OUR MATERIALS
REALYOU jewellery pieces are designed to last forever. We take pride in our quality and value, sourcing only the best and long-lasting material so that each piece can be worn with love all day, every day.
REALYOU Diamond Simulants
Our stones are personally handpicked and specially cut to meet the global grading benchmarks of the 4Cs of diamonds, created by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). With years of experience from our master craftsmen, every facet of our stone is meticulously cut to precise angles and exact proportions to achieve the maximum balance of brilliance, scintillation, and fire of a natural diamond. Even through a jewellery loupe, our diamond simulants are nearly impossible to differentiate.
Unlike natural diamonds, diamond simulants make an excellent and responsible choice since they do not require any diamond mining. Most customers opt for diamond simulants because they are generally offered at a lower price point as they do not have the same chemical and physical properties with natural diamonds.
Gold Vermeil
We use gold vermeil as our primary material as it is high in quality with the look of fine jewellery that is reasonably priced. Vermeil consists of thicker layers of gold on sterling silver. Unlike other gold plating, gold vermeil is a much thicker layer of gold to ensure long-lasting wear. We use 18K gold with a minimum of 2.5 microns thick layered over sterling silver to ensure its shine and durability.
Solid Gold
We also design timeless pieces in 9K, 14K, and 18K Solid Gold, which is an alloy of gold mixed with other white metals such as silver and palladium. Solid Gold should not oxidise and won’t lose its colour over time, so we highly recommend choosing this material for your jewellery that you wish to wear daily such as engagement rings or any favourite piece that you want to hold onto forever.
