Pearls
We use the highest quality of pearls in all our jewelry; freshwater and shell pearls. Shell pearls are made from the inner lining of oysters i.e. mother of pearl. This substance is ground down to a powder and coated on for a beautiful, lustrous finish that you will find across our earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings collections. Similarly, freshwater pearls are real pearls that are harvested in lakes and are used in our most popular styles like our Freshwater Pearl Braclet, Freshwater Pearl Necklace and more.

Sterling Silver
Sterling Silver, also known as s925, is a precious metal made with 92.5% silver and blended with other metals to make it stronger. Like all our jewelry, our sterling silver jewelry is nickel, lead, and cadmium free making it suitable for anyone with sensitive skin. Explore to see how this precious metal works in harmony with every BijouFairy design; our sterling silver jewelry is stylish and safe for sensitive skin.

18K Gold Vermeil
The base metal is sterling silver, which is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals. This combination provides strength and durability to the piece. The gold layer in 18K Gold Vermeil jewelry is notably thicker than standard gold-plated jewelry, which typically has a thinner layer of gold. The gold used in vermeil is of high quality, with a purity of 75% (18 karats), giving the jewelry a rich and genuine gold appearance. The thicker gold layer contributes to the durability and longevity of 18K Gold Vermeil jewelry, making it more resistant to tarnishing and wear compared to regular gold-plated items. The result is a piece of jewelry that exhibits the luxurious look of solid gold but at a more affordable price point.

It's essential to care for 18K Gold Vermeil jewelry by avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals, moisture, and extreme temperatures to maintain its beauty over time.(read more in our jewelry maitenance guide)

Gemstones
The gemstones we use including amazonite, opal, lapis lazuli, agate, obsidian, malachite, etc. Most of them are real mineral stones. These gemstones, each with its unique beauty, provide a wide spectrum of options for creating stunning and meaningful pieces.

Cubic Zirconia
Cubic zirconia, also known as CZ, is a material similar to a diamond in its appearance, brilliance and crystal clarity, but it is a synthesised (i.e. man-made) crystalline material that is clear, hard, and flawless.

Just like real diamonds, Cubic Zirconia is also measured by the 4 Cs—Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat. All our jewelry has the highest grade (AAAAA) cubic zirconia. This means these stones are crafted and polished to perfection making them shine just like real diamonds, with no polish marks or grain lines.

Opals
Opals add the perfect touch of color to our 14K gold plated jewelry. Opals used in BijouFairy jewelry are synthetically made in laboratories and contain 80% silica, making it a high-quality, long lasting and a great addition to all all-gold jewelry stack.

Synthetic agate
Synthetic agate is a man-made material designed to emulate the beauty and characteristics of natural agate. Composed of carefully selected high-quality components, our synthetic agate captures the elegance of the natural gemstone. Known for its durability and captivating appearance, our jewelry crafted with synthetic agate offers a sophisticated and ethically sourced alternative to traditional gemstones.

Tiger's eye stone
