How to Care for Your Stainless Steel Jewelry
Jewelry is made to be worn — not kept in a box.
At Yggdrasil by Sweden, our jewelry is made from high-quality stainless steel, chosen for its durability, beautiful finish and ability to handle everyday life. Our gold jewelry is finished with 18k gold using durable IPD (Ion Plating) technology, creating a more resistant and long-lasting finish than traditional gold plating.
With just a little care, your jewelry can stay beautiful for a long time.
Made for everyday wear
One of the reasons we love stainless steel is how easy it is to live with. It's durable, water-resistant and resistant to tarnishing, making it an ideal material for jewelry you want to wear again and again.
Unlike more delicate metals, stainless steel doesn't require regular polishing to maintain its appearance. Our jewelry is also nickel-free, lead-free and hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for sensitive skin.
Can I wear my jewelry in water?
Yes. Our stainless steel jewelry is water-resistant and designed for everyday life. Our gold jewelry uses durable IPD (Ion Plating) technology, which creates a highly resistant finish compared with traditional gold plating.
You can wear your jewelry when washing your hands and in the shower. However, as with all jewelry, we recommend avoiding unnecessary exposure to chlorine, salt water and strong chemicals if you want to preserve the finish for as long as possible.
Even a durable surface can gradually show signs of wear from friction and everyday use — especially rings and bracelets, which naturally come into contact with hard surfaces more often.
Perfume, lotions and beauty products
Perfume, hairspray, sunscreen, lotions and other beauty products can leave a film on your jewelry and gradually dull its shine.
A simple rule: apply your beauty products first, let them dry, and put your jewelry on last.
How to clean your jewelry
Over time, lotions, natural skin oils and other products can leave a film on your jewelry, making it appear less shiny.
To clean your jewelry, we recommend using a small amount of regular toothpaste and lukewarm water. Gently rub with your fingers or a very soft cloth, rinse thoroughly with water and dry carefully with a soft cloth.
Avoid rough sponges, hard brushes and harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or affect the finish of your jewelry.
Protect your jewelry from scratches
Stainless steel is strong, but it isn't scratch-proof.
Rings and bracelets in particular naturally come into contact with tables, handles, phones and other hard surfaces throughout the day. Small marks and fine scratches are therefore a normal part of wearing jewelry.
We recommend removing rings when lifting weights or doing activities where the jewelry will repeatedly rub against hard surfaces.
When you're not wearing your jewelry, store each piece separately in a soft pouch or jewelry box. This helps prevent pieces from rubbing against and scratching each other.
Jewelry made to be lived in
We believe beautiful jewelry should be part of everyday life.
That's why we choose stainless steel and durable IPD plating — materials and finishes that allow you to wear the pieces you love more often and worry about them less.
Treat your jewelry with a little care, and it will continue to carry its meaning, memories and story with you for a long time.
