At NineesGem.com, we take pride in offering a variety of jewelry, including fashion costume jewelry, vintage jewelry, sterling silver, and 14K gold pieces. We want our customers to be informed about the materials used in our products and any potential sensitivities they may have. 

 

1. Materials Used

Our jewelry may contain a mix of metals and materials, including but not limited to: 

✔️ Fashion Costume Jewelry: May include base metals such as brass, copper, alloy blends, or plated metals (gold-plated, silver-plated, rhodium-plated). 

✔️ Vintage Jewelry: May contain unknown metal compositions, as materials used in vintage pieces can vary. 

✔️ Sterling Silver Jewelry: Made from 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (typically copper or other metals for durability). 

✔️ 14K Gold Jewelry: Composed of 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys such as silver, copper, or nickel for strength. 

 

2. Potential Allergies & Skin Sensitivities 

Some individuals may have allergic reactions or skin sensitivities to certain metals, including nickel, copper, or plated metals. While we strive to provide accurate descriptions, we cannot guarantee that all items are hypoallergenic or free from trace amounts of allergenic metals. 

 

If you have metal allergies or sensitive skin, we recommend: 

✔️ Choosing sterling silver or 14K gold pieces for minimal irritation. 

✔️ Conducting a patch test before prolonged wear. 

✔️ Applying a protective jewelry coating or clear nail polish on plated jewelry to reduce skin contact with metals. 

 

3. Tarnishing & Care

• Fashion & vintage jewelry may naturally tarnish over time due to exposure to air, moisture, and body oils. 

• Sterling silver may develop patina but can be polished to restore its shine. 

• Gold jewelry is more resistant to tarnishing but still requires proper care to maintain its appearance. 

 

To extend the life of your jewelry: 

✔️ Store in a dry, airtight space. 

✔️ Avoid direct contact with water, lotions, and perfumes. 

✔️ Clean gently with a soft cloth when needed.
