Material
All our jewelry is made of stainless steel with 18k gold plating or 925 silver to guarantee our customers quality jewelry.
What is 18k gold plating?
Our jewelry typically uses copper as a base. This base material undergoes an electrolysis (or electroplating) process to receive the gold plating that gives it the designation 'gold plated'.
At Arabika Jewelry, we apply an 18-karat gold layer with a thickness of 3 microns (or 5 microns on pieces with stones), meeting and exceeding the minimum required.
This 18K gold plating guarantees the quality and durability of the jewelry: you can wear it daily, in the shower, or while playing sports. However, we recommend avoiding direct contact with perfumes and all types of cosmetics .

What is 925 silver?
At Arabika Jewelry, our silver is guaranteed free of lead, nickel, and cadmium . We use 925 sterling silver (or solid silver), which is composed of at least 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, with copper being the most common. This alloy is key, as pure silver is soft; by adding copper, we achieve the essential strength to create jewelry that lasts a lifetime.
