MATERIALS

At Bella Luisa, we are dedicated to crafting jewelry from high-quality materials sourced from responsible suppliers. We believe in the importance of balancing aesthetics with ethics, creating pieces that not only elevate your style but also reflect our commitment to environmental and social standards. Each item is crafted with care, capturing both beauty and durability.

Gold Plated on Stainless Steel

Our gold-plated designs are crafted with stainless steel at their core, a robust and resilient material that serves as an ideal base. Stainless steel is naturally resistant to tarnishing and corrosion, making it perfect for daily wear. Each gold-plated piece has a single layer of gold, applied with precision to create a radiant finish. While gold-plated jewelry is designed to be beautiful, over time, it may show signs of wear with everyday use. To maintain the brilliance of these pieces, follow our care guide for best practices.

Gold Vermeil

Gold vermeil is a premium type of gold plating known for its exceptional quality and longevity. Our vermeil pieces feature a thick 2.5-micron layer of 18K gold layered over sterling silver, a design that goes beyond typical gold plating. This layer depth provides a luxurious finish that lasts significantly longer than standard gold plating, resisting wear and preserving its golden luster over time. With proper care, gold vermeil jewelry can maintain its rich color and shine for years, making it an ideal choice for those seeking timeless, high-quality jewelry.

Why Gold Vermeil Stands Out Unlike standard gold-plated jewelry, which typically has a single, thinner layer of gold, Bella Luisa’s gold vermeil is carefully crafted with a 2.5-micron layer of 18K gold. This thicker layer over sterling silver results in a more resilient finish that combines lasting beauty with durability, perfect for everyday elegance.

Freshwater Pearls

Our freshwater pearls are delicately cultured and selected to ensure their unique beauty. Unlike gemstones formed in the earth, pearls are organic gems, created within freshwater mussels. Each pearl is unique, with slight variations in shape and luster that add to their natural appeal. They are cherished for their soft, iridescent glow and are a timeless choice for jewelry that radiates sophistication.

Pearl Characteristics Freshwater pearls come in a range of subtle shapes and sizes, often with a gentle luster that enhances their charm. These pearls are valued for their natural, understated elegance, and with careful handling, they can maintain their beauty for years to come.

At Bella Luisa, we carefully select each material with a commitment to quality and longevity. Our jewelry is crafted to celebrate both beauty and conscious choice, creating pieces that are as meaningful as they are stylish.
