1. What Materials are Areei Jewellery made from:

Areei jewellery is crafted from a selection of high-quality materials to ensure both durability and aesthetic appeal. Our Jewellery will last you a lifetime if properly taken care of. Our range includes: 

 

Stainless Steel:

Stainless steel is a highly durable metal alloy composed of steel and a small percentage of chromium. It is known for its corrosion resistance and strength, making it an excellent choice for long-lasting jewellery.

Properties:

  • Tarnish-Free: Stainless steel resists tarnishing, ensuring your jewellery maintains its shine over time.
  • Hypoallergenic: It is suitable for individuals with sensitive skin as it's less likely to cause allergic reactions.
  • Durable: This metal is robust and resistant to wear and tear, making it ideal for everyday wear

 

925 Sterling Silver:

Sterling silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. This combination enhances the durability and strength of the metal.

Properties:

  • Timeless Elegance: Sterling silver has a classic, elegant appearance that complements various styles.
  • Hypoallergenic: It's generally well-tolerated by those with sensitive skin.
  • Versatile: Silver jewellery pairs well with a wide range of outfits and occasions.

 

Titanium Plated:

Titanium plating involves adding a layer of titanium to the surface of another metal, providing enhanced strength and durability.

Properties:

  • Scratch-Resistant: Titanium plating adds a protective layer that helps prevent scratches and wear.
  • Lightweight: Despite its strength, titanium is incredibly light, ensuring comfort during wear.

 

Platinum Plated:

Platinum plating involves a thin layer of platinum applied to the surface of another material through electroplating. This creates a surface with the appearance and some of the properties of pure platinum.

Properties:

  • Corrosion Resistance: Platinum is highly resistant to corrosion and tarnish. As a result, platinum plated items are less likely to deteriorate over time compared to non-plated metals.
  • Durability: Platinum is a durable and hard metal, making platinum-plated items more resistant to scratches and wear compared to other metals.
  • Hypoallergenic: Platinum is a hypoallergenic metal, meaning it is less likely to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. This makes platinum-plated jewellery suitable for individuals with sensitive skin.

 

18K Gold Plated:

18K gold plating involves bonding a layer of 18-karat gold onto the surface of another metal.

Properties:

  • Luxurious Aesthetic: This plating offers the opulence of gold at a more affordable price point.
  • Shiny and Lustrous: Gold plating gives a brilliant shine to jewellery, creating a radiant appearance.

PVD Coated:

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating involves applying a thin, durable layer of material to a surface using a vacuum process.

Properties:

  • Exceptional Durability: PVD coatings are highly resistant to wear, making them suitable for everyday wear.

 

Cubic Zirconia (CZ):

Cubic Zirconia is a synthetic gemstone that resembles a diamond. It's a popular alternative due to its brilliance and affordability.

Properties:

  • Sparkling Brilliance: CZ stones are known for their radiant sparkle, adding a touch of glamour to your jewellery.
  • Durable: While not as hard as a diamond, CZ is still quite resilient and suitable for everyday wear.

 

Moissanite:

Moissanite is a diamond alternative composed of silicon carbide and is a naturally occurring mineral. However, Moissanite used in jewellery is typically lab-created allowing for controlled quality and a more environmentally friendly and ethical production process.

Properties:

  • Durability: Moissanite is very durable and resistant to scratching and chipping, making it suitable for everyday wear.
  • Cost: Moissanite is much less expensive than diamonds. This is because it can be created in a laboratory
  • Sparkling Brilliance: Moissanite exhibits exceptional brilliance and fire. Its refractive index (a measure of how much a gemstone can bend light) is higher than that of a diamond, which means it has more sparkle and brilliance.

We take pride in offering a diverse selection of materials to cater to individual tastes, ensuring that each piece of jewellery from Areei is not only beautiful but also tailored to your preferences and needs.
