Solid Gold (14 + 18K)
What it is: solid genuine gold offers the perfect balance of richness, strength, and lasting beauty for everyday luxury. While 14K gold provides enhanced durability and wearability, 18K gold features a higher gold content with a deeper, more luminous finish for a truly refined look.
Why we love it:
We love solid gold for its timeless beauty, durability, and the way it elevates everyday pieces into lasting heirlooms. Beyond its elegance, gold holds intrinsic value as a precious metal—making every JOET piece not only something to wear and cherish, but also a meaningful investment over time.
Gold Vermeil
What it is:
Gold vermeil is a high-quality plating process where a thick layer (2.5 microns) of 18k gold is electroplated onto sterling silver. This creates a luxurious and long-lasting finish that closely resembles solid gold.
Why we love it:
Gold vermeil offers the elegance and brilliance of gold at a more accessible price point. It's also hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Sterling Silver 925
What it is: Sterling silver (s925) is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. This combination enhances the strength and
durability of the silver.
Why we love it: Sterling silver is a classic and timeless choice for jewelry. It's known for its lustrous shine and versatility, making it perfect for everyday wear. It is top quality choice for jewelry due to its durability, practicality and tarnish resistance.
Stainless Steel
What it is: Stainless steel is an incredibly strong and durable metal alloy, known for its resistance to corrosion and tarnish.
Why we love it: Stainless steel is a popular choice for modern and contemporary jewelry. It can be plated in 14K gold, 18K gold, and silver for a timeless finish. It is hypoallergenic, lightweight, and requires minimal maintenance. We employ Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) plating, a cutting-edge technique that creates a remarkably durable and vibrant gold layer. PVD plating is significantly more resistant to wear and tear than traditional plating methods, ensuring your jewelry retains its golden luster for an extended period.

Man-made gemstones can be cut into various shapes. Emeralds and sapphires are popular examples. Lab-created stones are more durable and share chemical and visual properties with their natural counterparts, exceeding the quality of cubic zirconia (CZ).
About Gemstones
Mohs Hardness Scale
The Mohs Scale is a standard measure used to rank a gemstone’s resistance to scratching on a scale from 1 to 10. Higher numbers indicate harder stones that are more resistant to scratches and everyday wear, while lower numbers represent softer stones that require more care—making this scale an important guide when selecting durable, long-lasting jewelry.
Cubic Zirconia Scale
Cubic zirconia is graded based on quality, using these indicators: 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A, and AB (1A). The gemstone is also valued based on Mohs hardness, as the grade level ranks between 8 – 8.5 scale. The higher the hardness, the more durable and long-lasting the gemstone. 5A (AAAAA) is the highest quality. It is very clear and hard with a Moh's score of 8.5.
