Material guide

MATERIAL GUIDE — WHAT OUR JEWELLERY IS MADE OF

We believe in being completely open about what you are actually buying. Here is everything you need to know about the materials in Chiaro jewellery.

925 sterling silver
The core material of all our jewellery is genuine 925 sterling silver — 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% copper for strength and durability.

Gold plating
Our gold and rose gold variants have a gold plating applied by electroplating. This gives the piece its colour and shine. As with all jewellery plating, it is not indestructible — it can gradually fade with daily wear and contact with water, perfume and creams.

Care tips for making the plating last as long as possible:

• Take the jewellery off before showering, bathing and exercising
• Avoid contact with perfume, creams and cleaning products
• Store dry and separately from other jewellery
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth when needed

Moissanite
The stone in our jewellery is moissanite — a lab-grown gemstone with a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale (second only to diamond) and high brilliance. Moissanite is not a diamond, but has its own strong sparkle and is far more accessible in price.

Our stones have colour grade D (the highest grade), 0.41 carat, 5 mm diameter.

Why we are open about this
We want you to know exactly what you are getting — not just what looks nice in a photo. If you have questions about a specific product, feel free to ask us at kontakt@chiaro.no.
