Plated stainless steel is an exceptional choice for everyday jewellery—offering the perfect blend of durability, affordability, and elegance. Naturally resistant to tarnishing, rust, and corrosion, stainless steel provides a strong foundation that holds up beautifully to daily wear. When plated with premium gold, it delivers the luxurious look of fine jewellery with added resilience. It’s also hypoallergenic, making it a safe option for most sensitive skin. To keep your plated stainless steel pieces shining, we recommend storing them in the cotton drawstring bag provided, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces, and gently wiping them after each wear. Each piece comes with an individual polishing cloth, perfect for maintaining its shine and ensuring your pieces stay radiant for years to come.

Brass is a strong, resilient metal that makes the perfect foundation for everyday jewellery, especially pieces like tennis bracelets that need to balance beauty with durability. Known for its strength and resistance to corrosion, brass offers a long-lasting base that holds its shape and maintains structural integrity over time.

When coated in premium 18k gold plating, brass becomes virtually indistinguishable from solid gold in appearance, without the hefty price tag. It’s also lightweight, making it comfortable for all-day wear while still feeling substantial on the wrist.

At raffinée the label, we use brass in select pieces where its durability and affordability allow us to deliver luxurious, high-impact designs that are built to last.

Pearls are timeless treasures that deserve a little extra love. As natural gemstones, they are more delicate than metals and other stones, so proper care is essential to preserve their lustre. To keep your pearls looking their best, always put them on last—after applying perfumes, lotions, and hairspray—and remove them first when undressing. Gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove any residue and store them separately in the cotton drawstring pouch provided to prevent scratches. Avoid soaking pearls in water or exposing them to harsh chemicals, as this can damage their natural finish. With a touch of care, your pearls will remain radiant for years to come.

Sterling silver is a beautiful, high-quality metal that can last a lifetime with the right care. Over time, it may naturally tarnish when exposed to air, moisture, or certain chemicals—but this can easily be prevented and polished away. To keep your sterling silver pieces looking radiant, store them in the cotton drawstring bag provided, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid contact with water, perfumes, and lotions, and always remove your jewelry before showering or exercising. Each piece comes with an individual polishing cloth, which can be used regularly to gently buff away tarnish and restore shine.

Just like diamonds, 5A cubic zirconias need a little care to maintain their brilliance over time. While they are highly durable and resistant to scratching, regular cleaning helps keep their light-reflecting sparkle at its best. To clean your stones, simply soak the piece in warm water with a drop of mild soap for a few minutes, then gently brush around the stones with a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive tools, as these can damage the setting or dull the finish. With a little attention, your CZ pieces will continue to shine as brilliantly as the day you got them.
