As passionate jewellery designers running a small business, we often get questions about the materials used in our creations. Today, we’re excited to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the elements that make SUUS jewellery special.
Sterling Silver 925 Hallmark: Unveiling the Elegance
At the heart of many SUUS designs lies the exquisite Sterling Silver 925 hallmark. But what exactly does this mean? Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. The 925 hallmark is your assurance of quality and authenticity.

Benefits of Sterling Silver 925:
- Durability: Adding other metals enhances the strength of the silver, making it more resilient for everyday wear.
- Timeless Beauty: Sterling silver boasts a classic, lustrous appearance that stands the test of time.
- Hypoallergenic: Perfect for those with sensitive skin, sterling silver is less likely to irritate.
18ct Gold Vermeil: A Touch of Luxury
When elevating the elegance of SUUS jewellery, 18ct Gold Vermeil takes centre stage. This process involves a thick layer of 18-carat gold bonded onto sterling silver, resulting in a luxurious finish that exudes opulence.
Benefits of 18ct Gold Vermeil:
- Affordable Luxury: Get the look and feel of solid gold without the hefty price tag.
- Long-Lasting Shine: The thick gold layer ensures your jewellery retains its radiant lustre over time.
- Versatility: The warm glow of gold complements a wide range of styles and outfits.
Anti-Tarnish Coating: Preserving Beauty Beyond Time
We apply a protective anti-tarnish coating to ensure your SUUS jewellery remains as stunning as the day you received it. Tarnishing occurs when metals react with elements in the air, but our coating acts as a shield, keeping your pieces looking flawless.
Benefits of Anti-Tarnish Coating:
- Extended Longevity: Shielding against tarnish helps your jewellery maintain its brilliance for extended periods.
- Minimal Maintenance: Enjoy the beauty of your pieces with less effort, as the coating reduces the need for frequent cleaning.
- Everyday Wear: With anti-tarnish protection, you can confidently incorporate your SUUS jewellery into your daily wardrobe.
At SUUS, crafting beautiful and enduring pieces is not just a business; it’s a passion. Every design is infused with a commitment to quality, ensuring each piece becomes a cherished part of your personal style journey.
So, the next time you adorn yourself with SUUS jewellery, know that you’re not just wearing accessories — you’re embracing a story of craftsmanship, quality, and timeless elegance.
