Choose the Sparkle That Feels Like You: S925, Brass, Moissanite & CZ
β¨ INTRODUCTION
Why do some pieces feel more 'you'? It often starts with the material. The way a ring catches light against your skin, the cool weight of a necklace, the subtle warmth of gold brushing your collarbone β these sensations carry memory and meaning. At FITINY, we believe material is identity: it tells a story about the moments you choose to keep close.
β¨ MATERIAL COMPARISON
S925 (Sterling Silver) - Shine: Bright, classic luster that complements color gemstones and icy moissanite. Reflective without overpowering. - Wearability: Lightweight, comfortable, and perfect for everyday stacks. Often rhodium-plated to resist tarnish. - Value & Durability: Real sterling silver holds intrinsic value, responds well to polishing, and lasts with simple care.
Brass (Gold-Plated or Base Metal) - Shine: Warm, immediate glow that mimics gold at a friendly price. Ideal for trend-forward, colorful pieces. - Wearability: Can be heavier; plated finishes give versatility but need gentle treatment to retain color. - Value & Durability: Budget-friendly; plating will wear over time depending on care and skin chemistry.
Moissanite - Sparkle: A vibrant, rainbow fire β even more lively than many diamonds. Brilliant cut moissanite throws light in a lively, confident way. - Wearability: Hard and durable, resistant to everyday wear. Feels substantial and luxurious on a ring or pendant. - Value & Durability: Exceptional value for brilliance and longevity; a moissanite centerpiece feels like commitment without the same price tag as natural diamond.
Cubic Zirconia (CZ) - Sparkle: Clear, bright, and cleverly versatile. CZ offers an accessible, fashion-forward sparkle; great for iced-out stacks. - Wearability: Lightweight and ideal for playful, experimental styles β especially in clip-on or magnetic designs. - Value & Durability: Affordable and gorgeous for occasional wear; higher-quality CZs can retain sparkle for years with care.
β¨ CARE & COMFORT
- Clean gently: Use warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush for all pieces. Avoid harsh chemicals that strip plating or cloud stones.
- Storage matters: Keep S925 and moissanite separate from softer metals; store plated brass away from moisture to slow wear.
- Hypoallergenic notes: S925 is broadly hypoallergenic when pure; plated brass can cause reactions for sensitive skinβlook for nickel-free plating and protective coatings.
- Comfort cues: Heavier moissanite rings offer a reassuring weight; slimmer CZ stacks give airy comfort. Choose by how you like jewelry to feel on your skin β snug and grounding, or featherlight and free.
