Every Shimora piece is made in real, hallmarked metal. Here is how they compare.
925 sterling silver
92.5 percent pure silver, alloyed for strength. Bright, cool-toned and the most accessible of our metals. Silver darkens with time and air; a polishing cloth brings it back.
Choose it for: everyday wear, mixing with white gold, building a stack without overthinking it.
Gold vermeil
A layer of gold over 925 sterling silver. The warmth of gold at a lighter price. Treat it gently and keep it away from chlorine and harsh chemicals so the gold layer lasts.
Choose it for: the gold look on statement pieces and trends you want to try.
9KT gold
Solid gold all the way through: 37.5 percent pure gold, alloyed for strength. Available in yellow, rose and white. The most durable of our metals and the one you never need to take off.
Choose it for: rings and pieces you wear every single day, and lab-grown diamond settings.
