The 18K Gold Standard
At Lumos Jewelry, we are deeply committed to delivering the highest quality in each of our pieces. This is why every item you find in our collections is exclusively crafted with 18K gold. This decision, though implying higher costs, springs from our conviction that only the finest materials should be used to enhance the abundant hues and quality of our gemstones.
Our firm adherence to this standard is more than just a promise of luxury – it's a testament to our brand's belief and a mark of respect for the raw, natural beauty of our gemstones.
Why 18K Gold?
Gold purity is measured in karats (K), with 24K being the purest form. Pure gold, however, is often too soft for everyday wear, so it's mixed with other metals to enhance durability. While 14K gold is commonly used in jewelry for its balance between gold content and durability, 18K gold, made up of 18 parts gold and 6 parts other metals, offers a richer hue and higher gold content without compromising too much on durability.
We have chosen 18K gold for our creations for these key reasons:
-
Rich Color and Luxurious Look: 18K gold has a deeper, warmer color than 14K gold, providing a lush setting that enhances the various hues of our carefully selected gemstones.
-
Durability and Longevity: Though slightly softer than 14K, 18K gold still offers considerable durability for everyday wear, and its greater resistance to tarnish ensures that your piece maintains its stunning luster for longer.
-
Hypoallergenic Quality: With lower alloy metal content, 18K gold is less likely to trigger any allergic reactions, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin.
Elevating Gemstone Beauty
Our commitment to using 18K gold, despite the higher cost it entails, is deeply intertwined with our passion for vibrant, high-quality gemstones. We believe the saturation of 18K gold is truly worthy of their splendor. The warmth and richness of 18K gold beautifully amplify the gemstones' brilliance, thereby creating an enchanting harmony of colors that is signature to Lumos Jewelry.
Lumos Jewelry: Our Brand, Our Belief
For us at Lumos Jewelry, the choice to use 18K gold across our products is not merely about maintaining a high standard of quality or ensuring longevity. It's about our core brand belief: to create pieces that are not just beautiful and timeless, but also respect and honor the natural beauty of our gemstones.
Despite the premium materials, we strive to keep our pricing competitive, bringing our customers the best value without compromising quality. When you choose Lumos Jewelry, you're not just choosing a piece of jewelry – you're choosing a statement of quality, a mark of luxury, and a piece crafted with utmost care, passion, and commitment to delivering the best.
