Materials & Care Guide
At Fleur Ateljee, each piece of jewellery is thoughtfully made to hold memories close and last beautifully over time. To keep your treasures looking their best, we’ve created this simple guide outlining the materials we use and how to care for them.
Our Materials
Stainless Steel (PVD Plated)
Our jewellery is made from high-quality stainless steel, coated using advanced PVD technology.
This plating process gives your pieces a durable finish that is:
Hypoallergenic – gentle on sensitive skin
Waterproof & Sweat Resistant – perfect for daily wear
Tarnish Resistant – keeps its shine with minimal effort
We offer both silver and 14k/18k gold plated finishes.
Zircon Stones
Sparkling and beautifully cut, our zircon stones offer diamond-like brilliance at an accessible price.
Semi-Precious Gemstones & Freshwater Pearls
Some of our designs are adorned with hand-selected semi-precious stones and freshwater pearls each one unique.
Jewellery Care Tips
A few mindful habits will help your Fleur Ateljee pieces stay beautiful for years:
- Any lotions, deodorants, perfumes, household items can seriously harm your gold plated jewels and discolour them over time.
- All stainless steel based jewellery can be worn in water. However, constant contact with water and liquids that contains minerals or chemicals can reduce the lifespan of your jewellery so we advise to remove when exercising, washing your hands, showering, swimming or doing anything that involves moisture.
- Store your jewellery pieces individually, you can keep them in our Fleur Ateljee jewellery pouch or box so that they don’t rub together, scratch or tangle.
- Remove jewellery when sleeping.
- Always remember that your jewellery should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off when dressing.
Laser Engraved Jewellery
During the engraving process, a layer of the PVD coating is removed by laser and this exposed area may be more sensitive to moisture and wear.
Zircon & Semi precious gemstones
While durable, these stones can chip or lose shine with impact or chemical exposure. Handle with care and clean gently with a soft cloth.
Freshwater Pearls
Pearls are delicate by nature and benefit from gentle wear. Keep them away from chemicals, perfumes, and prolonged water exposure. Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth after wearing.
At Fleur Ateljee, we believe your jewellery should feel as beautiful as the memories it carries. With a little care, your pieces can stay part of your story for years to come.
