JEWELRY MATERIALS

WHAT MAKES BYALVA JEWELRY WATERPROOF & DURABLE?

At BYALVA, we’re all about creating jewelry that’s made to last. That’s why most of our pieces are crafted from 316L stainless steel—also known as surgical steel—and finished with a thick layer of 18K gold plating. This material isn't just beautiful, it's built for everyday life.

WHY STAINLESS STEEL?

316L stainless steel is incredibly durable, corrosion-resistant, and hypoallergenic—making it ideal even for sensitive skin. Originally used in medical applications due to its strength and safety, it’s the perfect choice for jewelry that’s both safe and long-lasting.

Whether you're swimming, showering, or caught in the rain, BYALVA jewelry can handle it. Our stainless steel pieces are completely waterproof and resistant to fading or tarnishing, even with regular exposure to water.

And yes—you can wear your gold-plated pieces too. Thanks to a high-quality ion plating process, the 18K gold layer adheres strongly to the stainless steel base. This ensures that the gold color stays vibrant and doesn't wear off over time, unlike standard plating methods.

To keep your jewelry glowing, we do recommend rinsing it with fresh water after swimming in the ocean to remove any salt residue—but don’t worry, our pieces are built to handle it.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Our mission is to design timeless, durable jewelry that can move with you—wherever life takes you. That’s why we use stainless steel, plated with 18K gold, for most of our collections.

Here’s what makes it special:

♻️ 100% Recyclable

Stainless steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world. Its rust-resistant composition makes it not only durable but also environmentally friendly and fully recyclable.

💧 Waterproof

Stainless steel won’t rust, tarnish, or discolor—no matter how many showers, swims, or workouts you take it through. Our premium ion plating ensures the gold finish is just as resilient.

🛡 Long-Lasting & Scratch-Resistant

Beyond being waterproof, stainless steel is incredibly strong and scratch-resistant. That means your BYALVA pieces stay beautiful and wearable for the long run—no special care needed.

 

BYALVA jewelry is designed for life—made to be worn, loved, and lived in.
