Discover the Quality Behind Our Jewelry
At ANI Jewels, we take pride in using high-quality materials to create jewelry that is not only beautiful but also durable and retains higher resale value. We combine various materials to craft unique pieces with elegance and character, all at the best price. Here’s a closer look at some of the materials we work with and what makes them special.
925 Sterling Silver – Genuine Silver with a Beautiful Shine
Our sterling silver, also known as 925 silver, is a classic in jewelry design. It contains 92.5% pure silver, giving it both durability and brilliance. Sterling silver is hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin. This timeless material holds resale value and is perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions. Its malleability allows for intricate and delicate designs. While silver does oxidize over time, with proper care and regular cleaning, you can enjoy your sterling silver jewelry for many years to come.
18K Gold Plating
Our gold jewelry is crafted from either 925 sterling silver or 100% recycled brass, coated with a thin layer of 18K gold. This gives our pieces a luxurious finish, elegant shine, and exclusive look without being overly expensive. Gold plating pairs beautifully with materials like brass and silver. While the gold used is a minimal amount overall, and currently it’s not possible to use recycled gold for plating, this is a goal we’re working toward for the future.
Brass – A Sustainable Base for Elegant Jewelry
We use 100% recycled brass in parts of our collections. Brass has a natural golden sheen resembling gold, making it a cost-effective alternative for achieving a luxurious look. It serves as a base for larger jewelry pieces, offering better price points. Brass is also versatile and easy to shape into intricate and detailed designs. Over time, it develops a natural patina, and when paired with other metals or gemstones, it offers a timeless and versatile appeal.
Cubic Zirconia
Cubic zirconia is a stunning synthetic stone that closely resembles a diamond but at a fraction of the cost. With its exceptional clarity, it adds a sparkling touch to jewelry, making it perfect for everything from rings to earrings. Cubic zirconia often enhances our designs with extra shimmer and elegance, giving each piece an air of exclusivity.
Agate
Agate is a natural gemstone known for its unique colors and patterns. Each stone has its own distinctive design, meaning no two are exactly alike. This uniqueness makes agate an ideal choice for adding a personal touch to every piece of jewelry. Available in a variety of colors, it brings both vibrancy and diversity to our collections.
Shell Pearls
Shell pearls are an elegant and classic feature in our jewelry. They offer a soft, lustrous look that never goes out of style. Made from mother-of-pearl or glass, shell pearls achieve their natural and beautiful appearance. Imitation pearls are often more uniform and round than natural pearls, allowing us to offer them at a more accessible price point. Perfect for necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, shell pearls bring a feminine and sophisticated touch to every piece.
