-catching emerald green detail, offers glamour without the drama. It's all about making your day better, not itchier.

Elegance that Lasts 

Sterling silver is in it for the long haul. Unlike brass, which can demand a bit too much attention with its need for frequent polishing, sterling silver ages like fine wine. It takes on life with you, its slight changes over time telling your unique story. Now, something like our Cressida moon charm bracelet would fit the bill here. Its shine isn’t just about catching light; it’s about reflecting the thoughtful, sustainable choices you make.

Sustainability Never Looked So Good 

We all know "sustainable" is more than a trendy catchphrase; it's a way of life, especially in the fashion sphere. Sterling silver, particularly the recycled kind, embodies this principle. When you pick out gorgeous, eco-friendly pieces like our jewellery with biodegradable resin or semi precious stones, you’re making a statement that’s stylish and socially responsible.

Wrapping up, choosing sterling silver is about investing in a narrative. You’re not just buying into timeless style; you’re embracing comfort, standing by your sustainable values, and saying yes to jewellery that will journey through life with you.
