FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Each collection is crafted with intention:
- 18K Gold-Filled: Long-lasting, demi-fine quality that won’t easily tarnish or fade.
- 18K Gold PVD over 316L Stainless Steel: Durable, waterproof, and hypoallergenic for everyday wear.
Our pieces are designed to empower, endure, and shine—just like you.
These terms describe how much real gold is used — and how long your jewelry will last.
- 18K Gold-Plated (or Dipped): A very thin layer of gold applied over brass or
stainless steel. It offers a beautiful shine but is delicate and may fade with
everyday wear. - Vermeil: A thicker layer of gold (at least 2.5 microns) over sterling silver. It’s
higher quality than standard plating but still requires gentle care to preserve its
finish. - Gold-Filled: A thick, durable layer of real gold that’s pressure-bonded to a base
metal (usually jeweler’s brass). It’s water-resistant, tarnish-resistant, and safe for daily wear and crafted to last for years.
At SHE DECIDES COLLECTION, we proudly use 18K Gold-Filled materials across our demi-fine collections to ensure every piece endures beautifully, empowering you to wear it every day, without compromise.
To keep your pieces looking their best:
- Gently wipe with a soft cloth after wearing.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, perfumes, or lotions directly on the jewelry.
- Store in a cool, dry place—preferably in your SHE DECIDES pouch.
Our 18K Gold-Filled pieces are crafted to shine like solid gold and designed to last, but they still deserve mindful care. To preserve their radiant color, avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, lotions, oils, alcohol, or jewelry cleaners.
While any jewelry that isn’t pure gold can naturally react over time, gold-filled jewelry stands apart for its exceptional durability and longevity. It’s stronger, thicker, and far more resilient than vermeil, plated, or dipped finishes.
With a little care and intention, your SHE DECIDES pieces will continue to shine boldly — outlasting trends, coatings, and seasons.
Crafted from premium 316L stainless steel and coated in 18K gold using advanced PVD technology, our Ever Collection is made to endure — just like the women who wear it. This high-performance finish creates a brilliant, lasting shine that’s waterproof, tarnish-
resistant, and hypoallergenic.
While these pieces are designed for everyday life, from workouts to weekends, we still recommend treating them with care. Avoid direct contact with harsh chemicals, chlorine, or abrasive surfaces to maintain their flawless glow.
Unlike traditional gold plating, PVD bonding fuses gold to steel at a molecular level, making it one of the most durable and sustainable finishes available. It’s the perfect choice for women who live boldly and never take their shine off.
