14K / 18K SOLID GOLD

At PETRALO, we exclusively use real, solid 14K and 18K gold in our collections, with each piece marked by the AU 585 or AU 750 hallmark.

14K Gold: Striking an impressive balance between quality and practicality, 14K gold contains 58.3% pure gold. This durable alloy is comfortable, scratch-resistant, and ideal for everyday wear, making it perfect for rings and necklaces that see regular use. Its rich, warm hue complements a variety of gemstones, ensuring each piece remains stylish and timeless. With its affordability and resilience, 14K gold is a popular choice for those seeking both beauty and functionality.

18K Gold: Known for its luxurious appearance, 18K gold contains 75% pure gold, making it a favored option for high-end jewelry. Its ideal balance of purity and durability ensures strength and resilience, along with excellent resistance to tarnish and corrosion for long-lasting beauty. The warm color of 18K gold enhances the natural brilliance of various gemstones, making it a preferred choice for crafting exquisite, enduring pieces.

By using 14K and 18K solid gold, we maintain a commitment to the highest standards of quality, aesthetics, craftsmanship, and sustainability. This dedication allows us to create remarkable pieces that endure the test of time, celebrating the beauty of gemstones in their finest form and providing a truly exceptional jewelry experience.

PETRALO is also conscious of the environmental impact of metal sourcing and makes a concerted effort to use recycled gold in our pieces.

PRECIOUS GEMSTONES

The gemstones in PETRALO pieces are sourced globally, including Thailand, Brazil, Afghanistan, Madagascar, and other regions using fair trade practices. The gemstones undergo precise cutting at their origin or in Thailand.

Based on our expertise, there are certain selections at the origin and color to ensure the highest quality jewelry. For example, we only use natural Australian opals, not African opals, only Sri Lankan sapphires, not Chinese sapphires, only Colombian emeralds; not Zambian emeralds. Regardless of the size of the diamond, it is all FG VS grade.

*a high-quality natural colored gemstone does not imply perfection.

It will inevitably exhibit the growth characteristics inherent to natural gemstones, including inclusions, cracks, and other unique marks bestowed upon it by nature.
