Question 1

What is Stylr jewelry made of?

Accepted Answer

Every Stylr piece is 18k gold PVD plating over a 316L surgical stainless steel core — waterproof, tarnish-free, and low in nickel release.

Question 2

Caring for your Stylr jewelry

Accepted Answer

Put jewelry on last, wipe it with a soft cloth now and then, and store it dry. Stylr pieces are waterproof, but limiting contact with lotions and perfumes keeps the gold tone its brightest for longest.

Question 3

Can I shower, swim, and sweat in my Stylr jewelry?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stylr pieces are waterproof, so showering, sweating, and swimming are all fine. Rinsing with fresh water after the pool or ocean helps them look new even longer.

Question 4

My piece changed color — what should I do?

Accepted Answer

First try a gentle wipe with a soft cloth, since buildup from lotion or perfume often looks like discoloration. If the color has genuinely changed, email info@stylr.us — it's covered by our 1-year warranty.

Question 5

How do I find my ring size?

Accepted Answer

Measure a ring that already fits, or wrap a strip of paper around your finger and measure the length in millimeters, then match it to our ring size chart.

Question 6

How do I clean my Stylr stainless steel jewelry?

Accepted Answer

Warm water, a drop of mild soap, and a soft cloth — that's it. Skip abrasives and ultrasonic cleaners. Here's the quick routine, with a link to the full guide.

Question 7

How do I clean my gold-plated pieces without wearing off the plating?

Accepted Answer

Gentle only — warm soapy water and a soft cloth. No abrasives, no chemical dips, no scrubbing. That's how you clean 18k PVD pieces without touching the finish.

Question 8

Will my Stylr jewelry turn my skin green?

Accepted Answer

No. Green or black marks come from copper and brass in cheap alloys — Stylr is 316L stainless steel with no copper or brass base, so it doesn't react that way.

Question 9

Does Stylr jewelry tarnish?

Accepted Answer

No — 316L stainless steel is tarnish-resistant by design, and the PVD gold finish is bonded to the steel rather than dipped on. That's why Stylr holds up to daily wear.

Question 10

Can my Stylr jewelry rust?

Accepted Answer

No — 316L surgical stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant, the same grade trusted in marine and medical settings. It won't rust with normal wear.

Question 11

How do I keep my Stylr jewelry from tarnishing?

Accepted Answer

Stylr resists tarnish on its own, but three easy habits keep any plated jewelry brightest — put it on last, wipe it after wear, and store it dry and separate.

Question 12

How do I store and travel with my jewelry without tangling or scratching?

Accepted Answer

Store pieces dry, separate, and untangled — clasp chains closed and lay them flat. For travel, a small pouch or soft-lined case keeps everything from rubbing and knotting.

Question 13

My huggie or hoop clasp won't open or close — how do I fix it?

Accepted Answer

Huggies open on a small hinge — find the latch, open gently along its natural arc, and never force or pry it. Here's the technique, with a link to the full walkthrough.

Question 14

How do I tell if my gold plating is wearing vs. just dirty?

Accepted Answer

Grime looks like a dull, even film that cleans off; real plating wear shows as silver-tone steel peeking through at high-contact spots and doesn't return after cleaning. Here's how to check.
