Jewelry Care Guide

Materials used in Powered By Melanin jewelry collection are carefully selected to ensure the best quality possible. 

Our pieces are made from:
  • 18k Gold Plated Stainless Steel
  • 18k Gold Plated 925 Sterling Silver
  • 925 Sterling Silver
  • Stainless Steel

An extra layering of tarnish resistance is added to extend the life span of the jewelry. Sterling Silver naturally oxidizes overtime. Stainless Steel and Gold-Filled is resistant to tarnishing and rust.
