We focus on materials and finishes that balance beauty, comfort, and accessible pricing. For the most accurate information, please refer to each product description, as materials may vary by design.
18K Gold Plated Jewelry
Many of our gold plated jewelry styles are made with a base of premium brass or 925 sterling silver, depending on the design. The surface is finished with 18K gold plating to create a warm, polished shine that works beautifully for everyday styling. Gold plated jewelry should be treated with gentle care. To help preserve the finish, avoid direct contact with water, perfume, lotion, sweat, and harsh chemicals. After wearing, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth and store it in a dry place.
925 Sterling Silver
925 sterling silver contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper, which helps improve durability while keeping the natural beauty of silver. Sterling silver is loved for its soft brightness, timeless look, and versatility. It may naturally darken over time when exposed to air, moisture, or certain products. This is normal and can often be improved with gentle polishing and proper storage.
Natural Gemstones & Pearls
Natural gemstones and pearls bring a sense of individuality to jewelry. At Lumina Jewelry, our gemstone pieces may include natural pearls, crystals, garnet, and other selected stones, each chosen for its unique color, texture, and quiet beauty. No two natural stones are exactly the same. Slight variations in shape, shade, pattern, or surface detail are part of what makes gemstone jewelry feel personal and distinctive. These natural details give each piece its own character. To care for gemstone and pearl jewelry, avoid direct contact with water, perfume, lotion, sweat, and harsh chemicals. Store each piece separately in a dry place and gently wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing.
How to Care for Your Jewelry Materials
To help your jewelry stay beautiful for longer, we recommend keeping each piece away from water, perfume, lotion, sweat, and cleaning products. Store your jewelry separately in a pouch, box, or sealed bag to help prevent scratches and tangling.
