Choosing your permanent jewelry metal is one of the most important decisions you'll make at your appointment—and we're here to make it easy. Here's a side-by-side look at the three metals we offer at Shop Hazel Jane.
Stainless Steel
- Most affordable option
- Extremely durable — resists scratches, tarnish, and corrosion
- Hypoallergenic — great for sensitive skin
- Perfect for active lifestyles
Best for: first-timers, athletes, or anyone wanting a worry-free everyday piece.
14k Gold Filled
- Luxurious gold appearance at a fraction of solid gold cost
- Much thicker gold layer than gold plated — won't flake or chip
- Long-lasting with proper care
- Warm, classic look
Best for: those who love the gold aesthetic and want something that lasts.
Sterling Silver
- Timeless, cool-toned elegance
- Pairs beautifully with other silver jewelry
- Slightly more affordable than gold filled
- Will tarnish over time (easily polished back)
Best for: silver lovers and those who prefer a cooler metal tone.
