Materials & Care Guide

OUR CRAFTSMANSHIP

Luxury is no longer about status.

It’s about substance—jewelry that looks sharp, feels effortless, and holds up through everything.

CRAFTED TO LAST

At Ardant, our jewelry is meticulously handcrafted using the finest materials. Each piece is crafted with precious metals designed to withstand everyday life and finished with a protective PVD layer that most brands skip. This extra step keeps your jewelry resistant to tarnish, scratches, and daily wear.

18K GOLD VERMEIL

Our vermeil is a thick layer of 18K gold on sterling silver. Unlike typical gold-plated jewelry with its thin gold layer (less than 0.5 microns) over brass or copper, our pieces feature 2.5 microns of 18K gold over sterling silver. This meets the official US Federal Trade Commission standard for vermeil and means your jewelry stays golden for decades, not just a season or two.

Care Guide:

Clean your jewelry by buffing them gently with a dry cloth.

925 STERLING SILVER

Our silver pieces are crafted from solid 925 sterling silver—the highest quality silver standard for jewelry. We also add an extra rhodium finish for enhanced shine and tarnish resistance. This premium treatment means your silver pieces maintain their brilliant luster longer, even with daily wear.

Care Guide:

Clean your jewelry by buffing them gently with a dry cloth.

MOISSANITE

Discovered in a meteor crater in Arizona in 1893, moissanite is a gemstone born from the stars. Due to its rarity in nature, almost all moissanite (including Ardant’s) is lab-grown, requiring no mining and having a smaller carbon footprint, making it both ethical and conflict-free. With a fiery brilliance that surpasses diamonds and a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is perfect for everyday wear and retains its sparkle for years.

Care Guide:

Moissanite never gets cloudy. To maintain its brilliance, simply scrub lightly with a soft-bristled brush, detergent-free soap, and warm water.

FRESHWATER PEARLS

We use cultured pearls from freshwater oysters and mussels, with each baroque pearl being unique in shape, character, and luster. These one-of-a-kind pearls add a touch of individuality to every piece.
