What Makes Lumera Collections Jewellery Different?
We're often asked what we actually mean by "waterproof" jewellery — surely all jewellery is waterproof, right? Not quite.
Have you ever put on a piece you loved, only to have it turn green or start rusting after a bit of sweat or water exposure, leaving it unwearable?
Lumera Collections creates everyday luxury jewellery built for modern living. We blend elegant design with durable, high-performance materials, so every piece is as tough as it is beautiful. Unlike standard fashion jewellery, our pieces are made to handle water, resist tarnish, and hold up to daily wear — meaning you get style and durability without having to choose one over the other.
We source only premium-grade stainless steel, finished with 18k gold plating and a PVD coating for lasting quality.
What Is PVD Coating?
PVD, or Physical Vapor Deposition, is a technique used to apply a tough protective layer onto stainless steel. The process happens inside a vacuum chamber, where material is vaporised and then bonded to the surface of the steel, forming a thin, tightly adhered coating that boosts its look, colour and resistance to scratches and corrosion.
Because everything takes place in a controlled vacuum environment, PVD coating is considered a clean, eco-friendly process that avoids the use of harsh chemicals.
Jewellery finished with PVD-coated stainless steel is also hypoallergenic, making it a comfortable choice for those with sensitive skin or ears.
Will Lumera Collections Jewellery Tarnish Over Time?
Our pieces are built to resist tarnishing, giving you far greater longevity than typical fashion jewellery. That said, no piece of jewellery — no matter the material — is entirely untouched by time and everyday wear. With the right care, though, your Lumera pieces will stay brilliant for years to come.
Can I Wear Lumera Collections Jewellery Every Day?
Definitely. Our pieces are designed with everyday wear in mind. Whether you're heading into work, hitting the gym, or spending the day by the water, our jewellery is made to keep up with you — combining lasting durability with effortless, understated style.
How Should I Care for My Waterproof Jewellery?
While our jewellery requires very little upkeep, a little care goes a long way in keeping its finish looking great and extending its life:
Clean gently using warm water and a mild soap
Dry thoroughly after any contact with moisture
Give it an occasional polish with a soft microfiber cloth
For pieces set with pearls, crystals, or gemstones, take a little extra care to avoid scratching the surface and to keep their natural beauty intact.
At Lumera Collections, our mission is to reimagine everyday luxury jewellery — creating timeless pieces that fit effortlessly into your lifestyle while adding a touch of understated sophistication to your look.
