Product FAQs & Sizing
Lab-grown diamonds and mined diamonds may come from different origins, but they’re virtually identical in every way that matters. Lab-grown diamonds are created in high-tech facilities that replicate the natural process of diamond formation using extreme heat and pressure. The result? A diamond that’s chemically, physically, and optically the same as one formed deep within the Earth. In fact, even professional gemologists need specialized equipment to distinguish the two.
The key differences lie in their environmental and ethical impact. Lab-grown diamonds are a more sustainable choice, as they require significantly less land and fewer resources to produce. They’re also free from concerns associated with unethical mining practices, ensuring a guilt-free sparkle. On the other hand, mined diamonds are valued for their natural origins and the historical allure of being a "gift from the Earth." Whichever you choose, both options offer the timeless beauty and durability that make diamonds a true investment piece.
The main difference between 10k and 14k gold lies in the ratio of pure gold to alloy metals, which impacts durability, price, and sometimes color. 10k gold is made with 41.7% pure gold, while 14k gold contains 58.3% pure gold. Traditionally, 10k gold can have a slightly lighter, more muted tone compared to the richer, warmer hue of 14k gold. However, with our expertly crafted pieces, the difference in color is nearly impossible to spot—both 10k and 14k options have that same stunning golden glow you love.
When it comes to everyday wear, 10k gold’s higher percentage of alloy metals makes it tougher and more resistant to scratches, which is why we chose it for our AirGold collection. These lightweight, hollow designs are durable enough for daily adventures while still looking luxe. Meanwhile, 14k gold offers a touch more gold content while maintaining excellent durability, making it a great choice for classic, investment-worthy pieces. Whichever you choose, you’re getting the same timeless style and high-quality craftsmanship Zayla is known for.
Yes, Zayla jewelry is both tarnish-resistant and waterproof! All of our pieces are crafted from solid gold—either 14k or 10k—which means they’re built to withstand whatever life throws at you. Unlike gold-plated or gold-filled jewelry, solid gold won’t fade, chip, or lose its shine over time. Whether you’re caught in the rain, sweating it out at the gym, or just washing your hands, you can trust that your Zayla pieces will stay as radiant as the day you got them.
We design our jewelry for daily wear, so you don’t have to worry about taking it off every time you hit the shower or go for a swim. That said, while our pieces are durable, we recommend avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals, like chlorine or cleaning products, to keep them looking their best for years to come. Treat your jewelry with love, and it’ll love you back—effortlessly.
Your Zayla pieces are designed to be as effortless as they are stunning, crafted from solid 10k and 14k gold and lab-grown diamonds. While our jewelry is made to last and endure daily wear, a little care goes a long way to keep your pieces looking as radiant as ever.
Caring for 10k and 14k Gold
Both 10k and 14k gold are naturally tarnish-resistant and waterproof, so they’re perfect for everyday wear. Whether you're washing your hands, working out, or lounging by the pool, your Zayla jewelry can handle it. However, to keep your pieces looking their best, we recommend a few simple practices:
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Remove your jewelry before swimming in chlorinated pools, using cleaning products, or applying lotions and perfumes directly on it. While gold is durable, chemicals can dull its shine over time.
- Clean Gently: To remove dirt or oil buildup, clean your pieces occasionally with warm water, a drop of mild soap, and a soft cloth or brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth.
- Store Thoughtfully: When you’re not wearing your jewelry, store it in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangles.
Caring for Lab-Grown Diamonds
Our lab-grown diamonds are as stunning and durable as their mined counterparts, making them perfect for daily wear. While they’re designed to shine endlessly, here’s how to keep them sparkling bright:
- Clean Regularly: Diamonds can collect oils from skin and lotions, which dull their brilliance. Clean yours with warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft toothbrush to gently scrub away buildup. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
- Handle with Care: While diamonds are extremely hard, they can scratch other materials (or even other diamonds), so store your diamond jewelry separately to avoid accidental damage.
Everyday Tips for Long-Lasting Sparkle
- Take It Off (Sometimes): While our pieces are designed to live with you, we recommend removing them before high-impact activities or heavy lifting to prevent accidental scratches or dings.
- Inspect Occasionally: For rings or pieces with diamonds, check the settings every so often to ensure the stones are secure. If you notice anything loose, reach out to a trusted jeweler for adjustments.
With the right care, your Zayla jewelry will stay just as bold, bright, and beautiful as the day it became yours. Because you deserve jewelry that’s as enduring as the moments it represents.
Finding the perfect ring size ensures that your Zayla jewelry fits comfortably and securely, enhancing your everyday sparkle. Here's how to determine your ideal fit:
1. Use Our Printable Ring Sizer
Visit our Ring Size Finder to access a printable ring sizer. This tool allows you to measure your finger accurately at home. Simply print the guide, follow the instructions, and find your perfect size.
2. Measure an Existing Ring
If you already own a ring that fits well, you can measure its diameter and match it to our sizing chart available on the same page. Ensure you measure from edge to edge across the center for the most accurate reading.
3. Visit a Local Jeweler
For the most precise measurement, consider visiting a local jeweler. They can provide professional sizing to ensure your new Zayla ring fits perfectly.
Tips for Accurate Sizing:
Time of Day Matters: Measure your finger at the end of the day when it's at its largest.
Consider Temperature: Cold weather can cause fingers to shrink, while heat can make them swell. Aim for a comfortable room temperature when measuring.
Account for Knuckle Size: If your knuckle is significantly larger than the base of your finger, measure both and choose a size in between to ensure the ring can slide over the knuckle but still fit snugly.
Remember, our rings are designed for daily wear, so finding the right size is key to comfort and style. If you're between sizes or unsure, it's often best to choose the larger size. And if you have any questions, our customer service team is here to help!
By following these steps, you'll ensure that your Zayla ring is a perfect fit, ready to complement your style effortlessly.
Yes, Zayla jewelry is hypoallergenic! All of our pieces are crafted from solid gold—either 10k or 14k—and are completely nickel-free, which is one of the most common metals that can cause skin irritation. By using high-quality materials like pure gold and lab-grown diamonds, we ensure that our jewelry is safe and comfortable to wear, even for those with sensitive skin.
Our designs are made for daily wear, so you can enjoy them worry-free, whether you're layering up for a big night out or keeping it simple at the office. If you have any specific concerns or sensitivities, feel free to reach out to our customer service team—we’re here to help!
Zayla jewelry is proudly crafted in Turkey and Mexico—two places with deep-rooted traditions of exceptional jewelry-making.
In Istanbul, the art of jewelry craftsmanship dates back thousands of years to the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, where skilled artisans created intricate, breathtaking designs. Today, that legacy continues, blending centuries-old techniques with modern precision to create pieces that feel timeless yet contemporary. Istanbul remains one of the world’s most renowned centers for fine gold jewelry, and our pieces reflect this rich heritage of artistry and attention to detail.
In Mexico, jewelry-making is a craft with a similarly storied past, drawing on indigenous techniques and materials that have been passed down for generations. Known for its bold, expressive designs and exceptional craftsmanship, Mexican artisans bring a unique warmth and authenticity to every piece they create.
By partnering with skilled artisans in both locations, we ensure that Zayla jewelry embodies the highest standards of quality and design, while also celebrating the vibrant histories and cultures of these two incredible places.
Every piece of Zayla jewelry tells a story—crafted with care, designed for your everyday, and inspired by the beauty of its origins.
