Get to Know Your Metals with Pretty Savage Jewellery! đ¤â¨
SOLID GOLD (10KT / 14KT / 18KT)
Solid gold is the ultimate jewellery superstar! đ It doesnât tarnish, corrode, and has super low reactivity to chemicals and other metals. Its durability and timeless beauty make it the go-to for crafting stunning pieces. No wonder itâs one of the most precious and sought-after metals! đâ¨
STERLING SILVER
Sterling silver holds a special place in our Pretty Savage hearts. đ¤ Its demi-precious properties make it lighter and more durable than gold. Crafted from pure silver and copper, itâs perfect for intricate designs and detailing.
But hey, no oneâs perfect! Sterling silver can tarnish over time, but donât worryâweâve got your back! Most of our sterling silver pieces are plated with 14kt or 18kt gold to keep them shining bright. Need a quick fix? A gentle clean with a silver polishing cloth will bring back the bling! â¨
PLATED BRASS
Brass might seem humble, but itâs got some big perks! đ Its affordability, malleability, and durability mean we can have more fun with playful designsâfrom oh-so-cute to bold statement pieces.
Brass has a sensitive side, though, so we plate it in gold, rose gold, or rhodium to keep it looking fabulous. Just give it a little extra TLC, and itâll stay stunning! đĽ°
TITANIUM
Looking for a piece that can keep up with your busy lifestyle? Titanium is your BFF! đŞ Itâs durable, tarnish-resistant, and hypoallergenicâperfect for sensitive skin and everyday wear. While its hardness limits intricate designs, titaniumâs toughness makes it a practical and stylish choice! đ¤
SURGICAL STEEL
This all-rounder is a fan favorite for a reason! đĄď¸ Surgical-grade stainless steel is durable, affordable, and hypoallergenic for most skin types. Its bio-compatible properties make it ideal for piercing posts, ensuring comfort and safety. đ¤â¨
