Frequently asked questions
Can I wear Essentials Icons jewellery every day?
Yes. Every piece in the Essential Icons collection is crafted from premium stainless steel and finished with extra-thick, highly durable PVD vacuum plating. Premium stainless steel is strong, tarnish-resistant and water-resistant, making it an excellent material for jewellery designed for everyday wear. With proper care, these pieces are made to be worn and enjoyed for years to come.
How should I care for my everyday jewellery?
To keep your jewellery looking its best, avoid prolonged exposure to water, chlorine, perfumes and harsh chemicals. When not wearing your pieces, store them in a cool, dry place and gently clean with a soft, dry cloth. With the right care, your everyday jewellery will maintain its shine and finish for longer.

Why does Silk & Steel use stainless steel for Essential Icons?
We chose premium stainless steel because it perfectly combines beauty, strength and durability. Unlike many traditional fashion jewellery materials, premium stainless steel is naturally tarnish-resistant, corrosion-resistant and exceptionally durable. When paired with our extra-thick PVD vacuum plating, it creates jewellery that offers elevated style, outstanding performance and effortless everyday wear.
What is PVD vacuum plating?
PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition. It is an advanced vacuum-plating process that creates a highly durable, even and long-lasting finish. Unlike conventional fashion jewellery plating, PVD technology bonds the precious metal coating more securely to the stainless steel surface, providing greater resistance to fading, tarnishing, scratching and everyday wear. At Silk & Steel, we use extra-thick PVD vacuum plating to create beautiful jewellery that is designed to retain its finish and be enjoyed for years to come.
