What the piece is actually made of.
Two facts decide everything else about a piece here: the metal underneath, and the stone that is set into it. Both are stated on every product page, because a page that hides them is not much use to a buyer.
The metal
Solid sterling silver, not a base-metal core.
S925 means 92.5% silver. It is a precious metal in its own right, which is why a sterling silver piece carries weight and takes a polish differently from brass or a zinc alloy. Where a piece is gold plated, that plating is applied over the sterling silver — the core does not change.
The stone
Moissanite is grown, then cut like any other stone.
Lab-created moissanite is produced in a laboratory rather than mined. It is a hard stone with a high refractive index, which is why these pieces throw colour in low light where a diamond would look flat. Pieces that set no stone at all say so on their own page.
What we use
Three facts, stated plainly.
- Sterling silver, not plated base metal
- The body of every piece is solid S925 sterling silver — 92.5% silver. Plating, where a piece has it, sits on top of that core rather than replacing it.
- Lab-created moissanite
- The stones are grown in a laboratory rather than mined. Moissanite has a different refractive index from diamond, which is why the pieces throw more colour in low light.
- Three finishes
- Polished silver, 14k gold plated and 18k gold plated. The finish is stated on every product page, and it comes from the product data rather than the page layout.
