Materials & Durability Overview
Made to last, each piece of Elladora Jewellery is made with tarnish-resistant materials. With proper care and love, all your Elladora jewels will last you for many years to come. Our pieces are designed and sourced from the best jewellery sellers in Brazil. None of our jewellery contains nickel, which makes all our pieces hypoallergenic! Say goodbye to green skins.
We have high standards when it comes to how our jewellery is made and finished. We pay attention to the small details and make sure our stones are set properly in clasps, bezel, etc, not glued in (as some cheaply manufactured pieces available in the market).
Elladora is committed to offering pieces that add value and sophistication to every woman's jewellery collection without breaking the bank. Elladora's collections include a harmony of colours and differentiated materials, so there is sure to be a piece to fit any occasion.
18k Gold Filled
Discover the excellence of our Gold Filled jewellery, which offers superior quality, wear resistance (with at least 5% of the total weight in gold), and stain resistance. Perfect for daily wear, suitable for all skin types, and hypoallergenic.
18k Gold Plated
Our gold pieces are composed of brass, copper or stainless steel base metal with at least 3-micron thick 18k gold, which is 12x thicker than industry standards.
On top of that, we use e-coating, aka electro deposition or electro-coating, which uses an electrical current to cover a metal surface with an organic lacquer, which aids in longevity and prevents our jewellery from tarnishing. Still, it also ensures our pieces are hypoallergenic and sensitive-skin friendly.
925 Sterling Silver
Our sterling silver pieces are coated in rhodium to make it whiter and brighter. As part of the platinum family, rhodium plating our silver means your jewellery is more durable, more resistant to scratching, and hypoallergenic.
Pieces manufactured with a high-quality 925 silver base metal, finished with a 1-micron layer of gold. Due to the delicacy of this layer, we suggest special care to maintain its brighter, but it also ensures our pieces are hypoallergenic and sensitive-skin friendly.
White Rhodium Plated
This rare material, more precious than gold and silver, adds a protective layer that elevates the jewellery's resilience and allure. Crafted to outshine sterling silver, white gold, and platinum, Rhodium Plated pieces boast a reflective sheen that captures up to 80% of light, ensuring your jewellery sparkles like no other.
It is not just a feast for the eyes; rhodium plated jewellery is hypoallergenic, making it the perfect choice for sensitive skin. Its unique blend of toughness and hypoallergenic properties safeguards your jewellery against wear and tear while ensuring comfort.
Fusion Stones
Through a meticulous process carried out in high-tech laboratories, multiple stones are merged under extreme heat and pressure, crafting a new composite gem that glimmers with unparalleled brilliance. This alchemy of nature and technology results in stones with unique hues and patterns, each telling its own story of creation and splendour.
Beyond their mesmerising beauty, fusion stones are a testament to Elladora's commitment to sustainability and ethical jewellery making. Offering an eco-friendly alternative to mined gemstones, these lab-created wonders provide the same dazzling aesthetic at a fraction of the environmental cost.
How to Care for Your Pieces
We want your jewellery to keep in tip-top shape for years to come!
Some factors influence the care when wearing the jewellery. Taking the utmost care when wearing your Elladora jewellery is a must, so we have some tips to help:
- Last On, First Off: Put your jewellery on after applying makeup, perfume, sunscreen, etc., and remove it first thing when you get home.
- Steer Clear of Beauty Products: Keep jewellery away from lotions, creams, perfumes, makeup, fake tan products, etc. Let these products absorb into your skin before wearing jewellery.
- Hair Products Pre-jewellery: Apply hair care products, especially hair spray, before donning your jewellery.
- Dry Off Quickly: If your jewellery gets wet, pat it dry immediately.
- Chemical-Free Zone: Avoid wearing your jewellery in spas while swimming, bathing, or showering due to potential damage from saltwater, chlorine, and other chemicals.
- Activity-Aware: Remove jewellery during high-impact activities, exercise, or before sleeping to protect against sweat and body oils.
- Safe Storage: Store your pieces in dark, dry places away from sunlight and humidity, and keep different materials separated.
- Regular Shine Maintenance: Use a lint-free polishing cloth to clean off dirt, sweat, and chemicals regularly.
- Gentle Cleaning for Shine Recovery: For pieces losing shine or getting oxidised, wash gently with natural, chemical-free soap and warm water, rinse well, blow-dry with cold air, and polish with a soft, lint-free cloth.
