Metal & Gemstones

Sterling Silver:

925 Sterling Silver is a standard material in high quality jewelry because it is long-lasting and flexible. It is a precious metal alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals. This combination of metals provides increased durability and strength compared to pure silver, which is relatively soft and can be prone to bending or scratching. The presence of other metals also helps prevent tarnishing, as pure silver tends to react with air and sulfur compounds in the environment, leading to discoloration and tarnish.

Don’t panic! All sterling silver is susceptible to oxidation, color fades over time and tarnish. This is normal wear and tear. The speed of how quickly this happens depends on various factors, such as how the jewelry is cared for, or whether it has been exposed or in contact with strong chemicals.

To keep your jewelry looking at its best, follow our jewelry care instructions.

Rhodium Plated:

Our silver-tone pieces are all plated in rhodium, a rare, precious metal that gives the piece extra durability - more scratch resistant and remains tarnish-free for a long time. On top of this we added electro-coating for extra durability and maximum longevity.

Gold-Plated or Rose Gold- Plated:

Our gold-tone pieces are all plated with a layer of 14k gold or rose gold on a 925 sterling silver base. On top of this we add electro-coating for extra durability and maximum longevity.
