Welcome to the official Carolein "Our Story" page!
š§ How Carolein Started
It all began with a simple frustration: jewelry that faded, irritated our skin, or couldnāt handle real life. As women with sensitive skin, we often experienced reactionsāeven from pieces that looked beautiful online. We wanted jewelry that was safe, luxurious, and resilient.
We discovered there had to be a better way. Thatās when Carolein was born: a passion project, started by a mother-daughter duo on a mission to create hypoallergenic, waterproof jewelry that could truly be worn every dayāno compromises.
š Built for Water, Sweat, and Adventure
Our pieces are meticulously engineered using premium stainless steel, plated with 18k gold via PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)āa process that makes color lasting and resistant to water exposure.
This cutting-edge plating is:
-
10Ć stronger than traditional gold plating
-
Fully waterproofāideal for showers, pools, gym, and oceans
-
Hypoallergenicāno nickel, gentle on sensitive skin
That means you can go swimming, washing, or sweating without ever needing to take off your favorite pieces.
š©š§ Why We Created Carolein
As women allergic to cheap jewelry, we realized how lipstick, lotions, saltwater, and sweat can ruin low-quality metals and worsen skin reactions. We decided to craft pieces inspired by our travels, oceanside adventures, and everyday momentsājewelry you can genuinely live in.
Now, we design with intention so that you can:
-
Feel confident and comfortable, even with sensitive skin
-
Wear your jewelry rain or shine, saltwater or chlorine, sweat or sea spray
-
Trust in timeless style that lastsāwithout fading, tarnishing, or green marks
š Quality You Can Trust
From the moment our jewelry is designed in-house to when it's polished before shipping, every step is intentional:
-
Made from 316 medical-grade stainless steel for maximum durability and rust resistanceĀ
