Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really waterproof?
Yes. Every piece is rated for showering, swimming, the gym, the ocean, hot tubs and sleeping in. The 316L surgical steel core doesn't react to water, salt, chlorine or sweat — and the PVD gold or silver finish is vacuum-bonded to it, not painted on.
What is PVD gold?
PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition. It's a vacuum process that bonds the gold (or silver) layer to the steel at the molecular level. It's far more durable than standard plating — the same process used by luxury watch brands. Backed by our Lifetime Colour Guarantee.
Will it turn my skin green or react to sensitive skin?
No. The 316L surgical stainless steel core is hypoallergenic — nickel-free, lead-free, cadmium-free. The same alloy used in medical implants. Safe for sensitive skin and freshly pierced ears.
Can I choose gold or silver per piece?
Yes. Most pieces come in both finishes. Pick the variant you want on the product page or in the box builder. You can mix and match across your selection — gold and silver pieces layered together is exactly the look.
How does sizing work for rings?
Each ring product page shows the size options available. See our Size Guide for measurement help — we recommend measuring at the end of the day when fingers are slightly larger.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship to the UK, EU, US, Canada, Australia and most of the world. See the Shipping page for delivery times and rates.
What's your returns policy?
30-day returns on unworn pieces in their original packaging. See Returns & Exchanges for the full process. Sale items and pierced earrings are final for hygiene reasons.
How do I care for my jewelry?
Wipe with a soft cloth between wears. Avoid applying perfume or harsh chemicals directly on the metal. That's it. Read the Care Guide for more.
What if my piece tarnishes or fades?
It won't — but if it does, we'll replace it. The Lifetime Colour Guarantee covers every piece for life. Send a photo to support@olympd.shop and we'll send a new one. No receipt needed.
