Choosing jewelry that’s kind to the planet shouldn’t mean compromising on style, comfort, or longevity. Rochas Jewelry keeps things gorgeous and responsible by working with recycled metals and recyclable packaging—two small choices that add up to a big difference.

• Recycled metals, real quality: Metal can be recycled without losing purity. That means a ring, bracelet, or pair of earrings made with recycled metals looks and wears just like one made with newly mined material—only with a lighter footprint. You’re getting the same smooth finish, the same weight and feel, and the same sparkle.
• Everyday comfort built in: Quality metalwork and thoughtful design make daily wear easier—smooth edges, secure clasps, and finishes that feel good against skin. Recycled metal doesn’t change that; it just changes the impact.
• Why recyclable packaging helps: From shipping to storage, Rochas Jewelry uses recyclable packaging to cut down on waste. It’s a simple, guilt-free unboxing you can toss into the recycling bin when you’re done, not the landfill.

So yes, you can look good, feel good, and do good—without paying luxury prices or babying your jewelry 24/7. That’s the goal: sustainable shine you can live in.

18K gold plating 101: value, style, longevity

If you love the warmth of gold but not the solid-gold price tag, 18K gold plating hits the sweet spot. Here’s why it’s a smart move for everyday style:

• The look you love: 18K gold has a rich, classic tone that’s universally flattering. Plating gives you that glow across pieces you can wear every day—from sleek chains to hoops to stackable bracelets.
• Built for everyday versatility: Because you’re not paying solid-gold prices, you can mix and match more freely: layer chains, try statement earrings, or grab matching sets for the family without stressing the budget.
• Better value per wear: Quality plating on a well-made base means you get maximum mileage out of each piece. It’s a straightforward way to stretch your style budget while still wearing “real gold” on the surface.
• Less fuss, more fun: With the right care (more on that below), 18K plated pieces resist everyday wear-and-tear and keep their color longer, so they stay looking fresh.

Bottom line: 18K gold plating delivers the golden look, compliments your wardrobe, and keeps your cost down—while giving you durability that feels way above “fast fashion.”

Care tips to keep your plated pieces shining longer

Want your favorites to go the distance? A little TLC goes a long way. Try these easy habits:

• Last on, first off: Put jewelry on after lotions, perfume, sunscreen, and hair products. Remove it before showering or swimming. Water and chemicals shorten the life of plating.
• Sweat smart: Take pieces off for workouts and beach days. Salt and sweat are tough on finishes.
• Gentle clean only: Wipe with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Skip abrasive polishes and harsh cleaners; they can dull or remove plating.
• Safe storage: Store pieces separately in a pouch or soft compartment to avoid scratches. If you share a box with the family, give each piece its own little spot.
• Rotate your lineup: If you wear the same bracelet 24/7, it’ll show wear faster. Swap pieces out during the week for longer life overall.
• Mind the metals: If you’re stacking, pair like finishes together, and avoid rough textures rubbing against delicate chains or beads.

Do that, and your 18K plated jewelry will keep its color and shine longer—keeping cost-per-wear comfortably low.

Everyday styles for the whole family: what to look for

Whether you’re shopping for yourself, your partner, or your kids, everyday jewelry should be easy to wear, easy to love, and easy to maintain. Here’s a quick guide to choosing well.

• Comfort and fit first
  • Lightweight earrings that don’t pull.
  • Smooth edges on cuffs and bangles.
  • Adjustable chains and bracelets for growing kids or sharing between family members.
• Secure closures matter
  • Look for lobster clasps or sturdy magnetic closures on necklaces and bracelets.
  • For kids and busy days, hinge or lever-back earrings are a great “grab-and-go” option.
• Versatility wins
  • Simple chains and stacking rings go from school drop-off to date night.
  • Neutral, classic silhouettes play nice with everything in your closet—tees, blazers, dresses.
• Durable finishes you don’t have to baby
  • 18K gold plating offers that elevated look with approachable care.
  • Opt for designs with fewer snag points if you’re active or with little ones.
• Smart picks for each person
  • Women: Layerable chains, huggies, and tennis bracelets you can dress up or down. Try Rochas’ 14K Gold Plated Classic Tennis Bracelet for just $13.99 for an everyday sparkle that won’t break the bank.
  • Men: Minimal chains, signet-style rings, or a clean bracelet pair well with watches and casual fits.
  • Teens: Trend-led hoops, stackable rings, and simple pendant necklaces. Mix metals or keep it classic with 18K.
  • Kids: Petite studs and sturdy chains with secure clasps. Keep it comfy, snag-free, and easy to clean.

Want a chic statement without the splurge? The ‘Marbella’ Two-Tone Disc Drop Earrings are a standout at $55.00—eye-catching, still wallet-friendly, and easy to style with basics or a bold lip.

Pro tip: If you’re shopping for multiple people at once (holidays, birthdays, or just-because gifting), pick a shared tone (like 18K gold) so pieces coordinate across outfits and age groups.
