Miska is anti-tarnish jewellery: 18K gold applied by PVD (physical vapour deposition), which bonds the gold to 316L stainless steel or brass instead of sitting on top like a gold dip. Cared for as the care guide describes, it holds its colour for years. Plating is a finish, not solid gold, so it is not a lifetime guarantee. ### Will it turn my skin green? Not our steel pieces: 316L stainless steel does not rust or react with sweat, so it leaves no green mark. Green marks come from copper-rich metal touching damp skin. On our brass pieces the PVD layer keeps the brass off your skin; wiping them dry after wearing and taking them off to bathe keeps that layer intact. ### Can I shower or swim with it on? Steel pieces, yes: 316L stainless steel jewellery is waterproof, so the shower, sweat, the gym and the rain are fine. After the sea or a chlorinated pool, rinse it in fresh water and pat it dry. Brass pieces are sweat-resistant for everyday wear, but take them off to bathe or swim. Every product page names its base metal. ### Is 316L steel safe for sensitive skin? 316L surgical-grade stainless steel is hypoallergenic: it is the grade used for medical implants and body-piercing jewellery. It does contain nickel, but bound into the alloy, which is why it suits many people who react to cheap fashion jewellery. If you have a diagnosed nickel allergy, ask us on the confirmation call before the order goes out. ### Stainless steel or brass: which should I choose? Choose 316L steel for pieces you never take off: everyday hoops, chains, rings and anklets that go through showers and the gym. Choose brass for the more detailed or traditional designs you wear on dry days and for occasions. Both are 18K gold PVD and anti-tarnish. ### How long does the gold last? Far longer than a gold dip, because PVD bonds the gold to the metal rather than laying it on top. How long depends on how it is worn: a ring that meets soap and knocks every day wears faster than a pair of earrings. Put it on after perfume and lotion, wipe it after wearing and keep it away from bleach, and it holds its colour for years. ### Do you have gifts under ₹500? Yes. In the shop, sort by Price: low to high (on a phone, Filter → Under ₹500) to see them first, and Sets & combos put matched pieces together at one price — an easy birthday, Rakhi or bridesmaid gift. Prices include taxes; delivery is added in your bag. ### How do I pay? Is there cash on delivery? Pay securely by UPI: GPay, PhonePe, Paytm or any UPI app. Every order is confirmed with you first, so the piece, the size and the address are right. There is no cash on delivery. ### How is it delivered? Once the payment is in, the order is packed and sent with tracking shared on WhatsApp. A flat delivery charge is added to every order and shown in your bag before you place it. ### What does demi-fine mean? Real craft in plated metal rather than solid gold: 316L stainless steel or brass, polished, with an 18K gold PVD finish. The difference from ordinary gold-plated jewellery shows after six months of daily wear. ## About the materials (https://miskafashion.com/materials) ### Is 316L stainless steel nickel-free? No. 316L contains 10–14% nickel, bound into the alloy, so Miska never calls its steel nickel-free. Many people who react to cheap fashion jewellery wear 316L without trouble, but if you have a diagnosed nickel allergy, ask us on the confirmation call before the order goes out. ### Is PVD the same as gold plating? No. Ordinary gold plating is usually electroplating: metal deposited from a chemical bath by an electric current. PVD is a vacuum process that condenses the coating onto the piece as a thin film, and PVD coatings are sometimes harder and more corrosion-resistant than electroplated ones. Both are finishes, not solid gold. ### Can I wear brass pieces in the shower? No. Brass pieces are sweat-resistant for everyday wear, but take them off to bathe or swim: long soaks in soap, chlorine or salt water wear the finish and reach the brass underneath. Steel pieces can stay on in the shower. ### Is Miska jewellery solid gold? No. Miska is demi-fine jewellery: 316L stainless steel or brass with an 18K gold PVD finish. Every product page names its base metal. ### Will it never tarnish? We do not claim that. Miska jewellery is anti-tarnish: the PVD finish resists tarnish far longer than an ordinary gold dip, and cared for as described it holds its colour for years. It is still a finish, not a lifetime guarantee. ### Are the steel pieces suitable for a new piercing? No. For fresh piercings, professional piercers accept only steel certified to ASTM F138 or ISO 5832-1. Miska steel pieces are 316L and are not sold as certified implant-grade jewellery, so wear them in healed piercings. ### Can I see proof of what a piece is made of? Supplier material documentation is available on request: write to us with the piece's name or code. Dated wear-test photos at 30, 60 and 90 days will be published on this page, with first results in December 2026. ## Contact - Legal name: Miska is a brand of DMS Techlabs - Address: 125/4, Cholambedu Road, Srinagar Colony, Thirumullaivoyal, Avadi, Chennai - 600 062, Tamil Nadu - Phone: +91 70127 35868 - WhatsApp: +91 70127 35868 (https://wa.me/917012735868) - Email: miskafashion.com@gmail.com - Pages: https://miskafashion.com/contact · https://miskafashion.com/about ## Policies - Terms: https://miskafashion.com/terms - Privacy: https://miskafashion.com/privacy - Refund & cancellation: https://miskafashion.com/refunds - Shipping & delivery: https://miskafashion.com/shipping - Partner programme: https://miskafashion.com/partner (terms: https://miskafashion.com/partner-terms)
