By staying true to natural precious metals and their innate richness, we maintain the absolute highest quality in every one of our pieces. We stay away from any substitutes, such as gold plating and gold filled. Why? Because when you layer gold over silver or another base metal, the metal core will oxidize and tarnish your gold from the inside out, eventually affecting its appearance and value. In contrast, our pieces are all made from real precious metals that will stand the test of time and can be passed down from one generation to the next.

So, what exactly is 925 Sterling Silver? It is a more functional version of pure 99.99% silver, especially for the intended purpose of jewelry. Functional because pure silver is very soft and malleable. By creating an alloy mix with other metals, it becomes much more durable.

Unlike gold with a variety of gold to alloy ratios such as 14k, 18k, 22k ; there is only one baseline standard to be considered Sterling Silver and that is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals - hence the name 925 Sterling Silver.

Certified 925 Sterling Silver jewelry is stamped with "925", distinguishing itself between other metals such as stainless steel.

Rhodium is a chrome-white & corrosion-resistant precious metal. It is very shiny and reflects up to 80 percent of light. Rhodium gives off one of the best sheens achievable, making it a very popular metal for jewelry. Rhodium is very rare as it is never found as a single mineral. Rather, it is cultivated in very small quantities within platinum ores. Combine this scarcity with the huge demand for rhodium and its high-shine appearance, and you can see why rhodium is the world's most expensive precious metal. In fact, it beats out both gold and silver by a huge margin.
