What is Sucré Couture?

Sucré Couture is a Bay Area-born, Black-owned demi-fine jewelry brand founded by Kimberly Fomby Jefferson. We make 18K gold-plated, waterproof, non-tarnish jewelry rooted in 80s and 90s Black culture and femininity. As seen in British Vogue, Essence, Refinery29, NY Mag, and Byrdie. Available at Nordstrom and Wolf & Badger.

Is Sucré Couture jewelry actually waterproof?

Yes. Every piece is electroplated for added protection and built to handle everyday water exposure—sweat, rain, hand-washing, and light activity. We recommend removing jewelry before prolonged submersion (e.g., in pools, hot tubs, or long baths) and before applying perfume, lotion, or harsh chemicals. For full care tips, visit our Jewelry Care page.

Does 18K gold-plated jewelry tarnish?

All gold-plated jewelry will show wear over time — that's the nature of plating. What sets Sucré Couture apart is our electroplating process, which adds a protective layer that significantly extends the life of each piece. With proper care, your jewelry will maintain its brilliance for years.

Will your jewelry turn my skin green?

No. Our jewelry is hypoallergenic and plated over brass or stainless steel bases depending on the piece. We do not use nickel. If you have a known metal sensitivity, check the individual product page for material details or contact us before purchasing.
