What material is jewellery made of?
Jewellery by My Jewellery is mainly made of premium stainless steel. Premium stainless steel has many advantages, including the fact that it's 100% waterproof and allergy-proof. Find a list of all the advantages and more information about premium stainless steel on our jewellery materials page.
Apart from premium stainless steel, we also use 925 Sterling Silver for our ear cuffs. Due to its unique flexibility, 925 Sterling Silver is bendable, ensuring that your ear cuff always fits your ear lobe. Additionally, some of our jewellery also includes freshwater pearls and glass beads. How can you find out what material a specific piece of jewellery is made of? You can always find that information under the product specifications.
How do I keep my stainless steel jewellery looking good?
The majority of jewellery from My Jewellery is made of premium stainless steel. This material is gold or silver coloured all the way through. Your stainless steel jewellery actually doesn’t need any maintenance. The material is super strong, lasts for ages and is 100% recyclable! However, we recommend avoiding cleaning products and chlorinated water. In case you do want to clean your jewellery, we advise you to read our 'cleaning jewellery' blog.
How do I keep my 925 silver/sterling silver jewellery looking good for a long time?
Jewellery made of 925 silver comes from the purest form of silver there is for working with and creating jewellery. It has a glistening sparkle and is strong enough, yet also soft enough to add detailing. It definitely belongs to the high-grade jewellery within our product range.
This is how you keep your silver jewellery looking good:
- Silver may oxidise (dark stains) due to external influences (acidity of the skin, air, water, etc.). You can get that sparkle back in no time by polishing it with a cloth.
- Don’t wear your jewellery if you want to put on perfume, makeup and other cosmetic products..
- Take off your jewellery before going to sleep, so that your jewellery doesn’t come into unnecessary contact with your skin and you avoid damaging or deforming it.
- Take your jewellery off if you are going to take a shower, go swimming or do sports.
- Always keep your jewellery in a protected box where it is not easily affected by external factors such as air and water.
How do I keep my metal jewellery looking good for a long time?
My Jewellery’s metal jewellery range is made of various materials from the same part of the periodic table of elements. Making jewellery like this means it is of a strong material that is good to wear. Metal jewellery from My Jewellery is available in silver and golden colours.
Please keep in mind that metal jewellery is sensitive to discolouring. This means that you need to handle the jewellery with care and look after it properly.

How do I keep my jewellery with beads gemstones looking good for a long time?
- Glass beads are small beads, also known as seed beads. They are mainly used for weaving and lacing jewellery. The beads can take a knock and can handle a bit of perspiration, but to avoid discolouring, we recommend taking them off for a shower and when you go swimming.
- If you want to enjoy your beaded jewellery as long as possible, you will of course need to take care of them. A gemstone is a natural product, which means that some pieces of jewellery may have different dimensions, sizes and colours. It could also happen that the gemstones discolour due to exposure to light and water, so watch out.

We are committed to offering affordable Dutch jewellery design that is accessible and wearable for everyone.
