ABOUT GEMSTONES & DIAMONDS In today’s market, there are three type of gemstones which are called “Diamond”. First, oldest and most expensive one is Authentic Natural Diamond. Second one is called “Lab-Created Diamond” which is still accepted as a real Diamond in compositional perspective. Third one is called “Lab-Created Man-Made Simulated (or Simulant) Diamond. These are basically Synthetic Diamonds. For people who can’t afford real diamonds or want a 100-percent guarantee that their diamond is conflict-free, synthetic diamonds are a good substitute. Cubic Zirconia, commonly called CZ, is a laboratory gem that has been on the market since 1976. For many years, the main synthetic diamond option available was cubic zirconia, but now consumers can also choose from Moissanite, Crystals (Svarowsky or Austrian) and other man-made diamonds. Cubic zirconia (CZ) is the finest simulated diamond on today’s market; like diamonds, cubic zirconia is colorless and do not lose their brilliance. CZ offers a combined high value of refractive index, dispersion and hardness (Mohs hardness: 8.5; refractive index: 2.15; specific gravity: 5.8). Cubic zirconia are chemically comprised of zirconium oxide and yttrium oxide. Similar to natural stones, CZs vary in color, clarity and cut. Cubic Zirconia stones are cut in the same way diamonds are cut. Top grade crystals are glass crystals cut in a process in which Daniel Swarovski (1862-1956), the son of a glass faceter, developed in 1892. He mechanized technique for faceting glass crystals, creating a sparkling, diamond-like “chaton”. Synthetic stones are man-made, but having the same physical, chemical and optical characteristics as the natural stone. Synthetic stones are made in laboratories; these stones generally lack imperfections. Genuine natural stones are any gemstones that may be used as a jewel when cut and polished and are valued for their beauty but which are not one of the four “precious stones” (emerald diamond ruby or sapphire). Some examples of semi-precious stones are amethyst, aventurine, carnelian, garnet, opal, peridot, rose, quartz, etc. Epoxy is tough resistant thermosetting synthetic resins containing epoxy groups: used in surface coatings, laminates, and adhesives. ABOUT METALS Brass Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc; the proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties. For jewelry, at least 67% copper and 33% zinc is used. This mixture helps the brass become stronger and more durable than copper alone which allows for superb electroplating quality. Thus, the perfect mixture for fashion jewelry. .925 Sterling Silver .925 sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver, the highest percentage of fine silver possible for jewelry subject to everyday wear. Fine silver (99.9% pure) is generally too soft and malleable for jewelry; therefore the silver is usually alloyed with copper to give it strength, while at the same time preserving the ductility and beauty of the precious metal. Stainless Steel Stainless steel (Tusk 316) used in fashion jewelry is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10% chromium content by mass. Stainless Steel does not stain, corrode or rust as easily as ordinary steel, and is hypoallergenic. Thus it is extensively used in heavy gauge welded components such as jewelry. Tusk 316 stainless steel is the highest quality stainless steel for jewelry products. 10 Kt gold 10 Kt goldis synthetic (mixed with other metals, often silver and copper) to make it cheaper and more hardness …, 10 kt gold is 10/24 gold (containing 43.5% gold), or in other words, 10 karats (10K) gold contains 10 parts of gold to 14 parts of other metals. Nonmetallic When there’s no plating , it also does not cause allergies. It looks darker and grayer than SS925. Stainless steel is an iron alloy, wherein it comprises more than 10% chromium. In the process of manufacturing, the alloy will add some chromium, making it more hardness, and oxidation will cover on the variation surface. White Metal White metal is any of several light-colored alloys used as a base for things like jewelry. Some of the metals that make up a white metal alloy are antimony, tin, lead, cadmium, bismuth and zinc. Not all of these metals are found in all white metal alloys but are mixed to achieve a desired need. As an example, a based metal for jewelry needs to be castable in fine detail and polishable. Resin Resin is a durable and transparent plastic that is especially suited to jewelry making because of its ease of use. It begins in a liquid form, but after it has been cast is quite durable. Special resin molds with smooth surfaces are created to give resin its glossy finish. ABOUT PLATINGS Gold Gold plating is a thin coating of electroplated or mechanically plated gold on top of a base metal. Gold is alloyed mixed with other metals, usually silver and copper to make it less expensive, harder, and longer lasting. 10 karat gold is about 43.5% gold. IP Gold Gold Ion Plating (PVD) IP gold plating is one of the most advanced surface finishing processes in the jewelry trade today. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating is made up of thin layers of metal that are bonded together through a rig. In traditional gold plating processes, the gold coating on the surface rubs off over time. However, Ion plating makes the gold plating more durable, more wear resistant, and also has a higher luster. With proper care, gold ion plated jewelry will last for decades, longer than traditional fashion jewelry. Not only is it longer lasting but also it is more sustainable than traditional plating processes. Rose Gold Rose gold is an alloy of gold mixed with copper, which gives it a rosy tint; this process is bonded through an electrical process to a base metal core. IP Rose Gold Rose Gold Ion Plating (PVD) Rose gold jewelry is alluringly beautiful and flattering against all skin tones, just gold mixed with copper. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating is made up of thin layers of metal that are bonded together through a rig. Using one of the most advanced surface finishing processes in the jewelry trade today, Rose Gold Lust is quality crafted using our new gold ion plating process that is more durable, more wear resistant, and has a higher luster than traditional plating processes. Silver Silver plating is the process of bonding an extremely thin layer of silver to a base metal; most commonly used are copper, brass, white metal, or nickel. Rhodium Rhodium is a noble metal with a whitish gray appearance. Rhodium is typically applied to metal through the electroplating process. A thin plating of rhodium, which is one of the members of the platinum family, applied over either sterling or other alloy to give a bright, shiny, long-lasting silver-colored finish to a piece. Ruthenium Ruthenium is a gunmetal finish. To create a darker appearance black nickel is added to the ruthenium to give the gunmetal finish. Two-Tone Two-Tone is a combination of two or more color plating. IP Two-Tone Two-Tone Ion Plating (PVD) is a combination of two platings or tones, for example, a combination of IP Rose Gold and IP Gold. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating is made up of thin layers of metal that are bonded together through a rig. Ion plating makes the plating more durable, more wear resistant, and also has a higher luster. With proper care, ion plated jewelry will last for decades, longer than traditional fashion jewelry. Not only is it longer lasting but also it is more sustainable than traditional plating processes because of the little to no pollutants after producing. IP Three-Tone Three-Tone Ion Plating (PVD) is a combination of three platings or tones, for example, polished stainless steel, IP Rose Gold and IP Gold. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating is made up of thin layers of metal that are bonded together through a rig. Ion plating makes the plating more durable, more wear resistant, and also has a higher luster. With proper care, ion plated jewelry will last for decades, longer than traditional fashion jewelry. Not only is it longer lasting but also it is more sustainable than traditional plating processes because of the little to no pollutants after producing. Matte Matte a non-shiny and frosted finish. Antique Antique is the plating that has been made to look aged, having a darkened or tarnished appearance. IP Black Black Ion Plating (PVD) is a black metal plating. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating is made up of thin layers of metal that are bonded together through a rig. Ion plating makes the plating more durable, more wear resistant, and also has a higher luster. With proper care, ion plated jewelry will last for decades, longer than traditional fashion jewelry. Not only is it longer lasting but also it is more sustainable than traditional plating processes because of the little to no pollutants after producing. Special Plating It’s a structure using any tools to make leaf marks on the surface of metal. This stripes have the same length and width, as imagined, advanced into the field of design and innovation. 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE We know how hard it would be to buy something valuable online.
