Waterproof Jewellery: the best buy for this summer
Who hasn't forgotten to take off their jewellery before going to the pool? How many times have you wished you could combine your top swimming costume of the season with your favourite jewellery?Girl, we know how it feels. That's why at Kalk we've designed a collection that's perfect for you so you can hit the beach without having to worry. We present you our waterproof jewellery, a waterproof proposal designed to enjoy your summer outfits without limits. How do you know if your jewellery is water resistant? It is usually recommended that, in order to keep our jewellery shiny and like new for as long as possible, we should leave them out when we go to the pool, beach, shower or play sports. There are many factors that can cause them to lose their gold plating or turn an unflattering shade of black. Many of you ask us if silver can get wet. Our recommendation is to avoid taking a dip if your jewellery is silver. This material can lose its colour much sooner due to the chemical reactions it undergoes when in contact with oxygen and salt water or chlorine. In short, stainless steel jewellery is the most resistant to summer days. At Kalk we work our waterproof jewellery with surgical steel to ensure that they are always as good as new. This material resists corrosion, retains its shine and colour and requires little maintenance. Our gold-plated jewellery is made of surgical steel, so it is also visually very attractive. Water resistant necklaces Swimming with a Kalk gold chain and your new swimming costume? A necklace is a piece that dresses up a look. Commonly, we choose designs that represent us in style and form. The most popular necklaces in summer are necklaces with coloured beads. These are very comfortable and water resistant, as they are made of materials that do not darken and are very durable. Do you want our recommendation? Choose necklaces that brighten up all your looks with lots of colour, as summer is the best time to take risks and wear a thousand colours. This Sunny Gold necklace by Kalk, with beads and charms is ideal to enhance your summer tan. Waterproof earrings Probably the thing we like to combine the most are earrings. And although we usually wear the same ones for everyday wear, we are very difficult to take risks for special occasions and events. Are you too? Then you'll understand why we're so lazy to take off our earrings to go to the beach. With these Trilogy earrings gold, you can be the queen of the beach party that your friends organise this summer, and the best thing is: without losing your style. We assure you that you won't go unnoticed, their 3-in-1 earrings design makes them a super versatile option and a sure hit!We remind you that they are our stainless steel earrings, so you can bathe and bathe (and sunbathe) infinite times without worrying about them losing their colour. Water resistant rings Rings are the jewellery that suffer the most from wear and tear and the passage of time. We use our hands for everything and they come into contact with everything we touch. With every new gold plated ring design we take this into account and make them from high quality surgical steel. We have an endless selection of our favourite rings, and these Soul ring gold has become our summer crush. It's clear that big rings are the trend this summer, isn't it? That's right. We couldn't feel more identified: a big ring, with coloured stones, and ideal to complete our coolest and summery looks. Waterproof bracelets As opposed to rings, bracelets are the accessories that tend to stand the test of time the best. It is true that the wrists are not an area that suffers a lot of overexposure, and that favours its maintenance. If bracelets are your favourite accessory, we bring you a selection of the models that are already triumphing in our online shop (so you can get them right now). Here's a tip: bead bracelets are a must in your jewellery box, an irresistible hit!Another trend this summer? More is more. Fill your arm with bracelets and create colourful and timeless combinations that give your arm a personality of its own. You can start with this fuchsia bead bracelet and build up your collection little by little. Have you already fallen in love with waterproof accessories and jewellery? Start enjoying the summer and all the plans that come your way. Now that you know that surgical steel jewellery can get wet, we can't wait to join you.

What types of earring closures are there?
What types of earring closures are there? When we buy earrings or piercings we tend to pay more attention to the jewellery than to the type of clasp it is made of. In many occasions, the earring clasp can be part of the purchase decision in an involuntary way. Do you know the types of clasps that exist? In this blog we are going to explain the types of clasps that you can find and we will help you to select them according to the occasion for which you are looking for them. What are the parts of an earring? Earrings are divided into 2 parts: the front and the back. The front part is the jewel, the design in which we have noticed those earrings that we have fallen in love with and that we want to be part of our collection. There are earrings ranging from small earrings attached to the earlobe to earrings so long that they seem almost infinite. But we will talk about this in another post. The back of the earring is the clasp. In many occasions the type of clasp is given little importance, but as we have mentioned, there are many types of them and we are going to differentiate them to know which one is the right one for each occasion. The different types of earring clasps Depending on the type of earring, the clasp will be one way or another. Some are more comfortable for everyday wear and others are more specific for special occasions. Here is a list of the 8 different types of earring clasps and examples to make it easier for you to identify between them. Butterfly clasp earrings The butterfly clasp is one of the most common type of earrings due to its design and comfort. It is characterised by being accompanied by a nut with a groove through which to pass the stick on the front so that it is closed and secure very easily. This clasp is characteristic of piercings and earrings that are attached to the earlobe, whether short or long, as it exerts pressure so that the two parts are joined together. Flat or screw back earrings Earrings with a screw or flat clasp can be recognised by the fact that, as the name suggests, they end in a thread with a groove to roll the earring along until it is fixed. This type of clasp is perfect for piercings, as they are flat and not uncomfortable to wear on a daily basis, so you can forget about having to take them off to sleep. They are also the perfect clasp for babies and newborns, because the stick, even if it is long, will never rub the ear or get in the way thanks to its flat clasp. Clip or pinch clasp earrings This type of clasp is more commonly found on costume jewellery than on jewellery, as it is more likely to be easily lost when pinching the ear. The design also means that, if you don't have holes, you can wear them with ease. They are usually chosen by women who, due to some setback, have holes that are more torn, and this helps them to visually cover that flaw. Omega clasp earrings The omega clasp is usually found in earrings with pearls or heavy materials, as it helps to keep the ear in place. It is a simple clasp reminiscent of a clip or pinch. They are usually the favourite of older women, so these omega clasp earrings can be found in earrings with more classic and ostentatious designs. Catalan clasp earrings or crossbow earrings The Catalan clasp is one of the most comfortable earrings that we can find in the market. Its closure is very simple. You only have to listen to a "click" while you join both parts of the earring to know that it is secure. This type of clasp is found in hoop earrings, the hinged part fits the back part and ensures that it is hidden in the ring. It is also very easy to close them. Hook or Hippie Clasp Earrings The hook clasp is the most recognised in youth jewellery. It is usually found in the earrings that we buy in summer in a little stall on the beach, hence the name "hippie" or "boho". It is a versatile clasp that makes it extremely easy to put on. Inset or Hidden Clasp Earrings This is one of the most commonly used clasps for hoop earrings. A small bar is inserted at the other end of the earring and allows the earrings to be held in place and makes it very difficult to open and lose them. Roman clasp earrings This is a version of the Hook clasp, but more closed. Its purpose is to provide more security than the first version, making it more difficult for them to fall out of your ears and get lost. Do you already know which is the one that best suits your needs? Now, when you go looking for earrings, you will know the reasons why each one has a type of clasp.

925 sterling silver, can it get wet?
Index WHAT IS STERLING SILVER 925? AND WHAT IS HALLMARKED SILVER? CARE FOR STERLING SILVER CAN IT GET WET? DOES IT OXIDIZE? FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Discover our most dazzling collections: Haven’t discovered the new collection of silver necklaces from Kalk yet? Today we want to help you keep your pieces in the best condition so you can always wear them at their best.Can silver get wet? What kind of care does silver jewelry need? Below, we answer these questions and share some practical tips that will be very useful to keep your necklace collection as shiny as the first day. WHAT IS STERLING SILVER 925? AND WHAT IS HALLMARKED SILVER? Before clarifying whether sterling silver can get wet, let’s define the difference between silver 925 and hallmarked silver. Silver 925: When we talk about silver 925, we are referring to jewelry that contains 92.5% silver, and can also include up to 7.5% of other metals. Hallmarked silver: Hallmarked silver is any piece that contains the minimum percentage of silver established by current legislation. In Spain, this minimum is set at 800 thousandths. CARE FOR STERLING SILVER One of the most common problems with silver pieces is that they tarnish. Silver darkens due to the jewel’s contact with acidic agents.Storing silver jewelry for a long time can also cause it to darken. To avoid this, we recommend: Keep your silver jewelry in a cool, dry place. Ideally, store them in airtight containers. Avoid contact with sweat while exercising, or with salt and chlorine when swimming at the beach or in the pool. Try to keep your jewelry separated. Contact between them accelerates deterioration. Keep the pieces away from prolonged exposure to sunlight or artificial light. Avoid storing silver in wooden boxes, as they most likely contain some kind of chemical agent. Clean your jewelry frequently to prevent damage. A simple method is to immerse them for a few minutes in hot water with salt or baking soda on an aluminum base. It’s also important to dry them completely afterward. CAN IT GET WET? Can silver get wet? Yes, it can. There’s no problem if silver pieces get wet, but you should always keep in mind that they must not come into contact with chemicals. So, whenever possible, it’s best to keep them away from moisture.And what about hallmarked silver? The answer is the same. Simple contact with water does not cause sterling silver to tarnish. DOES IT OXIDIZE? No, silver does not oxidize. Like other noble metals, such as gold or platinum, silver does not react to atmospheric oxidation.The fact that it may show a yellowish or dark tone is usually due to contact with chemicals, prolonged exposure to light, or even the pH of our skin. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Do you have doubts about how to care for your silver pieces? Here we answer the most common questions so your jewelry retains its shine for longer. WHAT IS STERLING SILVER 925? Sterling silver or 925 silver is an alloy made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This mix provides strength and durability, since pure silver is too soft to work with in jewelry. When we talk about silver 925 or sterling silver, we mean the same quality: ideal for creating jewelry that combines beauty, shine, and great durability for daily wear. CAN SILVER GET WET WITH SEA WATER? It can, but it’s not recommended. Salt and minerals in seawater can speed up the appearance of stains and dull the natural shine. If your pieces come into contact with seawater, rinse them with fresh water and dry them well to keep them in perfect condition for longer. CAN YOU WEAR SILVER IN THE POOL? It’s best to avoid it. Chlorine and other chemicals in pool water can make sterling silver lose its shine and darken over time. The ideal option is to remove your jewelry before swimming. If they do get wet, rinse them with clean water and dry them carefully. DOES STERLING SILVER TURN BLACK? Sterling silver can darken over time due to a natural oxidation process when exposed to air, moisture, or certain chemicals. This doesn’t mean the jewelry is ruined: a simple cleaning will restore its shine. With proper care, sterling silver stays beautiful and durable for years. HOW TO KNOW IF A PIECE IS REAL SILVER? Look for the “925” stamp engraved on the piece: it indicates 92.5% pure silver. Also, check the tone and shine: genuine silver has a softer finish than chrome-plated imitations. In addition, it’s not magnetic and tends to darken slightly over time, unlike plated or imitation pieces. Discover our most dazzling collections: Silver earrings Silver necklaces Silver rings

A part of your future will be stored inside. Shall we help you choose? Bags for college, which is better? When it comes to the best bags for college, we can open a debate about colors, designs or finishes. But what does not admit doubts is that we must choose a model that incorporates three basic characteristics:Amplitude: We need space, both for writing material, notes, etc., as well as for our accessories. Comfort: The bag will be our companion and ally throughout the course. What we ask is that it be comfortable to wear, that it has an ergonomic grip and that it does not add too much weight to the rest of the material that we have to transport. Functionality: It is appreciated that the bag has interior compartments in the form of pockets in which we can maintain a certain order and dispose of any object quickly. Types of bags to take to college Once the basic characteristics that we need have been defined, it is time to choose the best bags for university based on the different types available on the market and the trends for this new course.A safe bet when choosing a model for the university are the big bags. Most brands have items of this type. Its breadth allows us to transport a tablet or a laptop, as well as folders and documents along with our personal belongings.Within the maxi bags we can find a wide variety of designs and materials. The choice will largely depend on our taste and style. Here are some recommendations: Quilted bags Total priority for the comfort and safety of the objects we transport, especially if they are electronic. The padding gives us an extra layer of protection, something that our shoulders will appreciate as the course progresses. Polyester bags A touch of elegance never hurts. Polyester bags are also very comfortable for everyday use and have the advantage that they are very easy to clean. Sports bags For the most active spirits. We do not care if you can see external zippers or padding if this guarantees that the phone or tablet travels safely. In addition, you can always add a t-shirt and sweatpants in its interior compartments to clear your mind with some exercise after the academic day. Faux leather bags Who said that functionality must be at odds with aesthetics and good taste? Some of the best college bags this fall winter season are made of faux fur. The secret of your success? Its softness and ease to combine with all kinds of styles. Tote Bags These have positioned themselves as the best option in bags to take to uni. They are comfortable and have a lot of space, which is essential for day-to-day life. We can find them in all their versions, from large fabric bags to those with different storage spaces.
