Our Materials
At KYERLYN, our founding belief is that beauty should not be a luxury, allowing every consumer to own a piece of jewelry they love without worrying about the price. We collaborate with our trusted suppliers, carefully selecting materials with consideration for quality, durability, and longevity.
14K GOLD
When properly maintained, our 14k yellow gold pieces can last a lifetime. With their lovely, subtle hue, you can wear your jewelry daily, wherever you go. 14k gold, with its higher percentage of alloyed metals, is more durable and resistant to everyday wear than 18k gold. Our 14k white gold items are enhanced with rhodium plating for additional shine and durability.
To lessen our environmental footprint while still supporting local mining communities, our jewelry is made from 95% recycled gold and 5% newly mined gold (including 14k gold and 18k gold vermeil). The quality remains the same, whether the gold is recycled or newly mined.
We aim to prioritize the use of certified recycled gold in our collections while ensuring that any newly mined gold is sourced from suppliers who adhere to international sustainability standards and best practices, such as those outlined by the Responsible Jewelry Council.
DIAMONDS
Our lab-grown diamonds offer the same sparkling quality as natural diamonds, created with the same physical and chemical properties. They are an excellent choice for those seeking great value and exceptional diamond brilliance.
Just like natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are graded on the 4 Cs: carat, clarity, color, and cut. They often exhibit fewer impurities and inclusions, which can result in higher clarity and color grades.
Additionally, our lab-grown diamonds are SCS Global certified, the leading standard for sustainability. This certification ensures that each stone meets the highest standards of responsible luxury, including full traceability from start to finish, climate neutrality, and ethical production practices.
STERLING SILVER
We use 925 sterling silver, which is the industry standard in the United States and many global markets. Comprising 92.5% pure silver, it is a highly durable material ideal for everyday, long-term wear. In 2020, we partnered with our suppliers to ensure that 89% of our silver jewelry was made from recycled materials. This significant percentage of recycled silver highlights our ongoing commitment to minimizing environmental impact and improving the traceability of precious materials throughout our supply chain.
PEARLS
We use cultured pearls from oysters and freshwater mussels, each selected with care for our jewelry pieces. Given their delicate nature, it's important to handle pearls with love and attention.
