We know choosing jewelry online can raise questions about materials and care — that’s why we’re transparent about how each one behaves. Every Georgina Nicol piece is crafted with high-quality materials chosen for their beauty, strength, and timeless appeal.
• 14K Solid Gold
Our most precious and durable material. It will never tarnish or lose its color, even with daily wear or water exposure. Safe for showering, swimming, and everyday use.
Longevity: Lifetime
Care: Clean occasionally with a soft jewelry cloth to maintain its natural glow.
• 925 Sterling Silver
A noble metal with a bright, elegant shine. It may darken slightly over time due to humidity, skin pH, or contact with lotions or saltwater, but it never loses its natural tone. A quick polish easily restores its brightness.
Longevity: Permanent with regular care
Care: Avoid constant contact with saltwater or chlorine and dry thoroughly after use.
• Gold Filled
A high-quality material that contains more gold than regular plating, offering long-lasting color and shine. It maintains its beauty and tone for years when cared for properly.
Longevity: 2–5 years or longer with good care
Care: Avoid exposure to perfumes, saltwater, and friction. Wipe gently after wearing and store separately.
• Stainless Steel
Durable, hypoallergenic, and resistant to corrosion. The gold version has a deeper, more muted yellow tone than 18K gold — a modern matte look that doesn’t chip or flake easily.
Longevity: Many years with minimal care
Care: Clean with a soft cloth and keep dry when not in use.
• 18K Gold Plated (Over Sterling Silver or Stainless Steel)
A thin layer of 18K gold applied to sterling silver or stainless steel for a golden finish. The gold tone may fade gradually with time, friction, perfume, or contact with acidic skin pH. The base metal underneath will not turn black or green; it simply reveals its natural silver or gray tone.
Gold Plating Longevity: Approximately 6–18 months, depending on wear and care
Care: Avoid perfume, lotion, and water. Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising. Store in a soft, dry pouch when not in use.
