At Kosiner Jewelry, each piece is crafted with precision, passion, and enduring materials. To help you enjoy your jewelry for years to come, we've compiled this guide to our most-used materials and how to properly care for each one. From timeless solid gold to modern titanium, every material requires unique attention. Read on to discover more.
1. 14K Solid Gold
Timeless, Durable, Hypoallergenic
Our 14K solid gold pieces are crafted to last a lifetime. Unlike gold plating, solid gold will never chip or fade, making it a perfect choice for everyday wear. Its composition offers the ideal balance between luxury and strength.
Care Tips:
-
Clean gently with warm water and a mild soap using a soft cloth or brush.
-
Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough handling.
-
Store separately to prevent scratching from other pieces.
-
Polish occasionally with a gold polishing cloth to maintain shine.
2. Lab-Grown Diamond
Ethical, Sustainable, Chemically Identical to Mined Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds offer the brilliance and hardness of natural diamonds with minimal environmental impact. At Kosiner, we select only high-quality lab-grown diamonds that are conflict-free and sustainably produced.
Care Tips:
-
Use a soft toothbrush and gentle dish soap to clean.
-
Avoid lotions or oils that can cloud the surface.
-
Store in a separate compartment or pouch to prevent scratching softer gemstones.
-
Get professional cleaning for deeper sparkle every 6–12 months.
3. Sterling Silver
Classic, Versatile, Affordable Luxury
Sterling silver (92.5% pure silver mixed with other metals) has a beautiful sheen but can tarnish over time due to exposure to air and moisture. With proper care, it can remain bright and beautiful for years.
Care Tips:
-
Store in an airtight bag or anti-tarnish cloth when not in use.
-
Avoid water, perfume, and sweat to minimize tarnishing.
-
Clean regularly with a silver polishing cloth or mild silver cleaner.
-
Never use paper towels or tissues, which can scratch the surface.
4. Gold & Rose Gold Plated
Luxurious Look, Affordable Alternative
Our plated pieces are crafted with a base metal (usually brass or sterling silver) and coated in a thick layer of gold or rose gold. While more delicate than solid gold, they offer beautiful color and style at an accessible price point.
Care Tips:
-
Remove before swimming, showering, or exercising.
-
Avoid perfume, lotion, and chemicals which can wear down the plating.
-
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear to remove oils.
-
Store separately in a pouch to prevent scratches and prolong the plating.
5. Titanium
Lightweight, Strong, Hypoallergenic
Titanium is one of the strongest and most lightweight metals used in modern jewelry. It's resistant to corrosion and is perfect for those with metal sensitivities.
Care Tips:
-
Clean with warm water and mild soap, and dry with a soft cloth.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals or chlorine.
-
Although scratch-resistant, store it separately to maintain its finish.
-
Minimal maintenance needed — ideal for an active lifestyle.
