At Lupine, we pride ourselves on creating jewelry that epitomizes elegance, quality, and durability. Each piece in our collection is meticulously crafted using high-quality 925 silver, ensuring a solid foundation for our exquisite designs. We plate our jewelry with durable 18K gold, 22K gold, or rhodium, providing both beauty and longevity.
The Foundation: High-Quality 925 Silver
Our commitment to quality starts with the selection of 925 silver, also known as sterling silver. 925 silver consists of 92.5% pure silver, combined with 7.5% other metals, usually copper, to enhance its strength and durability. Sterling silver is renowned for its lustrous appearance and its ability to withstand the test of time, making it the perfect base for our jewelry.
The Rising Value of Silver: A Material to Keep
Silver's cost has been steadily increasing, making it a valuable material to hold onto. This precious metal's rising value is driven by increased demand in various industries, supply constraints, and economic factors.
The Luxury of Gold Plating: 18K and 22K Gold
To elevate our designs, we plate our 925 silver pieces with layers of either 18K or 22K gold. Gold plating not only adds a luxurious touch but also provides additional protection against tarnishing and wear. The choice of 18K or 22K gold ensures a rich, vibrant color that exudes sophistication and elegance. Whether you prefer the classic warmth of 18K gold or the deeper hue of 22K gold, our jewelry offers a timeless appeal that complements any style.
The Radiance of Rhodium Plating
In addition to gold, we also utilize rhodium plating in our silver color jewelry collection. Rhodium, a rare and precious metal from the platinum family, is highly sought after for its brilliant, reflective finish. Rhodium plating enhances the shine and durability of our silver pieces, offering superior resistance to scratches and tarnish. The result is a stunning, mirror-like finish that maintains its beauty over time.
