Our Materials: Vintage Handmade Jewelry at Its Core
At Peony Jewels, every piece of vintage handmade jewelry begins with a deep respect for natural materials
and a commitment to artistic integrity. Peonyjewels believe that the soul of handcrafted jewelry lies in the materials choose.
Although our country supplies much of the world’s gemstones, brass, and freshwater pearls,
Peonyjewels take great care to hand-select each material, ensuring it reflects both nature’s raw beauty and the unique artistry in every piece.
At Peonyjewels, we thoughtfully select each material for our vintage handmade jewelry—from hypoallergenic brass to
naturally formed baroque pearls. By doing so, we create a unique wearing experience that seamlessly blends timeless aesthetics with artistic expression.
14k Solid Gold
Solid gold is a precious metal that does not oxidize or discolor, making it ideal for everyday wear. We use 14K gold for its warm, understated tone and excellent durability. Compared to 18K gold, it’s more resistant to scratches and bending—perfect for vintage handmade jewelry that’s meant to be worn and loved daily. As one of our signature vintage handmade jewelry materials, 14K gold combines lasting beauty with practicality.
925 Sterling Silver
925 sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. To enhance shine and longevity, Peonyjewels finish our silver pieces with a layer of rhodium—one of the rarest and most valuable precious metals. This extra step adds brilliance and durability, making it a trusted material in our vintage handmade jewelry materials collection.
Refined Brass
Refined brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and elegant golden tone. Its versatility allows us to craft vintage handmade jewelry that is both durable and expressive. As one of our most distinctive vintage jewelry materials, brass bridges timeless aesthetics with everyday functionality.
Natural Gemstones
At Peony Jewels, Peonyjewels use natural gemstones in all our designs unless otherwise noted. Each stone is carefully selected for its unique color, clarity, and symbolism. These gemstones are not only beautiful but also meaningful, adding soul to every piece. They are among the most expressive handmade jewelry materials we work with, ensuring every creation is truly one-of-a-kind.
