STONES & METALS

At Agara, we select only the finest materials to create jewelry that is as enduring as it is beautiful. Here’s a look at the stones and metals that make up our distinctive pieces.

 

STONES

MOISSANITE

Known for its exceptional brilliance and fire, moissanite is a remarkable lab-grown gemstone that closely resembles diamonds. With a hardness that rivals that of diamonds, moissanite is both resilient and dazzling, embodying the beauty and strength Agara values. Choosing moissanite supports sustainable practices while enjoying a gemstone that truly shines.

CULTURED GEMSTONES

Cultured gemstones are produced in a controlled environment that mimics natural gemstone formation. These include cultured pearls and other lab-created stones that match the quality and beauty of natural gemstones. Cultured gemstones offer accessibility without compromising elegance or quality, aligning with Agara’s mission of bringing beautifully crafted jewelry within reach.

STERLING SILVER

Sterling silver, made from 92.5% pure silver alloyed with small amounts of other metals, is known for its timeless appeal and durability. Its elegant luster serves as the foundation for many Agara pieces, ensuring a versatile and sophisticated finish.

RHODIUM PLATING

Rhodium plating is a protective layer applied to silver or gold jewelry, offering a durable, reflective finish that enhances the metal's natural beauty. This tarnish-resistant coating provides long-lasting shine, making it ideal for daily wear. Rhodium is also hypoallergenic, making it a great option for those with sensitivities to certain metals, so you can enjoy Agara jewelry comfortably and with confidence.

GOLD VERMEIL

Gold vermeil is a luxurious gold finish crated by plating a thick layer of gold over sterling silver. Known for its beauty and affordability compared to solid gold, gold vermeil gives Agara's pieces a rich, golden hue, offering the best of both worlds: elegance and accessibility.

18K GOLD

18K gold is crafted with 75% pure gold, alloyed with other metals to enhance strenth and durability. As one of the highest-quality golds used in fine jewelry, 18K gold strikes a perfect balance between purity and resilience. While 24K and 22K gold contain more pure gold, they are too soft for durable jewelry, making 18K ideal for pieces that are both luxurious and long-lasting.
