Materials & CARE for JEWELLERY
L' Dezen jewelry epitomizes refined simplicity, meticulously crafted from 18K gold and adorned with conflict-free natural diamonds and distinctive colored gemstones. Specific gemstone details are typically provided in the product description on the respective product page.
Additionally, our Tichi collection, known as 'demi-fine' or '18K gold plated,' showcases items carefully plated with three microns of 18K gold on silver, accompanied by diamonds.
Diamonds:
L' Dezen Jewelry showcases the exquisite beauty of natural diamonds, marvels of nature themselves. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted using natural, colorless, brilliant-cut diamonds. Our white diamonds are carefully graded to ensure superior clarity, typically graded SI (‘eye-clean’) or higher, and colorless (F-G).
Diamond Slices:
Each diamond slice tells a unique tale, offering thinly sliced sections of large rough diamonds that reveal captivating patterns while preserving the stone's original contour. Crafting jewelry with diamond slices demands exceptional craftsmanship. We also feature an array of colored diamond slices, including blue, yellow, and brown varieties.
Rose Cuts:
Rose Cut Diamonds present a departure from the traditional 'Brilliant Cut' diamonds of modern times. Resembling the shape of a rosebud, these diamonds feature a flat bottom, maximizing the stone's brilliance with a larger surface area. Additionally, opting for a rose cut offers the advantage of appearing larger in size due to its flattened bottom, surpassing its actual carat weight.
Gemstones:
At L' Dezen, we also embrace the allure of natural gemstones, including rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. Each gemstone boasts its own unique charm and character, adding a captivating touch to our jewelry pieces. We source our gemstones with care, ensuring their natural beauty shines through in every creation.
Gold:
L' Dezen jewelry predominantly features 18K gold, available in white, yellow, and rose hues. Our 18K white gold pieces are coated with a layer of white rhodium finish. This plating enhances the metal's bright white appearance, though it may be susceptible to discoloration when exposed to certain chemicals.
Black Rhodium:
Rhodium, a rare and durable type of platinum, is renowned for its hardness and corrosion resistance. At L' Dezen, we utilize rhodium primarily as a plating rather than a solid metal, ensuring our gold jewelry maintains its brilliance and shine. Black rhodium, one of several rhodium color variations, is achieved by binding ink to the rhodium surface. While natural rhodium appears silver-white, black rhodium provides a striking contrast, lending a unique aesthetic to our designs.
Gold Vermeil:
Our Gold Vermeil pieces undergo a meticulous plating process where they are coated three times (3 microns) with 18-Karat gold. This extensive plating ensures a durable and long-lasting finish, making the jewelry resistant to tarnishing while embodying the luxurious appeal of gold.
Maintaining the beauty of your diamond jewelry is simple with a regular cleaning routine. Begin by soaking your pieces in a mild degreasing solution, such as water with a few drops of gentle dish soap, once or twice a week. After soaking, gently scrub away any remaining dirt with a soft, clean toothbrush, paying special attention to hard-to-reach areas like the back of the diamond.
Exercise caution when handling sliced diamond pieces, as they are delicate like regular diamonds. Clean them gently using a soft, clean cloth to preserve their beauty.
To ensure the longevity of your jewelry, avoid wearing it while showering, bathing, or engaging in heavy exercise, especially in chlorinated swimming pools or seawater. Additionally, refrain from using tissue paper or paper towels to clean metal surfaces, as they can cause scratching.
Protect your jewelry from extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight, as these factors can affect its appearance over time. Avoid spraying perfume, applying creams, or exposing your jewelry to any liquids directly.
For gold vermeil jewelry, buff gently with a soft, dry 100% cotton cloth or a microfiber cloth to maintain its shine. Never use chemical cleaners on gold vermeil jewelry, as they can strip away the gold finish and compromise its quality.
By following these simple care tips, you can ensure that your jewelry remains beautiful and pristine for years to come.
Proper storage is key to preserving the beauty and quality of your jewelry. We highly recommend utilizing the pouch provided in the packaging or another lined box or soft pouch for storage. If you reside in a humid climate, consider adding a small packet of desiccant crystals to the packaging to prevent moisture buildup.
For optimal protection, store your jewelry pieces separately to prevent them from rubbing against each other. Additionally, keep your chains fastened to avoid tangling and potential damage.
When traveling, take precautions to safeguard your jewelry from scratches and impact damage. Pad each piece individually in a separate box or case to ensure their safety during transit.
By following these care guidelines, you can maintain the pristine condition of your jewelry and enjoy its beauty for years to come.
