Jewellery Care Guide for 316L Stainless Steel
How to care for waterproof and 18K Gold PVD jewellery
Learn how to clean, wear and store your DLN 316L Stainless Steel jewellery. These simple care tips help waterproof and 18K Gold PVD pieces keep their shine and finish for longer.
Waterproof
Designed for showers, swims & everyday wear.
Tarnish-Free
Highly resistant to tarnishing and made to keep its shine.
Our jewellery is made to be worn and enjoyed. These simple care habits help protect the finish, reduce unnecessary wear and keep your pieces looking beautiful over time.
Everyday Wear
DLN Jewellery is created for everyday life. Our pieces are made from high-quality 316L Stainless Steel, a durable material chosen for its strength, corrosion resistance and suitability for regular wear.
Our jewellery is hypoallergenic and designed to feel comfortable during everyday use.
Can I shower with my jewellery?
Yes. Our 316L Stainless Steel jewellery is designed for normal everyday contact with water, including showering.
After prolonged exposure to water, gently dry your jewellery with a soft cloth. This is especially helpful for gold PVD pieces and helps keep the finish looking its best.
Can I wear my jewellery at the beach?
Yes. Your DLN jewellery is made for everyday moments, including days by the sea.
After contact with salt water or sand, rinse your jewellery with fresh water and dry it gently with a soft cloth.
Swimming Pools & Chlorine
We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to chlorinated water whenever possible, especially with gold PVD jewellery.
Chlorine and other chemicals can affect jewellery finishes over time. If your jewellery does come into contact with pool water, rinse it with fresh water and dry it afterwards.
18K Gold PVD Jewellery
Selected DLN gold pieces feature an 18K Gold PVD finish over a 316L Stainless Steel base. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a modern coating process designed to create a durable gold finish.
PVD is more durable than many traditional gold-plating methods, but it is still a surface finish. Gentle care helps preserve its colour and appearance for longer.
Perfume, Skincare & Beauty Products
Apply perfume, lotions and skincare before putting on your jewellery and allow them to dry first.
This helps reduce product buildup and unnecessary exposure to cosmetic ingredients, keeping your pieces cleaner for longer.
How do I clean my jewellery?
For everyday cleaning, gently wash your jewellery with lukewarm water and mild soap.
Dry it with a soft cloth and gently remove any residue. For small details, you can use a very soft toothbrush with light pressure.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, rough materials and aggressive scrubbing, as these can scratch or wear the surface.
Things To Avoid
To help keep your jewellery looking beautiful for longer, avoid unnecessary or prolonged exposure to:
- Harsh chemicals and cleaning products
- Chlorinated water
- Abrasive materials
- Excessive friction
- Perfume or skincare that has not yet dried
How should I store my jewellery?
When you are not wearing your jewellery, store it in a clean, dry place, preferably inside your DLN jewellery box or pouch.
Keeping pieces separated helps reduce unnecessary rubbing, scratching and tangling.
