Our Materials, Your Statement

We believe jewellery should be made to keep up with your life, not just look beautiful in a box.That's why every pair of East & Essex earrings is crafted from 316L surgical stainless steel. Chosen for its durability, comfort and lasting shine, it's a material trusted for its strength and designed to be worn every day.

Why 316L Stainless steel

316L stainless steel is one of the highest-quality metals used in modern jewellery. It's highly resistant to tarnishing, rust and corrosion, making it ideal for pieces you'll reach for day after day.

Unlike lower-grade metals, 316L is built to maintain its finish with minimal care, so your jewellery looks as good months from now as it does the day it arrives.

The benefits?

Hypoallergenic (perfect for sensitive ears)
Tarnish, rust and corrosion resistant

Waterproof and sweat resistant

Made for everyday wear

Long-lasting shine with minimal maintenance

Whether you're dressing up or keeping it casual, our earrings are designed to move with you from morning coffee to evening plans.

QUALITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE

At East & Essex, we believe quality should never be a luxury reserved for a few. By choosing premium 316L stainless steel, we're able to create jewellery that's durable, beautiful and wearable without compromising on craftsmanship or style.

Because great jewellery shouldn't need replacing. It should become part of your everyday.

OUR FINISH

Our gold earrings are finished with a layer of real 14-18k gold using an advanced PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating.

Unlike traditional gold plating, PVD creates a stronger bond between the gold and the metal beneath, resulting in a finish that's more durable, more resistant to everyday wear, and designed to maintain its beautiful colour for longer.

Real Pieces, Real Longevity
