Our Materials
At Layergal, we firmly believe that creating exquisite jewelry shouldn't mean compromising our values, our communities, or our planet. Our commitment to true sustainability entails taking a transparent approach to assessing our environmental and social impacts.
- 18k Gold Plating
18k gold plating involves a thin layer of 18k gold applied to a base metal, typically medical-grade stainless steel. This process creates a stunning, high-quality finish that has the rich, luxurious appearance of solid gold.
-
Affordable Luxury: 18k gold plating provides the opulence of gold at a more affordable price point, so you can enjoy the beauty of gold without the high cost of solid gold pieces.
-
Durability: The base metal used, medical-grade stainless steel, is incredibly strong, ensuring that the 18k gold plating lasts for a long time while maintaining its shine and appearance.
-
Hypoallergenic & Skin-Safe: We use medical-grade stainless steel as the foundation for our plating, which is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin, making our jewelry comfortable to wear all day long.
-
Environmentally Conscious: By using 18k gold plating, we reduce the need for large quantities of solid gold, which has a high environmental impact during mining. This makes our pieces an eco-friendly alternative without compromising on luxury.
Our designs celebrate classic chains, chokers, and moissanite jewelry, carefully crafted with premium materials like medical-grade stainless steel and 18k gold plating. These pieces are built to last—hypoallergenic, sweat-resistant, and eco-friendly, ensuring that every woman can wear Layergal jewelry with pride and comfort.
- Moissanite
At Layergal, we use Moissanite, a gemstone celebrated for its brilliance, clarity, and exceptional value. Known for its unmatched brightness, Moissanite delivers a fiery sparkle that outshines even diamonds, offering you the luxury look at a more affordable price.
- Brightness: Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamonds, meaning it shines with more brilliance and fire, catching light from every angle.
- Clarity: With its near-perfect clarity, Moissanite is virtually free of inclusions, offering a clear, stunning appearance that’s sure to turn heads.
- Cut: Our Moissanite gems are expertly cut to maximize their sparkle and brilliance, ensuring that every piece is both elegant and captivating.
- Durability: Moissanite is nearly as hard as a diamond, ranking 9.25 on the Mohs scale. This makes it incredibly resistant to scratches, so your Layergal jewelry will stay looking beautiful and flawless for years.
- Affordability: Moissanite gives you the elegance of diamonds at a fraction of the cost, making it the perfect choice for those who want stunning, high-quality jewelry without the high price tag.
