It's important to make sure that once you pulled the piece up into your hair that it sits firm in one place. Meaning that it shouldnt move anymore by itself and it should be a little hard to pull it back down using your hands. So just push it up to the max and nothing will happen!

We've been testing Gemz in all kinds of situations from clubbing, to messy bedmoments and we never lost a piece ;)

We do recommend just as with your other jewelry pieces to keep them away from water, hairproducts or creams and avoid sleeping with them, just to keep them shiny and fresh

Oh and another little tip: When you're not wearing them put them back into their box ;)

You can. But if you want the shine of your piece to last longer we recomaned not to, also it's important to keep them away from any shampoos creams or other hairproducts.

Our pieces are created to last.

Therefore we only use the best metals: solid 925 sterling silver and solid 18k gold.

If you buy a "gold-plated" piece, then it is made of solid 925 sterling silver with a 24k gold coating. Be aware that it is normal that this coating wears off after some time - which is no problem because we can always replate them ;)

Simply put: no breaking of the pieces and no green or copper coloring EVER.

We are working with solid 925 sterling silver and upon request with solid gold and all our pieces are handmade in Europe. The designs are timeless and unique and other to anything you can find on the market. And just think about it - these pieces are made to last. You can reuse them your whole life and even pass them on to the next generation.

Apart from a unique design and quality, we believe jewelry carries a meaning it carries a story and for us it's really important that gemz is exactly that. Our hair is expression, and so should be the pieces that we are wearing in it.

Shipping usually takes around 2 weeks. If you need it to be shipped faster, feel free to reach out via hello@gemz.global.

Since Gemz are made of Sterling silver or 24k gold plated silver, it’s normal that the silver oxidizes over time, to clean that you can just get any silver polisher and once in a while dip your pieces in it.

In general keep them away from any products like shampoos, gel or oils, to keep them shiny as long as possible. We don’t recommend showering with the pieces and the best is to keep them in their box as soon as you don’t use them anymore.

Yes of course! We would love to translate your story into a special hair piece. Just message us at hello@gemz.global

At the moment you won't find anything on the market with the same quality and philosophy as Gemz. If you are looking for something special, something that really expresses who you are and what you believe in then it's Gemz. Of course you can find hairjewelry in your local afroshop, aliexpress or shein, but it will never carry the same essence, and a lot of times is produced under bad working conditions and cheap materials.

We empower individuals, looking to uniquely style their natural hair, to champion their cultural identities by crafting premium hair jewellery driven by heritage. link to "Why Gemz?"

We are still working on using recycled metals only, to avoid working with metals that are not ethically sourced.
