PRODUCT CARE
At Bambé, we create jewelry that blends everyday wearability with elevated design. Each material is carefully selected for its shine, durability, and comfort. Below is a full guide to the materials we use and how to care for them to keep your pieces looking their best.
Materials
Gold-Plated Pieces
These pieces are crafted with a high-quality metal base and finished with a premium layer of real gold. Gold plating offers a luxurious look and radiant shine at an accessible price point. With proper care, gold-plated jewelry maintains its glow beautifully.
Gold-Plated Zinc Alloy
Some of our trend-forward designs use a zinc alloy base, chosen for its ability to hold detailed shapes and remain lightweight. Each piece is coated in high-quality gold plating to enhance shine and reduce tarnishing.
Stainless Steel (Waterproof Collection)
Our stainless steel styles are naturally waterproof, tarnish-resistant, and hypoallergenic. These pieces are perfect for daily wear and can handle moisture, sweat, and regular activity while staying bright and polished.
925 Sterling Silver
Made from 92.5% pure silver, our sterling silver pieces offer timeless beauty and long-lasting quality. Sterling silver may gently oxidize with time, but it easily polishes back to a brilliant shine. With proper care, sterling silver lasts for years.
Silver-Plated Pieces
These pieces feature a sleek silver plating over a durable metal base. They're lightweight, bright, and perfect for achieving a clean silver look. As with all plated jewelry, care helps maintain their luster.
Cubic Zirconia Stones
We use premium cubic zirconia for clarity and brilliance. Each stone is cut for maximum sparkle and a diamond-like finish.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
For Gold-Plated & Silver-Plated Jewelry
To preserve the plating:
- Keep dry
- Avoid sweat, perfume, lotions, and oils
- Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising
- Wipe gently with a soft cloth after each wear
Plated jewelry lasts longer with proper care and gentle handling.
For Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is waterproof and tarnish-resistant. You can wear it:
- In the shower
- To the gym
- Daily without removing
Simply wipe with a soft cloth to maintain its shine.
For Sterling Silver
Sterling silver naturally oxidizes over time. To keep it bright:
- Store in an airtight pouch
- Avoid prolonged moisture
- Polish with a silver cloth when it darkens
It restores instantly back to a mirror-like finish.
Storage
Store all jewelry in a dry pouch or jewelry box to avoid scratches and humidity exposure.
What to Expect Over Time
- Stainless steel stays bright with minimal care.
- Sterling silver may darken slightly but polishes back to new.
- Gold-plated & silver-plated pieces may develop a natural patina with wear — this is normal and part of the metal's lifecycle.
