Have you ever thought about which metal to choose when buying jewelry?

The choice can be complicated when these metals are unfamiliar to us. This article will tell you more about the differences betweengold,sterling silver and vermeil.

OUR BOUTIQUE-ATELIER "LA LUEUR DE L'AUBE" located in Paris , OFFERS HAND-MADE, CUSTOMIZED JEWELRY, WITH A CHOICE OF THREE PRECIOUS METALS.

gold & 18-carat gold

Gold, the precious metal that has fascinated people for millennia, is a symbol of luxury and elegance. Its use in jewelry dates back to antiquity, when it was fashioned into sumptuous ornaments for kings and noblemen.

Its exceptional malleability makes it the perfect material for creating delicate, sophisticated jewelry, where every detail is meticulously crafted. Whether in yellow, white or rose gold, it adds a touch of refinement to any piece. Its timeless brilliance and durability make it a popular choice for engagement rings, wedding bands, necklaces and earrings.

In addition to its aesthetic value, gold also possesses profound symbolic significance, representing eternal love and wealth. Today, modern goldsmiths are pushing the boundaries of creativity by marrying gold with other precious materials and exploring new design techniques, while preserving their traditional heritage. Whether worn as a family heirloom or given as a symbol of affection, gold remains a timeless icon in the art of jewelry.

For example, 24-carat gold is 100% pure, but too soft to be used alone in jewelry. Gold is therefore often alloyed with other metals to improve its strength. 18-carat gold, composed of 75% pure gold and 25% other metals, is commonly used for high-quality jewelry, offering both durability and brilliance. 14-carat gold (58.5% pure gold) and 10-carat gold (41.7% pure gold) are also popular options, offering a balance between quality and affordability.

La lueur de l'aube offers jewelry in 18-carat YELLOW, WHITE, GRAY OR PINK GOLD. If you choose gold for your jewelry, you'll also have a choice of color. “LA LUEUR DE L'AUBE" OFFERS HAND-MADE, CUSTOMIZED AND CUSTOM-MADE JEWELRY in Paris.

925/ sterling silver

925 silver, also known assterling silver, is a precious metal prized in jewelry for its beauty and durability. Composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, it offers added strength while retaining its distinctive lustre.

In jewelry,925 silver is often used to create a diverse range of pieces, from rings to necklaces to earrings. Its versatility enables craftsmen to create both classic and contemporary designs, capturing the essence of timeless elegance.

Whether polished for a lustrous finish or oxidized for a vintage look,925 silver offers the perfect canvas for expressing creativity and style. What's more, its more affordable price than gold makes it a popular choice for those seeking quality jewelry without breaking the bank. With proper care, 925 silver jewelry can last a lifetime, becoming treasured pieces passed down from generation to generation.

"LA LUEUR DE L'AUBE" offers a wide choice of sterling silver jewelry in its handmade collections, as well as custom jewelry orders. Inspired by nature, the brand offers elegant, handcrafted jewelry for women in Paris.

THE VERMEIL

Vermeil, a term that evokes subtle luxury, is a popular jewelry option for its elegant allure and durability. Comprising a base often made of sterling silver, it is SKILLFULLY coated with a layer of pure gold. This fusion gives vermeil a brilliance comparable to solid gold, while remaining a more economical option.

In jewelry, vermeil is often used to create sophisticated pieces such as rings, necklaces and earrings. Its unique combination of richness and strength makes it a popular choice for those seeking high-quality jewelry at an affordable price. With proper care, vermeil can retain its splendor for many years, becoming a valuable investment in art and refinement.

Like gold-plating, vermeil offers the possibility of giving silver or other metal jewelry an elegant golden hue, catering to everyone's preferences.
