VANSTELLA pieces are made to be worn — and a few simple habits keep them looking their best.
Every stone is moissanite, rated 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale — harder than sapphire and ruby, so it stands up well to everyday wear.
Our 925 sterling silver base is finished with 18K gold or rhodium plating. Plating is a surface layer that gradually wears with friction, water, sweat and chemicals, so a little care goes a long way.
Caring for your gold plating
Over time, some wear or fading of the gold plating is completely normal. Of course you can wear your VANSTELLA pieces while swimming, working out, showering and sleeping, but to keep them beautiful for longer we encourage you to avoid water and perfume where possible, and to gently wipe your piece from time to time with the soft pouch it comes in.
Gradual wear of the plating through normal use is not a manufacturing defect. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Four steps, that’s all:
- Avoid water where possible — swimming, showering, sport and sleep are fine, but less contact keeps the plating looking its best
- Put it on last — after perfume, lotion and hairspray
- Wipe gently with the soft pouch after wearing
- Store each piece separately in your VANSTELLA gift box
