925 Sterling Silver
925 sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver, combined with other metals to give the material additional strength and make it suitable for jewelry making.
Sterling silver is known for its distinctive cool tone and versatile appearance. At Froyé, we use 925 sterling silver as the foundation for contemporary jewelry designed to feel comfortable and easy to style.
Silver may naturally tarnish or oxidize over time. This is a normal characteristic of the material and can be reduced with proper care. Sterling silver is also recyclable and can be worn for many years when handled carefully.
14K Gold Plating
Selected Froyé pieces are finished with a layer of 14K gold, giving the jewelry its warm golden tone while the material underneath forms the base of the piece.
As with Gold plated jewelry, the finish may gradually change depending on frequency of wear, skin contact, friction, moisture, perfume and cosmetics. Careful handling helps preserve its appearance for longer.
Rhodium Plating
Rhodium is a precious metal from the platinum family and is used in jewelry for its bright, cool-toned finish.
A Rhodium plated finish gives selected Froyé pieces a clean, reflective surface and can provide the underlying silver with additional protection against tarnishing and external influences.
Like any surface finish, rhodium plating may gradually change depending on wear and care. We recommend protecting Rhodium plated jewelry from moisture, chemicals and excessive friction.
Zirconia
Zirconia is used in contemporary jewelry for its clear appearance and strong light reflection.
At Froyé, we use zirconia as a considered design element, from subtle points of light to more expressive pieces. It adds brightness while allowing the overall form of the jewelry to remain clean and balanced.
Enamel
Enamel introduces color, contrast and depth to jewelry. Different enamel techniques and materials may be used depending on the design and production method.
At Froyé, we use enamel as a colorful design element alongside clean forms and contemporary details.
To help preserve its finish, enamel jewelry should be protected from strong impacts, scratches, perfume, cosmetics and harsh cleaning products.
Freshwater Pearls
Freshwater pearls form inside mussels cultivated in freshwater environments. Slight variations in shape, surface and luster are part of their natural character.
At Froyé, we combine freshwater pearls with contemporary forms and considered proportions to give classic pearl jewelry a modern expression.
Pearls are more delicate than many other jewelry materials and should be protected from perfume, cosmetics, chemicals and prolonged exposure to moisture.
