What materials are Rivelle Jewelry pieces crafted from?
At Rivelle Jewelry, we pride ourselves on using only the finest materials. Our collections are crafted with premium 925 sterling silver and adorned with elegant accents, including semi-precious stones like onyx and agate, lustrous freshwater pearls, and dazzling cubic zirconia. Each piece is designed to embody timeless beauty and exceptional quality.
What distinguishes gold plated from gold vermeil in your designs?
Rivelle Jewelry uses 18k gold vermeil for our gold-finished pieces—a mark of luxury and durability.
Gold Plated: A delicate layer of gold bonded over a base metal (ours uses sterling silver as the base).
Gold Vermeil (pronounced ver-may): Features a thicker, more luxurious 18k gold layer (minimum 2.5 microns) over sterling silver. This premium finish enhances longevity and resists wear, making it ideal for cherished everyday pieces.
Is there a visible color difference between gold plated and gold vermeil jewelry?
While both finishes share a radiant gold hue, our gold vermeil pieces often showcase a deeper, warmer tone due to the thicker 18k gold layer and the sterling silver base. This subtle richness ensures your Rivelle jewelry stands out with a luminous, high-end finish.
Can I wear Rivelle Jewelry in water?
Our sterling silver jewelry can withstand occasional water exposure, but we recommend removing pieces before swimming, showering, or prolonged water contact. Chlorine, saltwater, and moisture may accelerate tarnishing over time. For frequent water wear, consider our gold vermeil collection, which offers enhanced durability.
Will Rivelle Jewelry tarnish?
Sterling silver naturally tarnishes when exposed to air and moisture, but with proper care, your Rivelle pieces will retain their brilliance for years. Store them in our included anti-tarnish pouches, avoid contact with harsh chemicals, and gently clean with a polishing cloth. For intensive care, professional cleaning is recommended.
Is Rivelle Jewelry hypoallergenic?
Absolutely. We craft our jewelry withnickel-free sterling silver and hypoallergenic materials, making it safe for sensitive skin. Unlike brands that use nickel for durability, Rivelle prioritizes your comfort and style without compromise.
Long-Lasting Wear
Through vertical integration with ethical mines and patented vermeil layering, we deliver 18K gold-plated pieces starting at $60. Our 2.5-micron gold coating (industry standard: 1.5μm) ensures decade-long wear while keeping 63% cost savings versus traditional luxury brands.
Wear Your Journey
While others commemorate love stories, we celebrate YOUR evolution. The #MyRivelleMoment campaign revealed 52% of customers purchase to mark promotions, solo travels, or personal breakthroughs. Our Fluvielle necklace with liquid metal casting literally grows with you – 89% wearers add engraved coordinates over time.
Environmentally friendly
Our compostable packaging breaks down in the soil, nourishing it instead of going into landfill. The seed paper tags inside bloom into wildflowers—the customer planted a 1,268-square-foot garden. Even the “Luxury Feel” ribbon is made from 78% recycled ocean plastic.
High-Quality Design
Our gemstones breathe with the Earth. Every lapis lazuli and malachite is ethically sourced using cyanide-free electroplating, preserving both mineral purity and aquatic ecosystems. Unlike mass-produced jewelry, each piece is hand-finished by Paris-trained artisans in our Brooklyn and Shanghai studio, where centuries-old goldsmith techniques meet radical transparency.
