Types of Fashion Jewelry

We have a staff of experts who know the intricacies of each type of jewelry. It goes without saying that everything of the jewelry we offer is of the highest caliber.

The following are examples of types of fashionable jewelry:

Costume jewelry is made of plated metals and less priced or imitated stones.

Genuine gemstones and precious metals are used in high-end fashion jewelry.

You may be wondering now what the difference is between high-end fashion jewelry and fine jewelry. At the end of the day, they are both made of precious stones.


It's All About Style.

Fine jewelry, on the other hand, has a timeless appeal that is unaffected by trends. Tennis bracelets and necklaces with pearl chains are all good examples of this.) For decades, these timeless pieces have served as wardrobe essentials.


Material Types

For high-end fashion jewelry and exquisite jewelry, precious metals are used. When it comes to making jewelry that can be worn, we use precious metals like gold, platinum, and silver.

Gold or silver plating is used to lower-priced fashion jewelry. Because the piece's surface layer is constructed of precious metals, it also contains nickel and other fillers. The CDC estimates that up to 20 percent of Americans are allergic to nickel, which isn't a big deal for most individuals.

For those who are allergic to nickel, hypoallergenic jewelry may be a good investment. Nickel is almost never used in hypoallergenic jewelry, so it won't cause an allergic reaction.

Stainless steel, platinum, titanium and 14k and higher gold are some of the best metals for sensitive skin. Fine jewelry and high-end fashion jewelry are made from all of these metals. In addition to diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires, we also use gemstones in the creation of fine jewelry.

If you are allergic to metals, your feelings about jewelry may be mixed. There is a way out of this situation! Recreate your favorite piece of jewelry with precious metals and jewels by contacting us today. We'd be delighted to assist you in making your dreams a reality!

 

Jewelry Repairs

Soldering, the process of melting metal to unite two broken pieces of jewelry, is frequently used to repair damaged jewelry. The main issue is that low-cost fashion jewelry is often plated with a thin layer of gold or silver to make it appear more expensive. This thin coating can wear away and leave a discoloration on the jewelry where the repair was done…

In addition, it's crucial to keep in mind that metals have varying heat ranges. It's possible that the metals in your costume jewelry are a mix you're not familiar with. Jewelers would have difficulty getting the piece back in its original state. As a result, a jeweler may do a test repair on a small area first to evaluate how the soldering flame reacts to it.

Because they are made of precious metals, fine jewelry and high-end fashion jewelry are frequently easier to repair. Because of this, we can solder it as many times as necessary to get your priceless jewelry back to its original condition.
