"VEHR-MAY"

Gold Vermeil is a type of gold-finished material composed of a thicker layer of 14-24k gold over solid Sterling Silver.

The thickness of the gold portion is usually 2.5 microns, and that's what sets Gold Vermeil apart from simple gold-plated pieces.

SURGICAL STEEL (316L)

Stainless steel jewelry that is made like surgical-grade stainless steel is perfectly safe to wear.

The anti-corrosive and hypoallergenic nature of surgical stainless steel is precisely what makes it so ideal for the medical industry; implants and other medical devices are made from this type of stainless steel, as it easily tolerates the body’s harsh environment.

S925

Sterling Silver is one of the longest standing precious metals used in jewelry. Sterling silver is usually 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, and this is how its name " 925 Silver " is formed.

*Sterling silver will tarnish and scratch more easily than other metals. But the tarnish can be removed.

Cultured pearls are real pearls, grown in either freshwater or saltwater. They form when an irritant is inserted into an oyster shell. The process of culturing pearls is monitored by a pearl farmer—helping to keep the animal alive and allowing for high-quality pearls to form.

Natural pearls are very rare and fetch high prices at auctions.

Basically, there are four major types of cultured whole pearls:

(a) Akoya Cultured Pearls

(b) South Sea Cultured Pearls

(c) Tahitian Cultured Pearls

(d) Freshwater Cultured Pearls

KNOWN AS "CZ"

Cubic Zirconia is a mineral, zirconium oxide, which is very rare in nature but can be man-made to create a brilliant gemstone with all the fire of a diamond.

We mostly use only 4A & 5A high-quality CZ - they are recognized by their clarity, brightness & durability
