The Truth Is...|What Plated Jewelry Looks Like Over Time



A little reminder through illustration — what jewelry looks like when it's new,
and how it may look two years later.
Even with care, plated jewelry changes over time.
The surface may fade or darken — but that’s not a flaw.
It becomes part of your story. A patina of time, memories, and everyday life.
At SMUK, we use 925 sterling silver as the core metal to ensure durability and timeless beauty.
Wear it your way, and let it age with grace.
