Pearl Huggie Earrings - Oia Boutique
Our Materials & Care Instructions

Every Oia piece starts with a thoughtful material choice.

We design jewellery to suit different moments of life — from everyday wear to bold statements and meaningful investment pieces. That’s why we work with a small, considered range of materials, each chosen for its durability, comfort, and purpose.

Jewellery made with intention

Designed to Last, Chosen with Care

PVD-Coated Stainless Steel

Our PVD-coated stainless steel pieces are made to move with you — day in, day out.

Stainless steel is known for its strength and stability, making it an ideal choice for jewellery you don’t want to take off — from showers to workouts to long days on the go.

Best for: Everyday essentials, layering pieces, low-maintenance wear

Gold-Plated Recycled Brass

Gold-plated brass allows us to create bold, expressive designs while keeping them accessible.

These pieces are designed to make an impact — perfect for occasions, styling moments, or when you want jewellery that speaks for itself.

Best for: Statement jewellery for every day wear

Recycled 925 Sterling Silver

Our 925 sterling silver pieces are crafted from a precious metal made up of 92.5% pure silver, known for its longevity and timeless appeal. We offer sterling silver in:

  • Rhodium plating
  • 18k recycled gold-plated finishes
  • Vermeil finishes with 2.5 micron 18k recycled gold

Best for: Investment jewellery, gifting, sensitive skin

Choosing the Right Material

Each Oia piece clearly states its material composition so you can choose what works best for your lifestyle, skin, and style preferences.

If you’re unsure which material is right for you, we’re always happy to help.

Jewellery Care & Longevity

Jewellery is rarely just an accessory. It’s chosen with intention — to celebrate milestones, mark meaningful moments, or simply because it speaks to us. Some pieces stay with us for years, even generations. But without care, even our most treasured pieces may naturally begin to tarnish.

No matter the material, proper care helps extend the life of your jewellery:

  • Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals
  • Store pieces separately to prevent scratching
  • Remove jewellery before intense activity where possible
  • Limit prolonged exposure to damp or humid environments, including bathrooms or areas prone to moisture

Thoughtful care ensures your jewellery stays beautiful for years to come.
