Sterling Silver 925 | In Harmony with Nature

At SMUK, we believe in the power of nature.
That is why we value the intrinsic qualities of our materials and have chosen Sterling Silver 925 as our primary material.
Just like natural gemstones, silver is believed to carry a gentle, nature-derived energy. Throughout history, it has been associated with intuition, emotions, and protection, quietly accompanying people in their everyday lives.
In recent years, jewelry made from stainless steel or brass with a silver-colored coating has become increasingly common. Although they may look similar, differences in the materials themselves can make a significant difference in skin compatibility and wearing comfort.
At SMUK, we carefully select our materials with honesty and integrity, down to the details you cannot see, to create jewelry that feels comfortable and can be cherished for years to come.

"Why Sterling Silver 925: Jewelry in Harmony with Nature"

SMUK uses four types of plating finishes, selected according to the materials and intended use of each piece of jewelry.

• Rhodium Plating
  A finish made with a rare precious metal from the platinum group. It offers excellent resistance to tarnishing and scratches, with a clear, bright silver tone. Suitable for those with sensitive skin.
• 18K Gold Plating
  A finish made by coating sterling silver with 75% pure gold. It creates a rich, warm gold tone.
• 14K White Gold Plating
  A white gold finish with 58.3% pure gold content. Its soft, elegant white tone pairs beautifully with pearls and delicate designs.
• Gold Vermeil
  A finish featuring a thick gold layer of at least 2.5 microns over a Sterling Silver 925 base. It offers greater durability than standard plating, allowing its brilliance to last longer.
