A gold ring with sunbeams
The top of the ring has a distinct shape, yet remains airy due to the open center. The fine lines catch the light in different ways, making SUNSHINE shimmer beautifully whenever you move your hand.
You can wear it for festive occasions, but it fits just as well with jeans and a simple sweater. In fact, this is the exact kind of ring that completes your outfit on days when you don't feel like making an effort.
One size and adjustable
SUNSHINE has an open band at the back. This allows you to gently make it slightly larger or smaller. Bend both sides slowly and evenly until the ring sits comfortably on your finger.
Try not to keep bending it open and closed repeatedly afterward. Brass is sturdy, but frequent bending can weaken the metal over time. Furthermore, the gold-plated layer can wear off faster at the bending points. So, find one or two fingers where it fits well and let it live there happily.
Fairtrade produced
The SUNSHINE ring is fairtrade produced. This means that when making the jewelry, attention is paid not only to the design but also to fair trade conditions and the people behind the product. After all, beautiful jewelry feels much better to wear when the story behind it feels right too.
What does 18k gold-plated brass mean?
The base of the ring is made of brass. A thin layer of 18-karat gold has been applied over it. Consequently, the ring has the warm look of gold but is not made of solid gold.
A gold-plated layer does not stay exactly the same forever. Friction, moisture, soap, perfume, and the natural acidity of your skin can cause the gold layer to lighten over time. How quickly this happens varies per person and depends heavily on how often you wear and care for the ring.
Extensive care for your gold-plated ring
Avoid water and moisture
Take off SUNSHINE before showering, swimming, exercising, washing dishes, or cleaning. Chlorine, salt water, soap, and perspiration can all affect the gold-plated layer. Did the ring get wet? Gently pat it dry immediately with a soft cloth.
Be careful with perfume and skincare products
Perfume, hand cream, sunscreen, hairspray, and hand sanitizer can affect the shine and color of the gold layer. Therefore, apply skincare products first, let them absorb well, and only then put on the ring.
Clean it gently
After wearing, gently wipe the ring clean with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use lemon juice, vinegar, toothpaste, baking soda, alcohol, abrasives, or harsh jewelry polish. Also, cleaning agents specifically intended for bare brass or silver are not suitable: they can actually polish away the thin layer of gold.
Is the ring a bit dirty? Gently wipe it with a barely damp soft cloth and dry it completely afterward. Do not let the ring soak and do not scrub with a brush.
Store it separately and dry
Store SUNSHINE in a soft fabric pouch or a closed jewelry box, preferably separate from other jewelry. This prevents scratches and unnecessary friction. Do not leave it in a damp bathroom for long periods and avoid direct sunlight during storage.
When your skin turns green
If the gold-plated layer becomes thinner after much wear, the copper in the brass can react with moisture, skin oils, or the acidity of your skin. This can sometimes cause a greenish tinge. This is usually harmless and can be easily washed off your skin. It varies greatly by person and does not mean the ring is of poor quality.
