Stainless steel´s extremely shiny surface with almost no uneven traces is highly appreciated. Furthermore, it is a hard, scratch-resistant and stainless material. Stainless steel does not tarnish and allergies to it are very rare.

PVD is the abbreviation for "Physical Vapour Deposition" and is a modern technique to coat e.g. jewelry. PVD coating is a purely physical process that takes place at high temperature and under vacuum. The jewelry gets a beautiful gold or rose gold hue and is additionally protected by the PVD coating.

Synthetic material means that human has made it artificially. It is made from special materials that do not exist in nature. Synthetic material is also often called plastic. Plastic is used in many industries such as in jewelry making since the properties of malleability, hardness, elasticity and breaking strength are excellent.

Acrylic glass, scientifically known as polymethylmethacrylate or PMMA, is commonly referred to as plexiglass. Because of its elasticity, this synthetic material is often used as an alternative to the ordinary glass. Acrylic glass is appreciated in jewelry making since this material - in contrast to ordinary glass - is light, less delicate and also more transparent. Acrylic glass let UV- light pass through which leads to shiny and twinkling effects in disco lights. Other advantages of acrylic glass are: It is non-toxic and resistant to ageing and to weathering.
