KAPÆRNA jewelry is crafted from 925 sterling silver, featuring gold or rhodium plating, natural crystals, and cubic zirconia. With proper care, you can preserve its luster, color, and feel, ensuring your jewelry lasts over time.
Our jewelry is designed to withstand everyday wear, but like all jewelry made of precious metals, it benefits from gentle handling.
Although the jewelry can withstand contact with water, we recommend removing it when showering, bathing, or exercising. This helps preserve the plating and protects the crystals—which are natural materials—from the effects of moisture, impact, and chemicals.
For the best possible durability:
- avoid contact with perfume, skincare products, and detergents
- put on your jewelry after perfume and creams have dried
- remove jewelry before exercising
- store jewelry in a dry place—ideally separately—to prevent scratches
Our crystals are selected for everyday wear. To preserve their natural luster, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to strong sunlight (such as when sunbathing), particularly with rose quartz, as the color intensity may fade over time.
Silver is a living material that can oxidize over time, especially upon contact with air and moisture. While rhodium plating slows this process, proper storage and regular care help the jewelry retain its finish for longer.
Natural variations in the crystals are part of their unique character. With mindful use, you can preserve both their appearance and quality.
With small, mindful habits, your KAPÆRNA piece can retain its feel and luster and remain with you for a long time.

We also have a guide to all our crystals, where you can read about their properties as well as their historical and cultural significance.
