METAL GUIDE
Noble metals are the essence of Luxenter, the origin of the jewelry craft and our hallmark.
"Worked with techniques that combine avant-garde and tradition, with them we create pieces with personality that reflect the latest trends."
STERLING SILVER
Silver is one of the most valued and versatile metals in the world of jewelry, appreciated for its elegant white shine that has captivated for centuries.
At Luxenter, we use 100% recycled silver, a responsible choice that minimizes environmental impact without compromising its exceptional quality.
This noble metal stands out for its beauty, durability, and its ability to adapt to unique and modern designs.
All Luxenter silver jewelry comes with the guarantee contrast from the Official Contrast Laboratory, which consists of a mark that certifies compliance with the official law on the piece. In this case, it is represented by a 925.
DURABILITY
Silver is a durable and suitable metal for daily use, although its relatively soft nature makes it more prone to scratches and dents compared to other precious metals like gold. To increase its durability, it is combined with metals like copper, forming sterling silver, a more robust alloy perfect for everyday jewelry.
STERLING SILVER
Sterling silver 925, composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, such as copper, offers an ideal combination of beauty and strength. This alloy enhances the durability of silver, making it a perfect choice for jewelry creation. Recognized worldwide, sterling silver has established itself as the quality standard in jewelry.
HYPOALLERGENIC
Silver is known for being hypoallergenic and well tolerated by most people, making it an ideal option for those with sensitivity to other metals, such as nickel. Its gentle nature on the skin makes it especially suitable for jewelry that is in direct contact with the body, such as earrings or rings. Additionally, its purity and quality position it as a reliable and safe material for all types of users.
STERLING GOLD
Our solid 18k gold is certified as 100% recycled, combining beauty, quality, and sustainability.
With its distinctive yellow tone, this solid gold is highly durable and resistant, ideal for creating jewelry that lasts over time.
By using recycled gold, we eliminate the need for mining, reducing the social and ethical risks associated with this practice.
"In addition, we reduce the use of new raw materials, minimizing our environmental impact."
Recognized as one of the most valuable and cherished precious metals, gold remains a symbol of elegance and tradition in jewelry.
CARATAGE
The carat weight is the measure used to determine the purity and amount of gold in a piece of jewelry. Since pure gold at 100% (24 carats) is too soft for everyday use, it is mixed with other metals, such as copper, silver, or palladium, to form more durable alloys.
At Luxenter, we work with 18-carat gold, composed of 75% pure gold.
DURABILITY
18-karat gold, with its ideal balance between purity and durability, is especially suitable for daily wear. Thanks to these characteristics, gold jewelry not only stands out for its beauty but also serves as a long-term investment. With proper care, these pieces maintain their shine and quality, becoming treasures that endure over time.
COLOR AND FINISHES
Gold comes in different colors, in addition to the classic yellow. White gold is obtained by mixing gold with white metals such as palladium or silver, while rose gold is achieved with an alloy of gold and copper. These different colors of gold offer versatile options for personal tastes and jewelry styles.
STEEL
Steel has become a very popular material in jewelry making due to its combination of unique characteristics.
Its high resistance makes it exceptionally durable, able to withstand daily wear without losing its shape or appeal.
Moreover, steel is resistant to corrosion and stains, making it an ideal choice for those looking for low-maintenance parts that retain their original appearance over time.
It is a sustainable and affordable material, which allows for the creation of accessible and environmentally responsible jewelry, without sacrificing style or quality.
Its versatility allows for the manufacturing of everything from minimalist pieces to bold and eye-catching designs, making it perfect for both men and women.
STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron with chromium and other elements that give it anticorrosive properties. It is highly resistant to rust, discoloration, and oxidation, making it an excellent choice for durable and low-maintenance jewelry.
DURABILITY
Steel is an extremely strong and durable material. It is less prone to deformation, scratches, or damage compared to other metals used in jewelry. This makes steel jewelry ideal for everyday use and helps it maintain its original appearance for a long time.
HYPOALLERGENIC
Stainless steel is hypoallergenic, which means it is less likely to cause allergic reactions or irritation in sensitive skin. It is an excellent choice for people with sensitive skin or allergies to other metals.
