METALS & MATERIALS
We choose our materials for how they look, feel and wear. From gold-plated brass and sterling silver to enamel, semi-precious stones and colourful cords, each is selected to give our jewellery its distinctive finish.
Our pieces are made in small batches, combining traditional jewellery-making techniques with modern design. The result is jewellery that feels special, but never too precious - designed to be worn, layered and lived in.
GOLD PLATED
Our gold-plated jewellery is finished in 14ct or 18ct gold, depending on the design. Each finish is chosen to complement the piece, giving it its warm gold colour and distinctive shine. Gold plating will naturally change with time and wear. To keep your jewellery looking its best, avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume, lotions and other chemicals, and store it carefully when you're not wearing it.
STERLING SILVER
Our sterling silver pieces are made from 925 sterling silver - an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver. Loved for its clean, understated finish, sterling silver is easy to wear alone or mixed with gold, colour and stones.
COPPER
Copper is used as a base metal in selected designs and may be finished with gold plating, enamel or other decorative details. It allows us to create sculptural shapes and statement pieces while keeping our jewellery accessible and easy to wear.
EMBLLISHMENTS & ACCENTS
PEARLS
We use imitation pearls in selected designs, chosen for their lustre, shape and finish.
Rather than traditional pearl jewellery, you'll usually find ours mixed with colour, gold and unexpected details.
CUBIC ZIRCONIA
We use cubic zirconia across many of our designs for its clarity and brilliant sparkle. Cut to catch the light, it gives pieces the look of fine jewellery while keeping them easy to wear - and accessible.
MOISSANTIES
Moissanite is prized for its exceptional brilliance and sparkle. We use it in selected pieces where we want a particularly fine, light-catching finish. It has a slightly different character to a diamond, with more colourful flashes as it catches the light.
STONES & CRYSTALS
We use a mix of natural and semi-precious stones and crystals across our collections, chosen for their colour, texture and character.
As many of these materials are naturally occurring, subtle variations in colour, markings and finish make each piece slightly different — and are part of what we love about them.
ENAMEL
Colour is a big part of L’Atelier 73. Enamel allows us to bring it into our jewellery in unexpected ways - from flashes of cobalt and turquoise to pink, green and orange. Applied to the surface of the metal, enamel creates the smooth, colourful finish seen across many of our charms, rings and amulets.
CORD
Our colourful cords are part of the L’Atelier 73 signature.
Used throughout our collections, from Bohemian Amour bracelets and necklaces to evil eyes, amulets and charms, they bring colour and an effortless, throw-it-on quality to our jewellery. Designed to be stacked, layered, mixed and worn your own way.
FAQS
Yes, gold-plated jewellery can tarnish over time. The thin layer of gold plating can react with oxygen, moisture and other elements, leading to discolouration or fading. We recommend removing them during activities that expose them to water or chemicals to ensure longevity.
Please be aware that our jewellery are not hypoallergenic and may cause a reaction in some individuals.
The lifespan of a plated finish depends on various factors, including the type of plating and how well it is cared for. Generally, a good quality gold-plated finish can last anywhere from 1 to 5 years with proper care.
To find the right jewellery materials, consider your skin tone, lifestyle and budget. Yellow or rose gold typically complements warm skin tones, while white metals like silver and platinum are more flattering for cool skin tones. For active lifestyles, durable metals like titanium steel might be preferred.
