THE MATERIAL & CARE GUIDE

Considered materials. Designed for the many ways you live.

At LINËLE, we believe jewelry should move with you through the everyday and the extraordinary. That's why we work with thoughtfully selected materials, from durable, water-resistant stainless steel to sterling silver, solid gold, and lab-grown diamonds.

Each material offers something different. Together, they bring the best of both worlds: everyday versatility and lasting luxury.

STAINLESS STEEL & PVD GOLD PLATING

Made for movement. Designed to last.

Stainless steel is known for its strength, durability, and exceptional resistance to tarnishing and corrosion.

Our PVD gold-plated jewelry uses a specialized coating process that creates a durable finish with improved resistance to everyday wear compared with many conventional plating methods.

Why we love it:

  • Highly tarnish-resistant and water-resistant.

  • Durable and designed for everyday wear.

  • Certain grades are suitable for many sensitive-skin wearers, although individual sensitivities vary.

  • A versatile choice for an active lifestyle.

While highly resistant to tarnishing, plated finishes can naturally wear over time. Thoughtful care helps maintain their appearance.

925 STERLING SILVER

A precious metal. A timeless essential.

Crafted from 92.5% pure silver, sterling silver is valued for its beautiful luster, versatility, and lasting appeal.

Unlike plated base metals, sterling silver is a precious metal throughout. It can naturally tarnish over time when exposed to air, moisture, and environmental compounds, but its shine can often be restored with proper cleaning.

Why we love it:

  • Made with genuine precious metal.

  • Timeless, versatile, and suitable for everyday styling.

  • Can be professionally polished and maintained over time.

SOLID GOLD

A new kind of forever.

We introduced solid gold alongside our stainless steel collections because we believe there is a place for both everyday essentials and meaningful investment pieces.

Our 14k and 18k solid gold jewelry is crafted with genuine gold throughout, rather than relying on a plated surface. Naturally resistant to corrosion and tarnishing, it is designed to be treasured for years to come.

Why we love it:

  • Precious gold throughout the piece.

  • Naturally resistant to tarnishing and corrosion.

  • Enduring beauty with proper care.

  • Designed for everyday elegance and meaningful moments.

Our Fine Jewelry collection is thoughtfully designed and made to order in Los Angeles.

LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS

Real diamonds. Modern possibilities.

Lab-grown diamonds are genuine diamonds, sharing essentially the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds.

With exceptional brilliance and a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, they offer lasting beauty and remarkable resistance to scratching.

We embrace lab-grown diamonds for their beauty, quality, and freedom to create expressive fine jewelry designs.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR JEWELRY

Even the finest materials deserve thoughtful care.

Although we select our materials for their quality and durability, proper care helps preserve their beauty over time.

01 — Clean Gently

After wearing, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, clean, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials, harsh cleaning products, and excessive rubbing.

Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners.

02 — Be Mindful of Water

Our stainless steel jewelry is water-resistant, but we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to chlorine, saltwater, and hot tubs to help preserve plated finishes.

Keep sterling silver dry when possible, and thoroughly dry all jewelry before storing.

03 — Avoid Chemicals

Apply perfumes, lotions, sunscreen, and skincare products before putting on your jewelry. Avoid direct contact with household cleaners and harsh chemicals.

04 — Protect Your Pieces

Remove jewelry during heavy workouts, high-impact activities, or situations where pieces may be scratched, pulled, or damaged.

05 — Store with Care

Store each piece separately in a cool, dry place, ideally in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box.

For un plated sterling silver, use a silver polishing cloth when needed. Avoid abrasive polishing on plated or specially finished pieces.

For fine jewelry, periodically have stone settings inspected by a professional jeweler.

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

From water-resistant everyday essentials to precious fine jewelry, we believe great design should fit the many ways you live.

For movement and stillness. For everyday rituals and extraordinary moments.

For all that you are becoming.
