What is Fine Jewellery? Discover the Sparkling Truth Behind Shayn’s Luxury Pieces

In the world of accessories, fine jewellery holds a timeless allure that’s unmatched. Whether it’s the sparkle of a diamond or the rich lustre of silver or gold, fine jewellery is more than just an adornment; it’s a statement of elegance, heritage, and love. But what really makes jewellery “fine”? Let’s uncover the brilliance behind it and why Shayn’s fine jewellery deserves a special place in your collection.

Understanding the Core of Fine Jewellery

Fine jewellery refers to pieces crafted from precious metals like gold or platinum and often embellished with genuine gemstones, including diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds. Unlike costume or fashion jewellery, fine jewellery is made to last generations, both in quality and style.

Shayn specialises in pieces using certified gold-plated 925 sterling silver, ensuring strength and purity, as well as Moissanite that sparkles with unmatched brilliance.

How Fine Jewellery Differs from Fashion Jewellery

Fine jewellery isn’t just a purchase, it’s an investment in timeless beauty. Shayn’s commitment to craftsmanship and quality materials sets it leagues apart from disposable fashion pieces.

The Importance of Precious Metals

925 Sterling Silver

925 sterling silver is composed of 92.5% pure silver, blended with other metals to enhance strength and durability. It offers a brilliant shine and timeless appeal, making it a popular choice for both everyday wear and special occasions.

Shayn crafts each piece in 925 sterling silver to combine beauty with lasting quality, ensuring your jewellery remains elegant and resilient for years to come.

Moissanite in Fine Jewellery

Moissanite is a gemstone of extraordinary brilliance, offering a sustainable and dazzling alternative to traditional diamonds and ethical lab-grown diamonds. At Shayn, we embrace its modern elegance and ethical origins.

Moissanite: Originally discovered in a meteorite, this lab-created gem rivals diamonds in sparkle and durability, with a fire that’s uniquely its own.

Shayn’s Moissanite collections let you shine boldly and responsibly, capturing the look of luxury with a conscience.

Hallmarks of Authentic Fine Jewellery

Look for:

• Hallmarks indicating metal purity (e.g., 585 for 14k gold, 750 for 18k gold, 925 for sterling silver)
