At Jara Precious Jewelry, we think it's important to keep our footprint as low as possible. That's why we only work with 100% recycled 18-karat gold, 100% recycled rose gold and 100% recycled sterling silver. We also only work with manufacturers who have a particularly good reputation in the industry and are known for their quality. By being as efficient as possible with our materials, they try to minimize our footprint.
Our jewelry is made of recycled 925 sterling silver and has a plating of recycled Rhodium (silver). This material ensures that the jewelry remains beautiful and retains their shine in the long term. Or the jewelry has a plating of recycled 18-karat gold or recycled rose gold
Our jewelry is made of 925 sterling silver. 925 silver is an alloy : this means that it contains silver for 92,5% of which copper is added for 7,5%. We plate our silver with rhodium. Silver can discolor as a result of exposure to for example air, creams and perfumes and Rhodium helps to prevent that.
The jewelry is not made of solid gold; the jewelry is 925 sterling silver or Gold Vermeil. Vermeil is a term that refers to 925 sterling silver with a thick layer of gold on top. Various basic materials can be used with Gold Plated. At Vermeil, the base is always 925 sterling silver. This is also the base of our gold jewelry. You can use different base materials, but we chose Vermeil because this contributes to the quality and the jewelry can also be worn by people with allergies.
Vermeil is higher quality than gold plated and therefore the jewelry will last longer. This has to do with the plated layer. With gold plating the layer is usually quite thin, it can be gold plated starting 0,5 micron, this easily wears off. Jewelry can use the term vermeil when the plated layer is at least 2,5 micron , this is a lot thicker and therefore the color will keep its beauty much longer. Another huge advantage is the base, this is always 925 sterling silver for vermeil so people with allergies can also wear it. Vermeil makes gold jewelry affordable. Vermeil jewelry is high quality without the high-quality price tag. With our jewelry you go for the golden look for a more affordable price.
We use 100% natural gemstones for all our gemstone jewelry. Each type of gemstone is unique and has unique characteristics. The effect of gemstones also differs per type. We work with moonstone for our maternity jewelry. A stone known as the stone of fertility and reproduction. Moonstone may provide support during pregnancy. The stone is connected with the feminine energy and may support a child's wish.
We use rose quartz for our Always Mama Collection and Tiny Stars Collection. This soft and calming beauty is known as the stone of love. The stone supports during pregnancy. After delivery, the stone promotes a new mother's recovery and helps the baby feel welcome. In addition, rose quartz relieves the heart and may offer comfort in grief.
