At STUDIYO Jewelry, every piece is thoughtfully designed to balance strength, comfort, and timeless style.

We use a variety of metals and finishes—some we’re phasing out as we transition toward more stainless steel + PVD pieces, but each one is chosen for its unique qualities.

✨ 304 Stainless Steel

304 stainless steel is a durable, tarnish-resistant alloy with lower nickel content than many other jewelry-grade steels. It’s finished with a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating, a vacuum-bonded layer that enhances color, shine, and longevity.

Care tips: Wipe with a soft cloth after wear. Can handle daily life, but to maximize longevity, avoid direct exposure to chlorine or harsh chemicals.

✨ PVD over Brass

Our pieces combine a brass base with a PVD finish for rich color and a long-lasting surface. It allows for sculptural shapes while still maintaining the benefits of PVD’s durability.

Care tips: Store in a pouch when not wearing, avoid prolonged water exposure.

925 Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is a 92.5% pure silver alloy with a bright, cool-toned shine. Over time, it may oxidize or tarnish, which can be polished away.

Care tips: Gently polish with a silver cloth if tarnish develops; store in an airtight bag to slow oxidation.

Gold Vermeil

(pronounced vehr-may; it's French!) is a legally regulated term that refers to sterling silver jewelry that is plated with 2.5 microns of 18k gold—significantly thicker than standard gold plating for lasting luxury and rich color depth.

Care tips: Keep dry, polish gently with a soft cloth—no abrasive cleaners.

Gold-Plated Brass + Enamel

A thick layer of gold plating applied over a brass base, sometimes accented with enamel for color. This finish is less durable than PVD but allows for playful, statement-making pieces.

Care tips: Avoid water, sweat, and chemicals. Wipe clean after wear and store away from humidity.

Brass with Gold-Filled Ear Wires

Pieces are made from a brass base paired with gold-filled ear wires (a thick layer of gold bonded to a core metal). This ensures comfort where the jewelry touches your skin.

Care tips: Keep away from water and store separately to avoid scratches. Clean brass with a polishing cloth or Bar Keeper's Friend.

Rose Gold–Plated Stainless Steel

304 stainless steel coated with a rose gold–colored plating for a warm-toned finish. Stronger than traditional plating due to the steel base.

Care tips: Wipe clean after wear; limit exposure to chlorine or saltwater.
