Frequently asked questions
At Zhima Jewellery, we sell demi-fine jewellery including necklaces, earrings, bracelets, cuffs.
Demi-fine jewellery serves as a middle ground between fine jewellery (solid gold, precious gemstones) and fashion jewellery. It is crafted using a base metal such as sterling silver, stainless steel, or titanium steel, which is then coated with a layer of precious metal like gold (typically 14k or 18k) through a process called "vermeil plating." This technique offers the luxurious appearance of fine jewellery while being more affordable due to the base metal core. The process involves intricate design, meticulous crafting, and ensuring the plating thickness meets the standards for "demi-fine" quality, providing a high-end look without the hefty price tag.
Yes! Demi-fine jewellery is designed for everyday wear.
Its quality materials ensure durability, allowing you to enjoy your pieces regularly. However, proper care, like avoiding harsh chemicals and excessive moisture, will prolong its lifespan.
Demi-fine jewellery is more resistant to tarnishing compared to fashion jewellery, but tarnishing can still occur over time. To minimize this, store your jewellery in a dry place and clean it regularly.
