Many of our jewelry pieces are set with precious or semi-precious stones, including various natural stones. Gemstones consist of crystalline minerals that give your favorite piece color, depth, and individual energy. They make each piece of jewelry unique and bring natural beauty into your everyday life. Care instructions for gemstones Clean gemstones regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid chemicals, perfumes, or cosmetics that could damage the surface. Store jewelry with gemstones separately in a jewelry box to avoid scratches. For heavy soiling, you can clean them with lukewarm water and mild soap. Caution: Always check which gemstone is used in your piece of jewelry beforehand. Porous stones such as turquoise should not be cleaned under water, as this can damage them.

Cubic zirconia jewelry exudes brilliance and elegance and is perfect for everyday wear as well as looks for special occasions. Care instructions for zirconia Clean the zirconia with a soft polishing cloth to remove dirt and fingerprints. You can also soak them in a solution of 3 parts warm water and 1 part mild dish soap to clean the stones. Afterwards, simply rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Jewelry that makes you shine every day

Q: 316L stainless steel

The heart of our jewelry is 316L stainless steel , also known as surgical steel. This special stainless steel alloy contains chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. The "L" stands for Low Carbon and reduces the carbon content. This makes the steel more resistant to corrosion, scratches, and abrasion, ensuring that it retains its color and structure even with daily wear. The nickel content is so low, however, that the jewelry is hypoallergenic and in most cases does not cause skin irritation. Thanks to its water-resistant quality, the material does not rub off at all or hardly at all and does not release nickel even when exposed to sweat or salt water, so you can wear our jewelry without any problems, even if you have sensitive skin. Since we work with gold plating , stainless steel, with its smooth surface, is particularly well-suited as a base. This creates a long-lasting shine that easily withstands everyday life and everything it throws at you! And if your piece of jewelry ever becomes obsolete, stainless steel can be recycled and thus reused again and again.

Q: 14K gold plating & rose gold

Our jewelry is made with 14-karat gold. or rose gold finish. We use the PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) process, in which a very thin layer of metal – e.g., gold or rose gold – is vapor-deposited onto the piece of jewelry in a vacuum. This is done by evaporating the coating material in a vacuum chamber, which then settles evenly on the surface in the form of the finest particles. Unlike conventional electroplating with gold, PVD (polyvinyl chloride) does not use chemical solutions, making the process more environmentally friendly and particularly abrasion-resistant. The coating adheres to the base metal at a molecular level, resulting in a durable, color-stable, and corrosion-resistant surface that remains intact even with regular wear. Rose gold is created by adding copper, which gives the piece a warm, slightly reddish hue. Combined with 316L stainless steel and PVD gold plating, this results in a durable, water-resistant, and skin-friendly piece of jewelry that will accompany you every day.

At LUAMAYA, we believe that jewelry is more than just an accessory; it tells your story, accompanies you through every moment, and is an expression of your personality. To ensure you enjoy your favorite pieces for years to come, we craft our jewelry from high-quality 316L stainless steel, finished with 14K gold or rose gold. This combination is durable, water-resistant, and hypoallergenic, making it perfect for everyday wear!

With a few simple care tips, your jewelry will stay as radiant as the first day.

Our mission: Shine every day.
