we started nimata because we were tired of gold jewelry that didn't last.
take it off before the shower. don't wear it to the gym. keep it away from water, sweat, perfume, sunscreen. we spent years buying gold jewelry we loved and watching it fade, tarnish, and turn our skin green within months. the pieces we wanted to wear every single day were the ones that couldn't handle every single day.
we found it in pvd — physical vapor deposition. it's the same technology used in medical implants and aerospace engineering. when you bond 18k gold to 316l surgical-grade stainless steel using pvd, you get jewelry that looks identical to solid gold but is fundamentally more durable. it doesn't fade. it doesn't tarnish. it doesn't react with your skin. ever.
nimata isn't a made-up brand name or a marketing concept. it's a name that means something to us — something real and close. we built this brand the way we want to wear jewelry: honestly, without pretension, and without compromise.
jewelry should be the last thing you think about in the morning and the last thing you take off at night. actually — you shouldn't take it off at all.
every piece we sell is built to last. not for a season, not for a year — indefinitely. we use 18k gold pvd coating over 316l surgical steel because it's the most durable gold finish available.
we don't mark up our products 40x because of a brand name. we don't use vague language about our materials. we tell you exactly what you're getting — and it's exceptional.
our jewelry is waterproof, sweatproof, and designed to be worn 24/7. in the ocean, in the gym, in the shower. put it on and forget about it.
