About Our Jewelry

Is this real luxury jewelry?

We're a next-generation alternative to traditional luxury. Our pieces use materials that outperform many high-end brands — 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, PVD-bonded 18K gold, and ethically created gemstones — at a price that reflects materials and craftsmanship, not a brand markup. The look is luxury. The feel is luxury. The difference is what you don't pay for: a name you're supposed to impress others with.

Why are your prices lower than traditional jewelry brands?

Traditional luxury brands spend heavily on retail overhead, celebrity endorsements, and multi-tier distribution. We don't. You pay for materials and craftsmanship — not a Fifth Avenue lease or a magazine ad campaign. We also use lab-grown gemstones and 316L steel, which cost significantly less than mined diamonds and solid gold — while offering identical or superior performance. Learn more about our materials →

Will this jewelry turn my skin green?

Never. Green skin is caused by brass and copper — cheap industrial metals used by fast-fashion jewelry brands. Our baseline material is 316L stainless steel, the same alloy used in surgical implants. It's nickel-free, biocompatible, and completely non-reactive with human skin. No green marks. No rashes. Period.

Is LOTTEDS jewelry waterproof?

Yes — our 316L steel and PVD-finished pieces are fully water-resistant. You can wash your hands, get caught in the rain, or sweat through a workout without worry. However, we recommend removing jewelry before swimming (chlorine and saltwater can dull any metal over time) and always drying your pieces after exposure. Full care guide →

Quality & Durability

How long will the gold color last?

With proper care, our PVD 18K gold finish lasts 3+ years of daily wear — and many customers report their pieces looking new after 5+ years. This is because PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) bonds gold at the molecular level, unlike standard electroplating that simply sits on the surface. After 2+ years without maintenance, some natural darkening may occur on silver-based pieces — this is normal oxidation and can be restored with the polishing cloth included in your order.

Will the jewelry fade or tarnish?

316L stainless steel will not tarnish. Sterling silver may develop a natural patina over time — this is proof of its purity and can be reversed in seconds with the polishing cloth we include. Our PVD gold finish resists fading significantly better than standard plating. If you ever experience unexpected fading, contact us — we'll make it right. Materials deep dive →

What if my jewelry gets damaged?

Every LOTTEDS piece is covered by our Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects — including stone loosening, clasp malfunction, and structural issues. We provide free replacement parts for life. Simply email info@lottedsteam.com with photos of the issue. For non-warranty damage, we can often help with repairs or replacements at minimal cost.

Skin Safety & Allergies

I have extremely sensitive skin. Is this safe for me?

This is exactly why LOTTEDS exists. Our founder, Livia, spent 12 years listening to customers whose skin reacted to traditional jewelry. She built this brand specifically for people who've been told "maybe jewelry just isn't for you." Our 316L stainless steel is nickel-free and hypoallergenic — it's the same material used in orthopedic implants and surgical tools. If you've ever had a reaction to jewelry, LOTTEDS was made for you.

What materials do you use — exactly?

We use three core materials, all chosen for their skin compatibility and durability:

  • 316L Stainless Steel — Surgical-grade, nickel-free, our foundation material.
  • 316L Stainless Steel with Titanium Finish — For pieces requiring extra surface hardness.
  • 925 Sterling Silver — Solid sterling. No brass core. No shortcuts.

All gold coloring is achieved through PVD vacuum plating with genuine 18K gold. We never use brass, copper, or nickel as a base metal. Full materials breakdown →

Design & Inspiration

Are your designs original?

Every LOTTEDS piece is an original creation. Our designers — including Bob and our collective of independent artisans — draw inspiration from the architectural jewelry traditions of Rome. We honor classic silhouettes, but every piece is independently designed and executed with our own modern, skin-safe materials. LOTTEDS is not affiliated with any third-party luxury brand. Learn about our design philosophy →

What do the engravings on the jewelry mean?

Our pieces feature hallmark engravings that reflect classical jewelry-making traditions. These are part of our design language — an homage to the great jewelry houses, executed with precision and respect. Every marking is an original LOTTEDS interpretation, not a replica of any existing brand's marks.
