Waterproof, why?
Have you ever owned a stunning piece of gold-plated jewelry that loses its charm as soon as it’s exposed to air? It’s like a guaranteed buzzkill. You could keep it far from lotions, perfumes, and water, yet it still manages to tarnish and develop unappealing hues. Even light, everyday wear can cause that delicate gold layer to fade away. That usually happens when the plating layer is thin and the base metal is not stainless steel!
At Maléa we pride ourselves in having quality jewelry at an affordable price.
Our items are made of:
18K PVD Gold Plated Stainless Steel
18K PVD Gold Plated 925 Sterling Silver
925 Sterling Silver

These base metals are non-tarnish and hypoallergenic, this means it will not turn green. You can wear our items in the shower, at the gym or the beach. They’re literally EVERYTHING proof✨
18k PVD Gold Plated jewelry can last 2-3 years with proper care. Plain 925 Silver can last up to 20 years with proper care and plain Stainless Steel can last up to 50 years with proper care.
WHAT IS PVD PLATING?
So, what’s the deal with PVD Coating? Well, it’s a cutting-edge, eco-friendly process that bonds with the base metal at the molecular level. It is much more durable and longer lasting than regular gold plating, and results in a brilliant, tough, and enduring finish. Think of it as the premium upgrade to standard gold plating. We carefully vacuum coat our pieces in layers of real gold, ensuring that they remain vibrant and unaffected by water, showers, or sweat. You can confidently wear our jewelry everyday without the worry of color fading.
