💎 Luxlab Collection Jewelry Buying Guide - Everything you need to know before choosing your perfect piece of jewelry.

1. What is the difference between your silver, gold, and steel jewelry?

Luxlab Collection jewelry is crafted from three carefully selected, high-quality metals :

  • Rhodium-plated 925 silver : 92.5% pure silver, protected by a thin layer of rhodium which prevents oxidation and preserves the original shine.

  • 18k gold-plated silver – 3 microns : the elegance of gold, the affordability of silver. The thick 3-micron plating ensures significantly greater durability than average.

  • 316L stainless steel PVD 18k gold : a surgical steel covered with an ultra-resistant PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition Process) plating , waterproof, hypoallergenic and stainless .

👉 Three finishes, one same commitment: quality, comfort and lasting shine.


2. How do I know which metal suits me best?

💡 Tip: all our jewelry is hypoallergenic, nickel-free, lead-free and cadmium-free: perfect for sensitive skin.


3. What is the difference between 925 silver and 18k gold plating?

  • Rhodium-plated 925 silver : solid metal, natural color, protected by rhodium to prevent tarnishing.

  • 18k gold plated silver 3 microns : 925 silver base covered with a thick layer of 18 carat gold, for a bright and durable golden finish.

➡️ LUXLAB gold plating offers the appearance of solid gold, without the cost, while maintaining high-end durability .


4. What does 3-micron plating mean?

The 3-micron plating corresponds to the thickness of the gold layer deposited on the jewelry .
At Luxlab Collection , our gold-plated jewelry is plated with 3 microns of 18-carat gold , which is 3 times thicker than the majority of jewelry on the market.
Result: increased resistance to wear, water and tarnishing .


5. What is the difference between gold plating and fine gold plating?

  • 18k gold plated (3 microns) : thick and durable gold layer, guaranteed long-lasting.

  • Gold plated with fine gold : much thinner layer (often < 1 micron), more fragile.

All LUXLAB Collection jewelry is plated with 18k gold – 3 microns , guaranteeing premium quality and resistance over time .


6. Is 316L stainless steel jewelry of good quality?

Yes, it is even one of the highest-performing materials in modern jewelry .
The 316L 18k gold PVD stainless steel used by LUXLAB is:

  • Waterproof (resistant to water, salt and perspiration)

  • Hypoallergenic (no risk of irritation)

  • Stainless and unalterable

  • 1-year warranty

It's the ideal choice for a piece of jewelry to wear every day, without any special maintenance.


7. Which jewelry pieces are the most water-resistant?

The most resistant ones are:

  • Jewelry made of 316L stainless steel with 18k gold PVD coating , completely waterproof

  • 18k gold-plated jewelry – 3 microns thick , which retains its shine even after exposure to fresh water

💧 You can wear your LUXLAB Collection jewelry without worrying about showering, rain or the sea.
