Palmonas uses high-quality, sustainable metals like sterling silver and surgical-grade stainless steel for their jewellery, which is then often coated with a thick layer of 18k gold to create gold vermeil or platinum-like rhodium for shine. This demi-fine approach offers the look and feel of luxury jewellery at a more affordable price, creating pieces that are durable, long-lasting, hypoallergenic, and suitable for everyday wear.
High-Quality Materials
-
Sterling Silver:
A base metal that is 92.5% pure silver, known for its durability and flexibility, with Palmonas using recycled silver where possible.
-
Surgical Grade Stainless Steel:
A strong, rigid base metal that is suitable for everyday wear and is resistant to water and tarnish.
-
Gold Vermeil:
High-quality gold-plated jewellery where a thick, 18k gold layer is applied over a sterling silver base, providing a long-lasting shine and color that outlasts standard gold-plated pieces.
- Rhodium:
Used to coat sterling silver, this rare precious metal adds a superior luster and shine to the jewellery.
- 5A Cubic Zirconia:
High-quality, lab-grown diamonds or stones are used to add brilliance and sparkle to designs.
Durability and Longevity
-
Thick Plating:
Palmonas uses a significantly thicker gold plating (2.5 microns) compared to regular gold-plated jewelry (0.5 microns), which makes the pieces more resistant to tarnish and wear.
-
Anti-Tarnish Finishes:
The jewelry pieces are treated with anti-tarnish finishes to help maintain their original luster for a long time.
-
Hypoallergenic Materials:
The use of sterling silver and stainless steel makes the jewelry skin-safe and hypoallergenic, preventing irritation.
Affordable Luxury
- Demi-Fine Approach: Palmonas’ mission is to make luxury accessible by creating high-quality, demi-fine jewelry that offers the style and feel of premium pieces but at a fraction of the price.
