Materials & Care

Every piece of Dani Barbe jewelry is designed for lasting beauty. The metals, stones, and finishes I use are chosen for their strength and intention. With a little care, your jewelry will stay radiant for years to come.

Gold-plated

Each piece is handcrafted with 14k gold plating that is four times thicker than industry standard, using recycled gold in an environmentally conscious facility. Plated over high-quality, nickel-free metal, this process creates a rich, lasting finish that wears beautifully over time.

To keep your gold-plated jewelry at its best, avoid contact with water, perfume, and lotion. Remove before sleeping or exercising. Gently clean with a soft, dry cloth and store in your Dani Barbe jewelry box. Harsh chemicals or cleaners can wear away the finish, and can damage the porous stones, so they are not recommended.

Gold-Filled Chains and Findings

Necklaces and bracelets feature gold-filled chain and findings, a premium material that bonds a thick layer of gold to a durable core metal. This gives your jewelry a fine gold look and feel with excellent longevity. Treat it gently and store it in a dry place to preserve its shine.

Sterling Silver

Every piece is cast in solid 925 sterling silver and polished by hand for a soft glow that develops character with wear. To maintain its brightness, gently polish with a microfiber or silver cloth. When not wearing your silver jewelry, store it in a sealed bag or jewelry box to minimize oxidation.

Yellow Bronze

Made with jeweler’s bronze, this alloy is slightly lighter than traditional bronze but deeper in tone than brass, creating a warm, golden hue similar to 14k gold. Over time, it naturally develops a soft patina that many wearers love for its vintage charm.

If you prefer a brighter finish, lightly buff with a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner or a Sunshine cloth. Each bronze piece is sealed with jeweler’s wax to help delay tarnishing.

Gemstones

Each gemstone is genuine, ethically sourced, and hand-selected for its natural beauty and character. Because I work with raw and semi-precious stones, no two are ever alike. Small variations in color, shape, and inclusions are part of what make each piece one of a kind. To keep your stones looking their best, avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to water. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth and store in a cool, dry place when not being worn.

Beaded Pieces

Each bead is hand-selected and strung with care. To prevent stretching or damage, avoid pulling on the strands or exposing them to water, perfume, or lotion. Remove beaded jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising, and store it flat or hanging.

Mood Stones

Each mood stone is vintage and one of a kind, which means every piece has its own unique color shifts and natural imperfections. Because they’re vintage and heat-sensitive, they require extra care to keep their color-changing magic intact.

Mood stones should not be exposed to water for prolonged periods of time. Avoid moisture, heat, and chemicals, as these can damage the surface or alter the color. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth.
