All Julie Vos jewels begin with traditional lost wax casting using nickel-free brass, which is then hand-worked with time-honored techniques including hand-hammering, soldering, stone setting, and polishing before being plated with warm 24K gold and sealed for durability. We source pearl and mother of pearl that meet exacting standards for shape, surface quality, and lustre, and our imported glass gemstones are selected for color, clarity, and brilliance.
