Enduring Elements: Get to Know Our Materials

Enduring Elements: Get to Know Our Materials

At Points Jewelry, we believe in crafting pieces that are as enduring as the stories they carry. That’s why we meticulously choose materials that balance beauty, quality, and longevity. Here’s a closer look at what goes into our jewelry and how you can care for these timeless treasures.

14K Gold Filled: Durable and Radiant

Gold-filled jewelry offers the luxurious look and feel of solid gold at a more accessible price. Composed of a thick layer of 14K gold mechanically bonded to a base metal core (typically brass), gold-filled pieces are designed to last for years when properly cared for. Unlike gold plating, the gold layer in gold-filled jewelry is significantly thicker, ensuring it won't wear away easily.

Benefits of 14K Gold Filled:

  • Hypoallergenic: Ideal for sensitive skin.

  • Tarnish-Resistant: Maintains its shine with minimal upkeep.

  • Durable: Perfect for everyday wear without losing its luster.

Sterling Silver: Classic and Versatile

Sterling silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper) to enhance its strength. Its brilliant shine and versatility make it a timeless choice for minimal and statement designs alike.

Benefits of Sterling Silver:

  • Timeless Elegance: Complements any style, from casual to formal.

  • Affordable Luxury: Offers high-end quality at an accessible price.

  • Recyclable: A sustainable option for eco-conscious customers.


High-Quality Semi-Precious Gemstones

Our designs feature thoughtfully sourced semi-precious gemstones that add depth and character to each piece. From the deep blue of lapis to the rich green of malachite, every stone is chosen for its beauty and symbolic meaning. Here are some highlights:

  • Lapis Lazuli: Known for its celestial blue hues and connection to wisdom and truth.

  • Malachite: A vibrant green stone symbolizing transformation and protection.

  • Garnet: Deep red tones that evoke passion and energy.

  • Freshwater Pearl: Classic elegance with a natural luster, embodying purity and balance.

  • Black Spinel: Striking and mysterious, representing resilience and empowerment.


Caring for Your Jewelry

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your jewelry, follow these simple care tips:

Gold Filled and Sterling Silver:

  • Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.

  • Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently clean your pieces after wearing.

  • Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals like perfume, chlorine, and cleaning products.

Gemstones:

  • Wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and oils.

  • Do not submerge in water for long periods of time (avoid swimming and showering in your gemstone pieces.)

  • Keep away from abrasive surfaces to avoid scratching.

When you choose Points Jewelry, you’re investing in pieces made to accompany you through life’s moments. With proper care, your jewelry will remain a cherished part of your story for years to come.
