Designed for real life.
At Nikoleit, our jewelry is crafted to withstand everyday wear — including exposure to sweat, moisture, and light water contact. While no piece of jewelry is completely indestructible, our materials and finishing processes help ensure long-lasting shine and durability when properly cared for.
1. Everyday Sweat-Resistant Design
Our jewelry is designed to accompany you throughout everyday life.
Many of our pieces are crafted from materials that naturally offer higher resistance to sweat and daily wear, including:
These materials help maintain color, shine, and surface integrity during normal daily activities.
Please note: Certain designs made from softer base metals such as copper, brass, or alloy-based materialsrequire more delicate care and are not classified as sweat- or water-resistant.
2. Water Resistance – What You Can Expect
Jewelry made from water-resistant materials (such as stainless steel, titanium, or sterling silver) is suitable for everyday situations, including:
Our finishing and plating processes help protect against surface wear and fading in normal daily environments.
However, for all jewelry — regardless of material — we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to:
❌ showers
❌ swimming
❌ saunas or steam rooms
❌ chlorinated or saltwater
❌ cleaning agents, perfumes, or lotions applied directly to the jewelry
Extended exposure can accelerate wear over time, as is the case with all jewelry.
3. Premium Plating & Protective Coating
Gold-plated pieces crafted on stainless steel or similar durable base materials feature a high-quality coating designed to enhance longevity.
This includes:
With proper care, these finishes are suitable for everyday wear and occasional moisture.
Plated jewelry based on softer metals (such as copper or brass) is more sensitive and should be kept strictly dry to preserve its appearance.
4. Why Jewelry May Tarnish Over Time (A Natural Process)
Tarnishing or surface changes can occur over time due to:
This is a natural process and not a sign of low quality.
Each order includes a care guide to help you maintain your jewelry in its best condition.
5. Care Tips to Keep Your Jewelry at Its Best
✔ After physical activity
Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth to remove moisture or sweat.
✔ Before showering or swimming
Remove jewelry to protect plating, coatings, and finishes.
✔ Proper storage
Store your jewelry in the Nikoleit pouch or box to protect it from humidity and scratches.
✔ Avoid chemicals
Perfume, lotion, sunscreen, and cleaning agents should never be applied directly onto jewelry.
