Please refer to the following for the characteristics of each material.


■18KGP
18K plated material such as brass alloy Silver925.
Gently polish with chamois leather, tissue or a soft cloth
Do not use commercially available metal polishers
If it is dirty, use a cloth diluted with mild detergent and wash it gently without rubbing.
After polishing, be sure to wipe it gently with a dry cloth. Moisture may cause rust.
It is not easily scratched and has excellent durability, but the plating will become thinner if you continue to use it.、Re-plating is possible upon request


■14KGF
It is called gold plating with brass or alloy as the core and coated with gold alloy such as gold 14K, which is equivalent to 5% of the total weight.
Compared to normal plating, the coating layer is thicker and heat and pressure are applied to crimp the coating so that it does not peel off immediately.
In addition, the content of nickel, chromium, manganese, and cobalt is 0.01 or less, which means that it contains almost no substances that are generally prone to allergies.
※There is no guarantee that you will not have allergies.
Do not use a commercially available metal polish, but wipe off dirt with a soft cotton cloth such as a cloth for eyeglasses.
If the dirt cannot be removed, apply a mild detergent diluted with lukewarm water to a cloth and wash gently without rubbing.
After polishing, be sure to wipe it gently with a dry cloth. If moisture remains, it may cause the plating to peel off.
It cannot be reprocessed with 14KGF, so if you wish to re-plat, we can accept plating with 18KGF.


■SILVER PLATED
The silver-colored plating of ucalypt uses a substitute rhodium plating.
As the name suggests, it is a silver-based plating that looks very similar to the expensive rhodium plating.
It is less prone to allergies and has better color and luster than Silver 925 and is more durable.
Gently polish with a soft cloth Do not use commercially available metal polishes
Can be re-plated on request


■STAINLESS
It is an alloy material containing chromium and nickel based on iron.
Corrosion resistance Durability It is characterized by high strength and non-magnetism.
The surgical stainless steel used in ucalypt does not easily dissolve metal ions that cause allergies.、People with metal allergies can use it with relative peace of mind.

※There is no guarantee that you will not have allergies.


You can use it while wearing it during bathing and water work sports.
Gently polish with a soft cloth Do not use commercially available metal polishes
Since it cannot be reprocessed with stainless steel, if you wish to re-plat it, we can accept it if it is plated with substitute rhodium.
The gold plating of stainless steel products is nickel-free 18KGP.


■SILVER 925
It is a material commonly used in accessories called silver.
The number 925 is the silver content purity, which means that it contains 92.5% silver.

The remaining 7.5% is an alloy. By making an alloy, silver becomes strong and hard enough to be used daily as an accessory.
If you use it for a long time, it will darken, so please polish it with a special cloth for 925.
Basically, it is a material that can be used without plating, but if you wish, you can also plate with other materials.
