About Our Metal Types

Lorina Jewels creates every piece handmade and upon custom order, using high-quality materials chosen for their beauty, durability, and individuality.

We work with three types of precious metals - each with its own character, price point, and charm.

1. Gold-Plated over Sterling Silver

• Made from solid 925 sterling silver, coated with a thick layer of 18K gold plating.
• Gives a luxurious golden look at an accessible price.
• Perfect for trend-driven or occasional wear.
• Needs gentle care — avoid water, perfume, and sweat to preserve color.
• Over time, plating may fade softly, giving a vintage patina (can be re-plated anytime).

2. 10K Solid Gold

• Contains 41.7% pure gold, alloyed for extra strength and durability.
• Light, soft golden tone - perfect for effortless, everyday wear.
• Strong and less prone to scratches or bending.

3. 18K Solid Gold

• Made with 75% pure gold - deep, rich, and luminous.
