Everything you need to know about Zamak

The world of jewelry has seen a boom in the popularity of versatile and durable materials. One of those that has gained ground is Zamak , a material that combines aesthetics and durability. At Enso Spain, where we work with unique elements such as volcanic lava and olivine, Zamak plays a key role in many of our pieces.

What is Zamak ?

Zamak is an alloy of zinc with aluminium , magnesium and copper . Its name comes from the combination of the initials of these four elements. This mixture not only offers a shiny metallic finish , but also has properties that make it ideal for the creation of jewellery. It is resistant to corrosion and, as it does not contain lead or nickel, it is hypoallergenic , making it a safe option for people with sensitive skin. In addition, Zamak has an excellent performance against galvanising and polishing processes, allowing the creation of pieces with very detailed and elegant finishes.

At Enso Spain , our Zamak jewelry reflects the fusion of quality and innovative design, always inspired by the volcanic elements that characterize us.

Advantages of Zamak in jewelry

Choosing jewelry pieces made of Zamak has multiple benefits, especially for those looking for an affordable, high-quality alternative. Here are some of its most notable advantages:

1. Durability : Zamak is highly resistant to knocks and daily wear. This ensures that the jewelry pieces remain in good condition for a long time, even with frequent use.
2. High-quality finishes: Thanks to its properties, Zamak can be plated in silver, gold or other precious metals, achieving a premium finish that highlights the design of each piece.
3. Versatility: Zamak can be used in a wide variety of styles , from modern and minimalist pieces to more elaborate creations with volcanic details, such as olivine or lava.

Care and maintenance of your Zamak jewelry

Although Zamak is a durable material, it is always advisable to give it certain care to prolong its useful life and maintain its shine . Below are some tips to take care of your Zamak jewelry:

• Avoid contact with water: Although Zamak is resistant to corrosion , it is advisable to avoid prolonged contact with water or chemicals, such as perfumes or creams. This will help keep its finish intact.
• Store them in a dry place: To avoid possible damage, it is ideal to store your Zamak jewelry in a dry place and, if possible, inside a cloth bag or a special jewelry box.
• Clean them with a soft cloth: A microfibre cloth is perfect for cleaning and polishing your Zamak pieces, restoring their original shine.

Our Zamak jewellery not only represents these values, but also combines unique elements such as lava and olivine, creating pieces that tell a unique story.
