Every frne piece is plated with a thick 5-micron layer of genuine 18K yellow gold, using advanced ion-bonding technology. This process fuses the gold to our stainless steel base for a finish that’s highly resistant to scratches, chipping, and everyday wear. We don’t do thin coatings or shortcut methods — our plating is designed to last, so your jewelry stays looking as bold as the day you got it.
No — and here’s why. Our base is premium 316L stainless steel, known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and hypoallergenic properties. On top of that, we apply a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating, which is far stronger and more fade-resistant than standard electroplating. This means your frne pieces won’t dull, peel, or discolor — even if you wear them daily. They’re built to be lived in, not locked away in a drawer.
Yes — 100% waterproof, always. Whether you’re swimming, showering, sweating, or caught in the rain, frne jewelry is made to handle it. The combination of stainless steel and thick gold plating means no tarnishing, no rusting, and no color change. You don’t need to take it off for workouts, beach days, or poolside parties — just wear it and go.
Never. That’s usually caused by cheap metals like brass, zinc, or copper, which react with your skin and moisture. We only use high-grade 316L stainless steel — a hypoallergenic metal that’s skin-safe for nearly everyone. It doesn’t cause rashes, itchiness, or discoloration, so you can wear frne all day, every day, without thinking twice.
Even though our jewelry is waterproof and resistant to tarnish, it still benefits from a quick clean now and then. To keep your pieces looking fresh, simply mix a small amount of mild soap with lukewarm water, dip a soft cloth or microfiber towel into the solution, and gently wipe the surface. Rinse with clean water, dry completely, and you’re good to go. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing — with frne, a little care goes a long way.
We love this question — because it’s part of what makes frne special. Natural gemstones are like fingerprints: no two are exactly alike. Variations in color, veining, or pattern are natural and unique to each stone. So when you order a piece, you’re not just getting a beautiful accessory — you’re getting something truly one-of-a-kind.
