Sterling Silver 925 ｜ In Harmony with Nature

At SMUK, we believe in the power of nature.
That is why we care about the intrinsic value of the materials themselves, choosing sterling silver 925 as our main material.
Like natural gemstones, silver holds a gentle, nature-born energy. Since ancient times, it has been cherished as a symbol of intuition, emotion, and protection, quietly accompanying people in daily life.
In recent years, more accessories are simply stainless steel or brass with a silver-colored coating. They may look alike, but when the material itself is different, there is a real difference in how gentle it feels on the skin and how comfortable it is to wear.
By choosing with sincerity, down to the parts that no one sees, SMUK creates jewelry that feels good and can be loved for years to come.

SMUK jewelry features four types of plating finishes, chosen according to the material and intended use.

• Rhodium Plating
  A finish using a rare platinum-group metal. Highly resistant to tarnish and scratches, with a clear, luminous silver color. Suitable even for those with sensitive skin.
• 18K Gold Plating
  75% pure gold plated over sterling silver, creating a warm, deep golden color.
• 14K White Gold Plating
  A white gold finish of 58.3% purity. Its soft white tone pairs beautifully with pearls and delicate designs.
• Gold Vermeil
  A gold layer of at least 2.5 microns applied over a sterling silver 925 base. More durable than standard plating, keeping its shine for longer.
