The Orifolia O-Rating™— our seal of real-life testing.
Jewelry Verified for Real Life
A clear, visual system that helps you understand how your jewelry performs — and how to make it last.
Inspired by the IP-rating used in tech, but created for modern jewelry that lives with you.
Learn How We Test
What the O-Rating™ Means
Each Orifolia piece earns its own O-Rating™, a transparent score showing how it performs in four daily-life conditions:
The Four Dimensions
| Symbol | Element | What it Measures | What it Means |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☀️ Sun | Daily Use | Resistance to everyday wear — light exposure, contact with fabrics, gentle friction. | Designed for continuous, all-day use. Perfect for those who never take their jewelry off. |
| 💧 Dew | Humidity & Shower | Resistance to sweat, water, and mild soaps. | Pieces rated high in Dew are safe for showers, workouts, and summer heat. |
| 🌬️ Breeze | Movement & Snag | Flexibility and snag resistance on clothes and hair. | The smoother the design, the higher its Breeze score — made to move with you. |
| 🕊️ Nest | Sleep Comfort | Comfort and pressure resistance during rest or overnight wear. | Lightweight and soft-edged designs earn higher Nest ratings — perfect for sleeping in. |
🪞 Example on Product Page:☀️ Sun 3 · 💧 Dew 1 · 🌬️ Breeze 3 · 🕊️ Nest 2
Think of it as a small map of your jewelry’s comfort zone — helping you know when to wear it, and when to give it a rest.
How to Read It
The higher the rating (1–3), the more the piece can handle that condition.
It’s not a challenge — it’s a guide.
Because knowing when to keep it on is just as important as knowing when to give it rest.
How We Test
Every Orifolia piece is evaluated through gentle, real-life simulations — simple enough to repeat, precise enough to trust.
Each element of the O-Rating™ follows its own protocol:
☀️ Sun (Daily Use): tested through continuous wear, gentle friction with fabrics, and exposure to natural light.
💧 Dew (Humidity & Shower): immersed in saltwater for 24 hours and rinsed through cleaning cycles to simulate sweat, steam, and mild soap contact.
🌬️ Breeze (Movement & Snag): brushed 200 times against cotton and wool to measure snag resistance and edge smoothness.
🕊️ Nest (Sleep Comfort): worn for 8-hour rest simulations on soft surfaces to assess pressure points and overnight comfort.
Results are verified before every new release, and updated if the design changes.
Transparency over perfection: our goal isn’t to make jewelry that does everything — it’s to help you understand what yours does best.
Why We Created It
The O-Rating™ was born from our frustration with vague promises like “waterproof” or “tarnish-free.”
Real life isn’t perfect — and neither is jewelry.
So we built a system that respects both: your skin and your expectations.
This way, you know exactly what you’re buying — and how to care for it for years.
O-Rating™ = Comfort. Clarity. Confidence.
The Orifolia standard for jewelry that truly lives with you.
