  1. What is Fine Gold?
    From the early civilizations of the world, gold has been around for centuries. When it comes to gold, jewels and riches come to mind. Pure gold comes in a soft form and is unable to handle the stress of everyday wear and tear. Due to this weakness, gold is mixed with other metals, such as silver, copper, and nickel to give it durability. 22ct gold is the purest gold on the market.  Even though 24ct gold is 100% pure gold, it is too soft to use for jewellery crafting. The same goes for 22ct gold. Gold of 18ct value is 75% gold and is alloyed with other metals to give the jewellery piece enough strength to withstand every day wear and it is the highest quality gold used by the jewellery industry. RUIFIER fine pieces are made entirely of 18ct gold to ensure our customers receive the best and finest quality jewels. 

  2. What is Gold Vermeil?
    Gold Vermeil is a layer of gold over Sterling Silver.  To be considered vermeil, the gold must be at least 10 carat (42%) and be at least 2.5 micrometres thick. The word "vermeil" is a French word which came into use in the English language in the 19th century as an alternative for the usual term silver-gilt.
  3. What is Sterling Silver?
    Sterling Silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. Fine silver (99.9% pure) is generally too soft for producing large functional objects, and in Sterling Silver, the silver is usually alloyed with copper to give strength whilst preserving the malleability of the silver and high precious metal content.
  4. Are RUIFIER diamonds from traceable sources?
    RUIFIER is committed to The Kimberley Process, thus all of our diamonds are sourced in ethical and responsible manner, ensuring that no conflict diamonds enter our supply chain.
