Our Materials

At Fernovia Design, our commitment to quality and timeless beauty shines through in every piece we create. We select premium materials, focusing on durability, elegance, and sustainability, to ensure each piece complements and enriches your daily life. Here’s a closer look at the luxurious elements that make up our jewellery:

S925 Sterling Silver

We use S925 Sterling Silver, a metal renowned for its strength and lasting beauty, made from recycled silver to support sustainability and minimize environmental impact. Composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper), S925 sterling silver has a natural lustre and hypoallergenic properties. Its durability makes it ideal for creating intricate, enduring designs. We choose recycled S925 sterling silver for its elegance and timeless appeal, ensuring it can withstand daily wear while retaining its brilliance, all while being better for the environment.

18ct Gold Vermeil 

Our Gold Vermeil pieces feature a thick layer of 18ct recycled gold plated over sterling silver, supporting sustainability while offering luxurious elegance. Unlike standard gold-plated jewellery, vermeil has a layer of gold that is at least 2.5 microns thick, making it a more durable alternative. The use of 18ct recycled gold gives it a rich, warm hue that exudes sophistication, making each piece an elegant staple. Gold vermeil allows for a high-quality finish without the premium price tag of solid gold, balancing luxury with accessibility while being better for the environment.

Natural Freshwater Pearls & Mother of Pearl

Our natural Freshwater Pearls are cultivated on environmentally conscious farms. Each pearl is meticulously hand-selected for its lustrous, creamy glow, ensuring it meets our high-quality standards. Freshwater pearls exude a soft, timeless elegance, seamlessly complementing both casual and formal styles with their versatility.

We also feature Mother of Pearl, an exquisite natural material formed from the iridescent inner layer of mollusk shells. Known for its captivating shimmer and smooth texture, Mother of Pearl adds an understated yet radiant charm to our designs. Its organic beauty embodies elegance and serenity, making it the perfect complement to our handcrafted jewellery.
