Our Materials & Care Guide
Find out more about the materials we use at Dada, and how to care for your unique, everyday pieces.
OUR MATERIALS
STAINLESS STEEL
We use stainless steel as the foundation of our jewellery because of its exceptional strength and durability. Unlike softer base metals, it resists tarnishing, holds its shape over time, and is designed for everyday wear, making it ideal for pieces you never want to take off.
OUR MATERIALS
18K GOLD PLATING
Our gold pieces are finished with 18k gold plating to achieve a rich, warm tone that reflects the look of fine jewellery. This allows us to create elegant, timeless designs while keeping them accessible enough to be worn daily.
OUR MATERIALS
Rhodium Plating
For our silver pieces, we use rhodium plating, a precious metal known for its bright finish and durability. It enhances shine while helping protect against tarnishing, keeping your jewellery looking polished for longer.
All Dada jewellery is crafted using 100% recycled materials — a conscious choice to create pieces with less impact, without compromising on quality or design.
CARE GUIDE
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
To maintain the appearance of your jewellery, avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, and chlorine. These can affect the surface over time.
Store It Safely
When not being worn, store your jewellery in its Dada pouch or a dry, enclosed space to help prevent scratches and maintain its finish for a longer period.
Clean Gently
Gently wipe your jewellery with a soft cloth to remove everyday residue and restore its shine, helping to maintain its finish and keep it looking as beautiful as the day you first wore it.
Keep It Dry When Possible
Although your Dada jewellery is designed to be water-resistant, removing it before prolonged exposure to water can help extend the lifespan of your pieces.
PVD COATED JEWELLERY
What is PVD coating?
PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is a high-tech process that bonds a layer of gold or silver onto stainless steel at a molecular level, creating a stronger and longer-lasting finish than traditional plating.
Will my jewellery tarnish?
Dada jewellery is designed to be highly resistant to tarnishing. Thanks to the PVD coating, the finish holds its colour far longer than traditional plated jewellery.
Is your jewellery waterproof?
Yes, our jewellery is designed to be waterproof and suitable for everyday wear, including exposure to water, sweat, and daily activities.
Can I wear it every day?
Absolutely. Dada jewellery is made for everyday wear, combining durable stainless steel with a long-lasting PVD finish that resists scratches and fading over time.
Will the plating fade?
Over time, all jewellery naturally experiences some wear, but PVD coating is significantly more durable than standard plating and designed to maintain its finish for longer.
Is your jewellery hypoallergenic?
Yes, our jewellery is made with stainless steel and PVD coating, making it suitable for sensitive skin and comfortable for daily wear.
How long does PVD jewellery last?
With proper care, PVD-coated jewellery can maintain its finish for years. Its durability comes from the strong bond between the coating and the stainless steel base.
Can I shower or swim with it?
Yes, your jewellery can handle water exposure. However, limiting contact with harsh chemicals like chlorine or cleaning products will help preserve its finish over time.
