Our Materials

Perlamuse jewelry is handcrafted using the finest materials, sourced and designed for everyday wear. It is made to withstand the impacts of everyday life and when properly maintained, it will continue to shine.

✨ 1. Sterling Silver

Sterling Silver (925 Silver) is widely used in jewelry making due to its durability, safety, hypoallergenic properties, and is believed to offer several health benefits.

Originating from Italy, one of the world's most renowned countries for silver quality, 925 Silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper, resulting in products that are shiny, durable, and exquisitely crafted.

✨ 2. Gold Vermeil

Vermeil gold is a thick layer of 16k gold plated over a Sterling Silver core, nickel-free, and finished with a special transparent E-coating to extend the jewelry's lifespan. This coating is ultra-thin, lightweight, and invisible, yet acts as a durable layer that makes the jewelry more long-lasting.

Vermeil gold jewelry is popular in the United States, Canada, and European countries due to its reasonable price, diverse designs, good quality, and versatility. It is 100% nickel-free, hypoallergenic, and will not irritate the skin.

✨ 2. Diamond: Cubic Zirconia (CZ)

Cubic Zirconia is abbreviated as CZ, also known as "Artificial Diamond" because it is a man-made gemstone that resembles a diamond. In essence, they are a form of man-made crystals made from a mixture of refining with high purity zirconium oxide powder at high temperature and pressure. Jewelers from Perlamuse select the highest quality CZ (grade AA) and have a brightness comparable to that of a natural diamond.

✨ 4. Gold Filled

Gold Filled (GF) is a special type of jewelry material, in which a layer of real gold (usually 14k or 18k) is tightly bonded to a base metal such as copper or silver through a process using heat and pressure. The key difference is that the gold layer makes up at least 5% of the jewelry's total weight, giving it lasting durability and shine, much like solid gold.

Unlike gold plating, where the gold layer is very thin and prone to peeling, Gold Filled has a much thicker layer, allowing the piece to retain its luxurious appearance without fading quickly.

✨ 5. Freshwater cultured pearls

Freshwater cultured pearls are pearls formed in freshwater environments such as ponds, lakes, and rivers through the process of implanting a nucleus into the mollusk. They have a natural luster, diverse shapes, affordable prices, and are commonly used in jewelry making.
