Brass

Plated jewelry refers to a layer of precious metal, such as gold or rhodium, applied to the surface of a base metal. At En Route, we only use genuine precious metals for all of our platings. Whether it's gold, silver, or rhodium plating, each layer is carefully applied to ensure lasting beauty.

Our plating is designed to be durable, but it’s important to avoid contact with chemicals, moisture, and harsh environments to preserve the quality of your jewelry. If your jewelry comes into contact with water, gently dry it with a soft cloth or tissue to keep your jewelry in mint condition.

 

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel plated jewelry combines the strength and durability of stainless steel with a layer of genuine precious metal for added beauty. At En Route, we use only precious metals like gold or rhodium for all our platings, ensuring a high-quality finish that enhances the natural resilience of stainless steel.

One of the best features of stainless steel is that it’s waterproof and naturally tarnish-resistant. This makes it perfect for everyday wear. However, to maintain the luster of the precious metal plating, we still recommend avoiding harsh chemicals and excessive moisture, as these can affect the finish over time. If your jewelry does come into contact with water or chemicals, simply wipe it dry with a soft cloth to preserve its appearance.

Stainless Steel Watch

Watches should be treated like jewelry. To best protect your watch, be sure to be conscious when spraying perfume, hair spray etc. A jewelry polishing cloth can be used to polish the watch and clean it of fingerprints.

Battery Replacement: We encourage the customer to take his/her watch to a qualified local watch repair center or jeweler to have the battery replaced. It is very important that a battery is replaced by someone that can properly seal the watch after replacing a battery so that it is protected from liquids damaging the mechanism of the watch.

 

Freshwater Pearl

To care for freshwater pearls, avoid contact with chemicals like perfume or hairspray. Wipe them gently with a soft cloth after each wear, and store them separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches. Keep pearls away from heat, water, and abrasives.

 

Sterling Silver

Sterling silver plated jewelry combines the timeless elegance of sterling silver with a layer of genuine precious metal, such as gold or rhodium. At En Route, we exclusively use precious metals for our plating to ensure a high-quality, luxurious finish over the sterling silver base.

While sterling silver is a precious metal, the plating adds an extra layer of protection and beauty. To keep your jewelry looking its best, it's important to avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and moisture, as these can wear down the plating over time. If your jewelry comes into contact with water, simply dry it with a soft cloth or tissue to maintain its luster and prevent tarnishing.
