What is zamak jewelry?

Jewelry made of zamak

zamak is a mixture of zinc, aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloy. Jewelry made from zamak is often still dipped in silver. Thanks to the high aluminum content and their pressure, they are firm and solid parts. The hardness gives them a bold appearance and has a longer lifespan than zinc.

zamak is a high-quality, economical material, 100% recyclable, has good resistance and good plastic deformability, and is the ideal material for the production of jewelry and accessories.

In addition to jewelry, zamak was introduced as a necessary complement to leather and fur clothing. It replaces brass, firstly due to the aesthetic gain and secondly due to the low investment costs it represents for major fashion and jewelry design houses worldwide.

Why is zamak used in jewelry?

Why do we like zamak and why should you choose it? Unlike typical accessories, zamak offers hypoallergenic properties due to its purity:

• Does not cause a rash when sweating occurs
• The zamak was developed for people with sensitive skin, so they can comfortably wear jewelry made of zamak
• It is a reliable alloy that keeps your skin clean and healthy without allergic reactions

The zamak alloy is of high quality. The combination of zinc, aluminum, and copper makes it an excellent material with the perfect hardness for fashion accessories. Finished products have an excellent coating to create necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants, and other stunning jewelry designs. It is capable of delivering detailed designs that are skillfully crafted and do not deteriorate, break, look worn out, or fade over time.

Zamak Main Features

Due to its high-quality properties that are easy to melt, unique pieces with special details and perfect surfaces can be produced.

Since zamak does not contain nickel, it becomes a completely hypoallergenic material that is suitable for daily use and for all skin types.

zamak is naturally cheaper than silver, but has the same soft shine.

Zamak jewelry is usually silver-plated or gold-plated to enhance the beauty and details of each piece.

Zamak does not break or turn black over time, it is lighter than steel and has almost the same resistance.

Zamak Jewelry Care

One of the main advantages of zamak over other materials like silver is that it does not tarnish. Over time, it may lose some of its shine, but with regular cleaning of the zamak pieces and the application of appropriate techniques, it is very easy to maintain their shine for many years. To clean the zamak, the pieces only need to be washed with neutral soap or with water and a glass cleaner, and then dried thoroughly.

That's why we love zamak jewelry so much! Its shine and resistance are preserved.

The jewelry pieces in zamak do not require special care, as it is sufficient to wash them with water and soap, and then dry them very well with a cotton cloth. It is recommended to store them in a bag in a cool place.

The different types of ZAMAK alloys

Typical characteristics of the main types of zamak:
