Why We Use Certain Metals and Stones for Certain Lines

At EleshoJewelry we have a vast selection for you to choose from. From the bold and intricately designed statement pieces we offer in our Owambe line, to the timeless and elegant engagement rings in our Weddings line. We take the utmost care to provide you with pieces that you will cherish, using high quality metals (ranging from 18kt solid gold to Sterling Silver) as well as a vast array of gemstones, semi precious stones and crystals.  Here’s why we offer certain options of metals and stones when designing your pieces.

The Owambe Line

As you can see from the Owambe Line gallery, most of the jewelry we offer in this line is bold and requires a lot of material to execute. So, though we stared out making these pieces using solid gold, due to the cost implications of bringing these pieces to life, we discovered that a lot of these designs can be achieved using vermeil (a gold plated sterling silver, and dependable substitute for solid gold), while still providing 18k solid gold and 14kt gold filled as options for those who might prefer them. We also offer some of these pieces in a brilliant sterling silver.

We use crystals and semi precious stones in most of our pieces as well as corals and/or pearls for some specific designs.

The Personalized Jewelry Line

Unlike the vermeil we recommend for the Owambe pieces (which are only worn on special occasions) we only offer your Personalized Jewelry pieces in 18k solid gold and 14k gold filled. These pieces are delicate and made to commemorate something dear to you, and like any piece of jewelry that holds immense sentimental value they will be worn often and must be able to withstand constant handling.18k solid gold and 14k gold filled are the most suitable options to ensure that you can cherish these pieces for a long time.

When designing personalized jewelry pieces with stones, we recommend you go for either diamonds or moissanite.

The Weddings Line

At Eleshojewelry we believe that wedding rings are one of the most precious items shared between loved ones, nothing deserves more care and reverence than your wedding bands and engagement rings. We strive to handle the symbol of your love with the care and gravity it deserves, which is why we only make your wedding bands and engagement rings using high quality 18k solid gold. For the stones that adorn your engagement rings we offer a dazzling array of diamonds, moissanite and various precious stones.
