18k
Italian Gold

An 18 karats, this simply means that out of a total of 24 parts, 18 parts of the piece are gold, and 6 parts are made up of other metals. The additional metals in 18K gold serve to make the alloy harder and more durable than pure gold (24K), which is too soft for jewelry.

Mined Diamonds

Diamond is a solid form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. Most natural diamonds have ages between 1 billion and 3.5 billion years. Most were formed at depths between 150 and 250 kilometres (93 and 155 mi) in the Earth’s mantle.

Lab-grown Diamonds

“We use lab-grown diamonds because it’s the logical choice, they’re cheaper, but have the same characteristics as mined diamonds.”

The main difference between a lab-grown diamond and a naturally-mined diamond is simply the way it is created. A mined diamond is formed naturally deep beneath the Earth’s crust where temperatures and pressures are very high.

We imitate that same process in our lab using a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process.

Pearls

A pearl is a hard, glistening object produced within the soft tissue (specifically the mantle) of a living shelled mollusk or another animal, such as fossil conulariids. Just like the shell of a mollusk, a pearl is composed of calcium carbonate (mainly aragonite or a mixture of aragonite and calcite) in minute crystalline form, which has deposited in concentric layers.
