Sterling Silver:
The items on our website are only solid sterling silver, electroplated with 18k gold/white gold/ rose gold/rhodium plating,
On its own, silver is too soft for practical, everyday use, so it’s mixed with other metals to create a more durable material known as sterling silver. Sterling silver is an alloy made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, so they are stamped with 925 to mark their authenticity.
Sterling silver, revered for its radiant luster and remarkable durability, has been cherished by artisans and collectors for centuries. Its illustrious history can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where it was prized for its inherent beauty and symbolic significance. Today, sterling silver continues to captivate hearts and inspire creativity, serving as a beloved medium for crafting exquisite jewelry pieces that stand the test of time.
Gold Plating:
For those seeking the luxury of gold without the hefty price tag, our gold-plated jewelry offers the perfect solution. By electroplating a thin layer of gold onto a sterling silver base, we offer pieces that exude the warmth and radiance of pure gold. Most of our products have 18K gold plating.
Rhodium Plating:
Rhodium is expensive, silvery-white metal in the platinum family. It has highly reflective quality that does not tarnish. Rhodium is allergy-friendly, harder than gold, and extremely durable.
Electroplating white gold and silver with rhodium provides more shine and protects jewelry against daily wear, preventing the softer metals from scratches.
Rhodium plating is particularly advantageous for its ease of cleaning, unlike certain white gold jewelry and other white metal pieces.
Jewelry plated with a rhodium does not cause skin reactions, opening up more jewelry options for people with sensitive skin and metal allergies. When alloys that react to body chemistry have rhodium plating, they become hypoallergenic.
Also rhodium plated jewelry does not tarnish, but it does wear out over time.
Cubic Zirconia:
We offer cubic zirconia stones with AAAA or AAAAA quality.
Cubic zirconia- synthetic gemstone, it is a crystalline cubic form of zirconium dioxide. While it can be found in nature as tiny crystals within baddeleyite and zircon, all cubic zirconia stones available today are man-made, produced exclusively in laboratories. These lab-created gems are crafted from high-purity zirconium oxide powders stabilized with magnesium and calcium.
Process begins with zirconium oxide being heated in a metal chamber, with calcium and magnesium carefully added to the mix. As the process unfolds, cubic zirconia crystals begin to form, once fully developed, the stones are sliced into desired shapes, which can vary from classic cuts like emerald and oval to more intricate designs such as pear-shaped. This process ensures that cubic zirconia exhibits the brilliance and allure of natural diamonds.
Freshwater Pearls:
Freshwater pearls are created by freshwater mussels in lakes, rivers and ponds. A freshwater mussel produce up to 50 pearls at a time (compared to the two to five pearls that saltwater oysters can contain).
All freshwater pearls in the market have been cultured, meaning they were grown in pearl farms. The current scientific cultivation technique involves trained technicians implanting stimulants in the mussels to stimulate pearl formation.
Lab-Grown Diamonds:
Ethical, eco-friendly, and equally as stunning as their natural counterparts, lab-grown diamonds are a shining example of innovation in the jewelry industry. By recreating the conditions found deep within the earth, scientists are able to produce diamonds that are chemically and optically identical to natural diamonds.
