Our Materials
Material & Quality
At Fish Tale, we’re committed to creating high-quality jewellery designed to last, stay beautiful, and move effortlessly with your everyday life.
We offer two main types of jewellery: waterproof stainless steel jewellery and water-resistant sterling silver jewellery. Each material has its own benefits and care needs.
Not all stainless steel jewellery is made the same. While some jewellery is made from basic or lower-grade stainless steel, our waterproof stainless steel pieces are crafted using premium high-grade stainless steel, chosen for its strength, durability, resistance to tarnishing, and suitability for sensitive skin.
This gives you jewellery that is made for real everyday wear - from showers and sweat to beach days and busy routines - while still keeping a beautiful, polished finish.
18k Gold Stainless Steel
Our 18k gold stainless steel pieces are crafted from high-grade Premium Stainless steel and finished with advanced PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) plating.
This process helps bond the gold layer strongly to the stainless steel base, making it:
- Highly durable
- Suitable for sensitive skin
- Waterproof
- Sweat-proof
- Tarnish-resistant
- Fade-resistant
- Corrosion-resistant
Wear it in the shower, at the beach, by the pool, or during your everyday routine — your jewellery is made to keep shining.
Stainless Steel
Our stainless steel pieces are made from high-grade Premium Stainless steel, known for its exceptional strength, long-lasting shine, and suitability for sensitive skin.
Our Premium Stainless steel is resistant to:
- Water
- Tarnishing
- Rust
- Sweat
- Everyday wear
This makes it an ideal choice for jewellery that you do not have to take off. Perfect for daily wear, active lifestyles, and sensitive skin.
18k Gold Sterling Silver
Our 18k gold-plated sterling silver pieces start with a base of high-quality 925 sterling silver, then are finished with a layer of 18k gold for a rich, elegant look.
Each piece is:
- Hypoallergenic
- Lightweight
- Elegant with a premium shine
- Water resistant for light everyday exposure
- Finished with a protective coating to help reduce tarnishing
This blend offers the beauty of gold with the comfort and purity of sterling silver.
Sterling silver jewellery should be cared for more gently than stainless steel. To keep it looking beautiful, we recommend avoiding ocean water, chlorine, perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals.
Sterling Silver (925)
Our sterling silver pieces are made from genuine 925 sterling silver, containing a minimum of 92.5% pure silver blended with other metals for strength.
Because pure silver is naturally soft, this alloy helps improve durability while maintaining its beautiful shine.
Each piece is designed for everyday wear, and coated with a premium rhodium finish to minimise tarnishing and protect against oxidation, keeping your jewellery bright for longer.
Sterling silver is water resistant, but not as waterproof or hard-wearing as stainless steel. For long-lasting shine, we recommend removing it before swimming, ocean water, chlorine, heavy sweating, perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals.
