FAQS

How many of each trinket is sold?

Each trinket is ONE-OF-ONE and cannot be recreated. Every piece is uniquely yours and meant to represent your story.

Are all Trinket Traces pieces handcrafted?

Yes. Each trinket is carefully designed and handcrafted in house to ensure attention to detail and individuality.

What materials are used?

We use gold-filled and stainless steel for chains and charms. All trinkets are tarnish-free, nickel & lead-free, and water-resistant. For specifics, check each trinket’s description.

gold filled

created for the long haul. our gold-filled pieces give you the exact look, weight, and durability of solid gold, minus the luxury price tag. unlike gold-plated jewelry, which only has a microscopic flash of gold that wears off fast, gold filled is made by fusing a thick, solid sheet of gold onto a base core using intense heat and pressure.

it is legally required to be 5% gold by weight, meaning that outer layer is thick enough to handle daily wear, showers, and heavy humidity without tarnishing, chipping, or fading.

stainless steel

built for real life. stainless steel is the ultimate low-maintenance metal for pieces that can actually keep up with you. it is naturally hypoallergenic, scratch-resistant, and entirely rust-proof.

because it never oxidizes, it will never tarnish or turn your skin green, even if you wear it through sweat, water, and nonstop humidity. it has a sleek, deep-silver look that requires zero upkeep, making it a clean, worry-free choice for everyday wear.

Why don’t we use sterling silver?

It comes down to maintenance. sterling silver naturally oxidizes and tarnishes quickly from air and daily wear. we wanted to create quality pieces that are low maintenance, meaning you do not have to spend your time polishing away dark marks.

By choosing gold filled and stainless steel, we ensure your jewelry stays bright and worry-free. of course, we always recommend a quick wipe down after each wear to remove any oils or dirt and keep things looking effortless. Learn more in Jewelry Care. 

How do I clean the jewelry?

To maintain your trinket’s shine, gently wipe it with a soft cloth after each use. For deeper cleaning, use warm, soapy water. Learn more in Jewelry Care.
