Questions & Answers

1. Gemstones Related

1.1 Will the stones fall out easily?

No, each gemstone is securely set using professional jewelry techniques. However, over time, daily wear can cause the prongs to loosen slightly. We recommend having your piece inspected by a local jeweler every 6–12 months to ensure the stones remain secure and the setting stays in perfect condition.

1.2Are your gemstones natural or lab-grown?

We use both natural and lab-grown gemstones. The exact gemstone type is clearly stated on each product page.

1.3 Will the gemstone in my jewelry look exactly like the product photos?

Natural gemstones vary in color, clarity, inclusions, and internal patterns, so each stone may look slightly different from the photos. These variations make every piece unique.

1.4 What is the difference between black diamond, black moissanite, and salt and pepper diamond?

Black diamonds have a deep, usually opaque appearance. Black moissanite offers a more uniform dark color at a more accessible price. Salt and pepper diamonds feature visible inclusions and distinctive natural patterns.

1.5 Will gemstones lose their shine, and how should I care for them?

Oil, lotion, soap, and dust can make gemstones appear dull. Clean them gently with a soft cloth and avoid impacts, harsh chemicals, and abrasive cleaners.

2. Metal Material

2.1 How should I choose the right metal for my jewelry?
  • Sterling Silver: An accessible choice for lighter or occasional wear, with a little more routine care.
  • 14K Gold: Our recommended all-around choice for everyday jewelry, balancing durability, gold content, and price.
  • 18K Gold: Ideal if you prefer a higher gold content and a richer, more luxurious feel.
  • Platinum: A dense, durable, naturally white option often chosen for long-term wear or sensitive skin.

For an engagement ring or a piece you plan to wear often, we generally recommend 14K gold or above.

2.2 Are your metals hypoallergenic?

Yes, most of our metals, including 14K/18K gold and platinum, are naturally hypoallergenic. However, standard white gold contains nickel in its alloy, which may irritate sensitive skin. We offer a nickel-free white gold option for an additional $50, providing the same bright appearance with enhanced comfort for those with allergies.

2.3 What is Noirva’s black jewelry made of?

Noirva’s black jewelry is available in different base metals. Black Silver is made from sterling silver with a black electroplated finish, while 14K, and 18K Black Gold are made from solid gold in the selected karat with the same type of dark surface finish. “Black” describes the exterior color, while the selected metal option tells you what the piece is made from underneath.

2.4 Is black gold real gold?

Yes!14K, and 18K Black Gold are made from solid gold in the selected karat. The black color is achieved through a specialized electroplated surface finish applied over the gold.

2.5 Will Black Gold lose its luster over time?

With proper care, Black Gold can retain its rich, dark appearance beautifully. Frequent friction may gradually lighten the finish, especially on rings.

2.6 How often does black gold need to be replated?

There is no fixed schedule, as wear depends on the jewelry type, how often it is worn, and how it is cared for. As a general guide, we recommend professional replating every 12 to 24 months, or whenever the black finish begins to noticeably lighten.

2.7 How should I care for my black gold jewelry?

Keep it away from water, perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals. Remove it before showering, swimming, exercising, or doing hands-on work. After wearing, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and store it separately in a soft pouch.
