925 Sterling Silver: The Perfect Foundation

Meiara exclusively uses 925 sterling silver, the premium standard in fine jewelry. This superior alloy composition—92.5% pure silver combined with 7.5% copper—delivers the ideal balance of lustrous beauty and structural integrity.​

Why 925 Sterling Silver:

• Enhanced Durability: Pure silver is too soft for intricate designs and daily wear. The copper alloy fortifies the metal, making it resistant to scratches, dents, and breakage while maintaining its precious metal status​
• Design Versatility: The refined strength of 925 sterling silver allows our artisans to craft elaborate, contemporary designs with crisp detailing that pure silver cannot achieve​
• Hypoallergenic Properties: Our nickel-free 925 sterling silver is gentle on sensitive skin, eliminating the irritation and allergic reactions often caused by inferior metals​
• Lasting Value: Unlike plated or fashion jewelry that deteriorates quickly, 925 sterling silver is solid throughout, offering enduring beauty and intrinsic value that can be polished and restored for generations

Premium Rhodium Plating

Every Meiara piece is finished with a precision rhodium plating process—an essential step that elevates both protection and aesthetics. Rhodium, a rare precious metal from the platinum family, is meticulously applied through electroplating to create an ultra-thin, protective layer.​

The Rhodium Plating Process:

Our artisans first polish each piece to a flawless finish. The jewelry then undergoes ultrasonic cleaning to ensure absolute purity before being submerged in a rhodium solution and subjected to controlled electrical current, bonding the rhodium atoms to the silver surface.​

Benefits of Rhodium Plating:

• Brilliant Mirror-Like Finish: Rhodium imparts a stunning, platinum-like white luster that enhances the brilliance of moissanite stones and creates a luxurious, high-end appearance​
• Superior Tarnish Resistance: The rhodium barrier shields sterling silver from atmospheric sulfur compounds, preventing the darkening and dullness that silver naturally develops​
• Exceptional Durability: With a hardness rating of 6 on the Mohs scale compared to silver's 3, rhodium plating significantly increases scratch and corrosion resistance for pieces that endure daily wear​
• Hypoallergenic Assurance: Rhodium creates a protective barrier between skin and metal, making Meiara jewelry ideal for those with metal sensitivities

Lab-Grown Moissanite: Brilliant Cut Perfection

Meiara features GRA-certified lab-grown moissanite in brilliant cut designs—a choice that reflects our commitment to exceptional quality, ethical sourcing, and extraordinary beauty.​

Superior Optical Performance:

• Unmatched Fire and Brilliance: Moissanite possesses a refractive index of 2.65 (compared to diamond's 2.42) and a dispersion rate of 0.104—more than double that of diamond. This creates exceptional fire (rainbow-colored flashes) and brilliance (white light reflection) that surpasses traditional gemstones​
• Brilliant Cut Excellence: Our artisans select the 58-facet brilliant cut to maximize moissanite's natural optical properties, creating intense sparkle, light return, and scintillation with every movement​

GRA Certification:

Every moissanite stone is certified by GRA (Gemological Research Association), ensuring verified quality standards for:

• Color Grade: D-E-F (colorless range)​
• Clarity: VVS1 (Very Very Slightly Included)​
• Cut Quality: Excellent/Brilliant grade for optimal light performance​

This third-party certification provides authenticity, traceability, and confidence in every purchase

Rigorous Quality Control Standards

Meiara maintains uncompromising quality control protocols aligned with international jewelry manufacturing standards. Each piece undergoes multiple inspection stages:​

Multi-Stage Inspection Process:

1. Material Verification: All 925 sterling silver is authenticated with hallmark stamps and purity testing before production begins​
2. Gemstone Certification Review: Every moissanite stone is verified against its GRA certificate for carat weight, color, clarity, and cut specifications​
3. Craftsmanship Assessment: Artisans inspect metalwork for structural integrity, smooth finishes, secure settings, and flawless soldering​
4. Stone Setting Verification: Master setters ensure each moissanite is securely positioned with proper prong tension and alignment​
5. Pre-Plating Inspection: Pieces are examined for surface imperfections before rhodium plating application​
6. Final Quality Audit: Completed jewelry undergoes comprehensive review for brilliance, structural soundness, and aesthetic perfection​

This systematic approach ensures that only pieces meeting our exacting standards bear the Meiara name.
