Transparency above all. Gold, silver, and nothing else.

At Opaline Paris , we firmly believe that jewelry is an emotional object that should last. That's why we've banned brass, steel, and base metals from our workshops. We work exclusively with precious metals.

1. The Soul of the Jewel: Solid Silver S925

It all starts with the base. No copper, no unknown metals. All our creations are crafted from a 925 Sterling Silver base.

• Why? It is a noble, precious metal and naturally hypoallergenic.
• The guarantee: You will find the maker's mark or the "925" hallmark on each of our pieces, guaranteeing their authenticity.
• For you: The assurance of wearing a healthy piece of jewelry that respects your skin and will not cause allergies (0% Nickel, 0% Lead, 0% Cadmium).

2. The Brilliance: 3 Micron Gold Plating

To adorn this silver, we do not simply "gild". We apply a layer of 18-carat gold with a thickness of 3 microns .

• The standard: This thickness corresponds to the French legal designation of "Gold Plated" and to the "Vermeil" standard in the United States.
• The finish: We worked with a soft and luminous shade of gold, neither too yellow nor too red, for a chic and timeless look.
• Durability: Thanks to its generous thickness, your jewelry withstands daily life much longer than classic gold plating.

Our Quality Commitments

• Hypoallergenic : Absolutely respectful of sensitive skin.
• 1-year warranty: Because we believe in the quality of our plating.
• Certified: Precious metals that are inspected and hallmarked.

Our Stones: Uncompromising Radiance

At Opaline Paris , we believe a piece of jewelry should shine. Not just on the first day, but for a long time. That's why, just as with our metals, we've banned low-grade crystals and glass.

We have selected two types of exceptional stones to accompany our Silver and Gold settings: 5A Zirconium for our timeless pieces, and Moissanite for our prestige pieces.

1. 5A Zirconium: Everyday "Diamond" Brilliance

(Featured in our 3-micron gold-plated collection)

Think all rhinestones are created equal? ​​Think again. Zirconium oxide (or zirconia) is graded on a quality scale from A to 5A.

• A or AAA: What you usually find in classic costume jewelry. Shiny, but lacks depth.
• 5A Quality (The Opaline Choice): This is the top of the pyramid. Our stones are hand-cut with the same facets as a genuine diamond (Brilliant cut).
• The result: Pure clarity, intense light refraction, and exceptional durability. To the naked eye, it is almost impossible to distinguish it from a diamond.

2. Moissanite: Born of the Stars

(Coming soon to our Gold Filled Prestige collection)

For our upcoming exceptional collection, we wanted to go even further. We chose Moissanite , a fascinating stone with a unique history.

• Origin: Initially discovered in a meteorite, Moissanite is now recreated in the laboratory for perfect purity and impeccable ethics (0 conflict, unlike some diamonds).
• Brighter than diamond: It's scientific. Moissanite's refractive index (2.65) is higher than that of diamond (2.42). It reflects more light and offers spectacular rainbow "fires".
• Scratch-resistant (or almost): On the Mohs hardness scale, diamond is 10. Moissanite is 9.25. It is the second hardest gemstone in the world after diamond. It will never scratch and will retain its brilliance forever.
• The ultimate test: Moissanite is so close to diamond that it often fools jewelers' thermal testers!

Comparative Chart: Understanding What You Wear

To help you choose, here's how our stones compare to the rest of the market:
