Oak and Luna Jewelry in Real Life: How 4 Pieces Held Up Over Time

When I first tested Oak and Luna, I was impressed by their clean design, customization, and feel-good packaging. But if you’re like me, you’re probably wondering:

"Will this jewelry actually hold up over time?"

A few months later—and after daily wear, travel, work meetings, brunches, and even the occasional shower (oops)—I’m ready to share with you the real-life durability test of five Oak and Luna pieces.

🕒 Timeline: 90 Days of Wear

I picked the four most wearable pieces from my initial review and rotated them, paired them with other jewelry, and sometimes even forgot to take them off (hello, lazy bedtime routines).

The pieces:

Pillar Bar Necklace – 14K Solid Gold

Classic Hoop Earrings – 14K Solid Gold

Inez Initial Ring with Diamond – 14K Gold

Tiny Initial Ring – Sterling Silver

Let’s break down how each held up.

✨ Pillar Bar Necklace – 14K Solid Gold

Material: 14K Solid Gold
Wear Style: Worn nearly every day, including in the shower
What Held Up:
Still looks brand new—no tarnish, no scratches, no dulling.
The engraving is crisp, and the gold has that unmistakable buttery gleam.

Final Verdict: Heirloom material for a reason. If you want zero-maintenance jewelry, go solid gold.

🔁 Classic Hoop Earrings – 14K Solid Gold

Material: 14K Solid Gold
Wear Style: Worn during workouts, errands, and nights out
What Held Up:
Lightweight yet durable—no bending or warping.
Still snap perfectly into place, no loose hinges.

Bonus: These hoops go with everything—I’m honestly not reaching for any other pair right now.

Final Verdict: The MVP of my earring collection.

💍 Inez Initial Ring with Diamond

Material: 14K Solid Gold + Diamond
Wear Style: Alternate days, never worn to bed or in water
What Held Up:
The band hasn’t bent or lost shape.
Diamond still catches light (subtle but noticeable).

What to Note:

Due to how delicate it looks, I baby this one a little more—just personal preference.

Final Verdict: A stunner for special moments or stacking with care.

🪞Tiny Initial Ring – Sterling Silver

Material: Sterling Silver
Wear Style: Pinky finger ring, worn daily but not in water
What Held Up:
No tarnish or green residue (even without polishing)
Still fits snug and hasn't stretched or bent

Tip: If you're prone to sweating or washing hands often, consider storing silver pieces in an anti-tarnish pouch.

Final Verdict: For the price point, this one seriously over-delivers.

Pillar Necklace	Solid Gold	✅ Yes	❌ None	✅ Absolutely
Classic Hoops	Solid Gold	✅ Yes	❌ None	✅ Yes
