Materials Guide
Here's a guide to the materials we use to make the durable, water-resistant, hypoallergenic jewelry you wear.
Metals
14K Gold Vermeil
14K gold vermeil starts with a base of genuine 925 sterling silver — then gets coated in a thick layer of 14K gold (much thicker than standard plating). The result? A rich, fine-jewelry finish that’s more durable, more long-lasting, and more hypoallergenic than traditional plated pieces.
14K Gold-Filled
Gold-filled jewelry offers the look and longevity of solid gold without the fine-jewelry price. Instead of a thin, flash-plated layer, gold-filled pieces are made by permanently bonding thick layers of 14K solid gold to a durable base metal using heat and pressure. This creates a finish that’s water-resistant, hypoallergenic, and far more long-lasting than traditional gold plating.
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is made for real life. It’s 92.5% pure silver strengthened with a small percentage of alloy metals, giving it durability while keeping that signature shine. It’s naturally hypoallergenic and designed to handle everyday wear.
Rhodium-Plated
Rhodium plating adds a protective, high-shine finish to your jewelry. It helps resist tarnishing, scratching, and discoloration — creating a long-lasting, polished look.
Stones
Lab Grown Sapphires
Lab-grown sapphires are real sapphires created in a controlled environment, giving them the same brilliance, durability, and chemical composition as natural stones. Their clarity and precision-cut sparkle make them an ethical, modern choice for everyday luxury.
Pearls
Pearls are organic gemstones, formed in nature and celebrated for their soft, luminous finish. Their surface is delicate by design, which is part of what makes them so special.
Genuine Gemstones
Our gemstones are genuine mineral crystals, cut and polished to highlight their natural character. Each stone is unique, with variations and inclusions that make it one of a kind.
Turquoise
Turquoise is one of the oldest gemstones used in jewelry, valued for its rich color and natural veining. Unlike harder stones, turquoise is a porous mineral, which means it can absorb oils, lotions, and liquids over time — part of its charm, but also why it needs gentler care.
