Our Materials
Fine jewellery is esteemed for its materials and the extraordinary craftsmanship invested in its creation, but the emotional bond it forges with us is truly beyond measure.
Our environmental commitment
At Luxtails, we are steadfast in our commitment to sourcing all precious metals and stones from a local and internationally accredited supplier. This deliberate choice plays a pivotal role in our efforts to conscientiously monitor and minimize our environmental footprint. The supplier’s accreditations provide us with the assurance that our materials are both conflict-free and responsibly sourced.
Furthermore, our trusted supplier adheres to environmentally sustainable practices by recycling their raw materials internally and employing cutting-edge eco-friendly metal refining technologies. This dedication ensures that all Luxtails silver and gold are produced with the utmost environmental responsibility in mind.
– Our promise –
Luxtails knows your four-legged family members deserve the best quality. These are the only materials our skilled jewellers use to craft your precious pieces.
STERLING SILVER
Luxtails’ sterling silver items are certified to contain 92.5 percent sterling silver. Our silver jewellery is solid, not plated, and is thoughtfully treated with a special anti-tarnish coating. Beyond the higher quality, this ensures that each piece retains its pristine appearance over an extended period.
The inherent durability of solid sterling silver makes it an ideal choice for jewellery that may encounter a few bumps and knocks during its lifetime. To further assure its quality, all Luxtails sterling silver pieces are proudly hallmarked.
GOLD
Each Luxtails gold jewellery piece is meticulously crafted from a solid alloy of nine-carat yellow, rose, or white gold. This not only ensures exceptional durability but also preserves its flawless color over time. The hallmark and caratage imprinted on all our gold products serve as a steadfast guarantee of their superior quality.
DIAMONDS
Fake diamonds are far from being anyone’s best friend. That’s why, at Luxtails, we exclusively use genuine diamonds of exceptional quality.
To be specific:
- Our white diamonds are categorized as H/P1, or ‘near-colorless.’
- Our champagne diamonds fall within the C3-C4 range, or ‘medium champagne.’
- All our diamonds are meticulously cut in the round brilliant style.
Rest assured that all our diamonds are conscientiously sourced and bear certification as conflict-free. For further details on the quantity of diamonds adorning our pieces and their Total Diamond Weight (TDW), please consult the product description.
BIRTHSTONES
Each month of the year is associated with a distinct semi-precious gemstone, each carrying its unique symbolism.
At Luxtails, all our colored gemstones are entirely natural and responsibly sourced. They are meticulously cut to a diameter of four millimeters and are skillfully hand-set into a sterling silver or nine-carat yellow gold setting.
Our stones hold a remarkable quality level, falling within the AA-A grade range. This classification signifies that they surpass commercial-grade stones and have been identified as clean and expertly cut.
For comprehensive details about each stone, we encourage you to explore the descriptions provided on the product pages. To delve into the meanings behind all our gemstones and their corresponding birth months, please visit “The Charm of the Birthstone.
Our production
Luxtails adheres to a lean inventory business model, with the majority of our jewellery crafted on a made-to-order basis. This approach, coupled with aligning our production with the demand and recycling all scrap materials internally, enables us to minimize waste to an almost negligible level.
Within our Sydney-based workshop, we take pride in hosting a top-tier team of jewelers, accredited by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) in London. They exclusively employ Australian accredited metals, as well as diamonds and gemstones that are guaranteed to be conflict-free.
