MATERIALS
KARATHEA creates jewelry using thoughtfully selected materials, including:
- 925 sterling silver
- Gold vermeil finishes
- Pearls
- Moissanite
- Other carefully selected details depending on the design
Each material is chosen for its character, appearance, and role within the overall design.
925 sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver combined with other metals to create a durable jewelry material.
It is valued for its bright surface, versatility, and ability to complement different jewelry designs.
Gold vermeil is a gold finish applied over a sterling silver base.
It combines the warmth of gold with the foundation of sterling silver, creating a balance between material quality, design, and everyday wear.
JEWELRY CARE
To help preserve the appearance and finish of your jewelry:
- Store pieces in a dry place
- Keep jewelry away from harsh chemicals and abrasive materials
- Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or activities involving prolonged exposure to moisture
For detailed care instructions, visit our Jewelry Care page.
KARATHEA uses both freshwater pearls and shell pearls across selected designs.
Freshwater pearls are valued for their natural variations in shape, surface, and tone, while shell pearls offer a more consistent appearance with a smooth, polished finish.
Because pearls are natural materials, each piece may have subtle variations that make every design unique.
We recommend removing jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or spending extended periods in water.
Moisture, chemicals, and environmental exposure may affect certain materials and finishes over time.
