Jewelry Materials Explained

Dear,
When you choose a piece of jewelry, you’re not just choosing something that looks beautiful. You’re choosing something that touches your skin, moves with you throughout the day, and becomes part of your routine.
That’s why today I want to talk about something you don’t always see… but that makes all the difference: material composition.
At Las Queridas, we work with stainless steel, 925 sterling silver, and rhodium, all plated in gold or silver. And that’s not by accident.
Stainless Steel: Your Everyday Ally
If you’re someone who doesn’t take off her jewelry for everything, stainless steel is for you.
It’s resistant, durable, and designed to keep up with you without complications. It doesn’t easily tarnish and maintains its appearance longer, even with frequent wear.
It’s perfect for:
-
Busy women
-
Everyday use
-
Pieces you want to wear again and again
It’s practical, yet still elegant. And we love that combination.
925 Sterling Silver: A Classic That Never Fails
925 sterling silver is timeless. It has that clean, sophisticated shine that pairs beautifully with everything.
It’s an excellent choice if you’re looking for delicate, classic, and versatile pieces. With proper care, it can stay with you for many years.
It’s ideal for:
-
Polished looks
-
Subtle layering
-
Women who love timeless style
Rhodium: Shine That Lasts
Rhodium is used to create a brighter, more resistant finish.
It adds a luminous tone and helps protect the piece, allowing it to maintain its appearance longer.
It’s that invisible detail that elevates the final result.
What Does Gold or Silver Plated Mean?
Plating is the finish that gives each piece the golden or silver tone we love.
The key isn’t just that it looks beautiful it’s that the base material is high quality. Because when the foundation is strong, the result feels different.
More durable. More reliable. More intentional.
Choosing Better Is Part of Your Style
Not all jewelry is the same.
And when you understand what you’re wearing, you shop with more intention. You know which pieces are made for everyday wear, which elevate your look, and which will stay with you for years.
For us, style isn’t just about trends. It’s about choosing pieces that work with you, keep up with your rhythm, and feel as good as they look.
Because femininity is also about choosing quality.
With love,
Las Queridas
