Stainless Steel vs Sterling Silver
Stainless steel is a strong, low-maintenance metal that’s designed for everyday wear. It doesn’t tarnish, it’s water-resistant, and it’s very affordable, making it a great option for people who want jewellery they can wear 24/7 without worrying about care.
Sterling silver, on the other hand, is a precious metal (92.5% real silver), so it naturally comes with more value and longevity. It can last a lifetime and even become a keepsake piece. It may tarnish over time, but the bonus is that it can always be polished back to its original shine. It’s also naturally hypoallergenic and often chosen by those who prefer high-quality, long-term jewellery.
Stainless Steel vs Gold-Filled
Stainless steel jewellery is durable, water-safe, and great for everyday wear. It’s an affordable choice that keeps its colour well and doesn’t require much maintenance — ideal for someone who wants stylish jewellery that can endure gym sessions, showers, and busy lifestyles.
Gold-filled jewellery is the upgrade for anyone who wants real gold without paying for solid gold. It has a thick layer of real 14k gold bonded to the metal, so it looks and feels like solid gold and is far more durable than standard gold-plated jewellery. It’s long-lasting, skin-friendly, and the gold won’t rub off easily — many pieces can last 10+ years with care.
