1. What is demi-fine jewellery?

Demi-fine jewellery sits between fine and fashion, using durable base metals and elevated finishes so you get a luxury look that’s designed for everyday wear.

2. What materials does Beau Manteor use?

Beau Manteor uses high-grade stainless steel as a base metal with 18K gold plating, chosen for longevity, comfort, and daily wearability.

3. Is Beau Manteor jewellery hypoallergenic?

Yes. Beau Manteor jewellery is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, designed to be gentle on sensitive skin.

4. Is your gold plated jewellery waterproof?

Our gold plated stainless steel jewellery is made for real life: handwashing, splashes, and everyday wear. For longest wear, avoid long hot showers, pools, and harsh chemicals.

5. Is Beau Manteor jewellery tarnish-resistant?

Yes. Stainless steel is naturally resistant to rust and tarnish, helping our gold plated jewellery stay bright longer.

6. Will gold plated jewellery fade over time?

Gold plating can soften gradually with years of wear, but 18K gold plating over stainless steeltypically lasts longer than plating over brass and silver for everyday use.

7. Will Beau Manteor jewellery turn my skin green?

No. Skin greening is commonly linked to reactive alloys (often brass). Our stainless steel base is designed to stay skin-kind and stable.

8. What’s the difference between brass, sterling silver, and stainless steel under gold plating?

Brass can oxidize and react faster, sterling silver is precious but softer and can tarnish, and stainless steel is strong, stable, and built for daily wear.

9. Which base metal is best for gold plated jewellery?

For everyday demi-fine jewellery, stainless steel is the best all-around base: durable, less reactive, and excellent for consistent daily wear.

10. Why is stainless steel considered the winner?

Because it’s strong, low-reactivity, and naturally resistant to corrosion, stainless steel helps gold plating wear more gracefully over time.

11. Can I wear Beau Manteor jewellery every day?

Yes. Our jewellery is designed for daily wear, from office hours to off-duty plans, without feeling precious or fragile.

12. Can I sleep in Beau Manteor earrings or jewellery?

Many customers do. Our pieces are lightweight and smooth, though removing jewellery occasionally helps preserve the finish longer.

13. Can I work out while wearing Beau Manteor jewellery?

Light workouts are generally fine. For best longevity, wipe pieces after sweating and avoid direct contact with harsh products.

14. How do I care for gold plated stainless steel jewellery?

Wipe with a soft cloth after wear, avoid perfumes/cleaners on the piece, and store in a dry pouch. Simple care, lasting shine.
