Made to be worn.
Our pieces are designed for everyday life — pool, shower, gym, and all. Here's what they're made of and how to keep them looking their best.
Every Au Naturale piece is built on a premium, skin-safe base and finished to last. With a little simple care, your jewelry will keep its shine for years.
Our materials
Our jewelry is made from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel and 925 sterling silver, with our gold pieces finished in a rich 18k gold plating.
These are the same high-resistance metals used in fine jewelry — chosen because they hold their colour and stand up to daily wear.
Hypoallergenic and nickel-, cadmium-, and lead-free — gentle on sensitive skin and personally tested.
Everyday & water
Our 18k gold-plated pieces are tarnish-free and water-resistant — you can wear them in the shower, pool, and ocean. That said, water exposure over time is the enemy of any plated finish, so we recommend keeping pieces dry whenever you easily can.
If you do swim in chlorine or salt water, rinse your jewelry in fresh water afterward and pat it dry to protect the shine.
What to avoid
Beauty products — perfume, hairspray, and lotion can dull the finish. Follow the "last on, first off" rule: jewelry goes on after you're ready, and comes off first.
Harsh chemicals — keep pieces away from bleach, chlorine cleaners, and other strong chemicals.
Abrasives — never use steel wool, scouring pads, paper towel, or whitening toothpaste, as they scratch the surface and wear plating.
In rare cases, skin chemistry (pH) can react with any metal, plated or solid. If this happens to you, our solid pieces are the best fit.
How to clean
Add a drop or two of mild dish soap to a bowl of warm water. Dip a soft, lint-free cloth and gently wipe the piece. For crevices or chain links, a soft-bristled toothbrush works well.
Rinse briefly in clean water, then pat completely dry with a soft cloth before storing. For plated pieces, dab rather than scrub, and avoid long soaks under running water.
Storage
Store your jewelry clean, dry, and separate — ideally in the pouch or box it arrived in. Keeping pieces from rubbing against each other prevents scratches, and storing them away from moisture and humidity keeps the finish bright between wears.
