Honestly, we offer both, because life is a series of bad choices and we want you to have options. Sterling silver is a classic, to look good while saying 'no, it's not expensive', but it requires maintenance. Stainless steel is the ironclad choice for those days when you know your car broke down, your dog ran away, and you need to feel at least a little strong. Choose what exactly you want to complain about, whether it's having to clean it, or that it's 'too simple' for your taste.

Don't worry, even we wouldn't test this on ourselves if it were dangerous. Regardless of the metal, our jewelry is hypoallergenic, because we don't want to deal with lawsuits. It has been tested on relatives (they haven't sued us yet), so you can wear it even when your skin decides to have an identity crisis. It's more likely that your partner will annoy you more than this necklace will.

No, they're artificial – and that's the only reason they look so good. Real flowers in a sealed glass have the nasty habit of turning into a brown depression in just three days. These are here to outlast your dieting enthusiasm and are guaranteed not to die on you, even if you have a talent for killing even a cactus. At least one thing in this home won't demand water, attention, or explanations for why you're late again.

Rule number one: Less is more. Don't try to engrave the entire lyrics of "Oblache le byalo" (White Cloud) onto 1 cm of metal. Opt for initials, a date, or that cipher only the two of you understand (and which you won't have to explain to your next girlfriend if things go south). And most importantly: Triple-check the spelling. We don't want you turning "Martina" into "Martin" because of a missing letter – the laser doesn't forgive, and we don't want to witness your personal domestic drama.

Technically you can, but why would you want to test the patience of silver and chlorinated water in the bathroom? Silver is like you after 18 hours of work; it needs a rest, not an aggressive pine-scented shower gel. If you want the jewelry to shine longer than your promises to start fitness on Monday, take it off before showering. It's not complicated, it takes 2 seconds, just like it takes you to say 'okay' without actually listening to what people are telling you.
