Atolea does not use cheap alloys with painted plating in jewelry. Those tend to break very easily, cause skin rashes and lose color. We use mainly the following materials:
Sterling Silver 925: All our silver jewelry is made in solid Sterling Silver 925. It is the most common form of silver used in jewelry, containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. The copper is added to make the silver harder and more suitable for jewelry.
Stainless Steel: All our steel items are made in 316L. Also known as surgical steel, it is comfortable for people with nickel allergy - unless they are very sensitive. The nickel migration is extremely small - only 0.1 micro grams per cm2 and week. That is one fifth of the minimum EU requirement for products that have long term skin contant.
