We use high-quality materials like stainless steel, gold plating, and hypoallergenic components to ensure both durability and comfort.

How long does the gold plating last?

Can I wear your jewellery while exercising or swimming?
Absolutely! Deliberately Plain jewellery is made for an active lifestyle. Whether you’re hitting the gym, swimming in the ocean, or enjoying the great outdoors, our pieces are designed to handle it all. Just remember to dry off gold-plated pieces after swimming to keep them looking their best.

What is your return policy?
Full-priced items are eligible for exchange or store credit. Please choose your items carefully, as refunds are only issued for items with a manufacturing defect that cannot be replaced. Unfortunately, subject to law, we do not accept returns or exchanges on earrings, piercing jewelry, and gift cards. For more information, please refer to our full Returns and Refunds Policy.

How do I care for my jewellery?
To maintain your jewellery’s shine, wipe it with the included polish cloth after wear and store it in the reusable travel bag. For gold-plated pieces, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and store them separately to prevent scratching.
