The jewelry is made of silver 925 and covered with a thin layer of platinum. Through this approach, the precious metal platinum, which is even more valuable than gold, can be purchased at an affordable price than if the entire piece of jewelry was made of platinum. In addition, the great properties of platinum are adopted, such as platinum does not tarnish, it is harder than gold and wears out less quickly.

Zirconia (molecular formula: ZrO2, Zirconium dioxide) is synthetic substitute for diamond . Its hardness is almost as high as the one of diamond (8.5 as opposed to 10) which makes it resistable. However, it may scratch other material easily. Zirconia can be produced in different colours and levels of transparency. It is normally cut in faces (in the same way as glass).
