Our Quality Standards
Every Dellyrica piece begins with 925 sterling silver, a thoughtfully chosen finish, and gemstones selected to suit the design. Here is what the materials and specifications mean.
925 sterling silver, at the heart of every piece
Our jewelry is crafted with 925 sterling silver as its metal base. The “925” mark means 92.5% silver, combined with other metals to provide the strength needed for detailed, wearable designs.
Every piece receives a palladium underlayer beneath its gold or rhodium finish, followed by a final anti-tarnish protective coating. Together, these finishing layers help preserve the jewelry's color and shine.
Finished with a palladium underlayer, a gold or rhodium surface, and an anti-tarnish protective coating.
A richer layer of gold
Our gold-tone jewelry is made over 925 sterling silver. Depending on the piece, it features a 2 μm layer of 14K, 18K, or 24K gold, or a selected 14K or 18K gold vermeil finish. Both use a substantial gold layer to help the finish retain its rich color and beauty with regular care.
14K, 18K or 24K gold plating
A substantial gold layer over 925 sterling silver. The gold karat is specified for each style.
14K or 18K gold vermeil
A thicker gold finish over sterling silver, selected for designs where we want even more depth of color and lasting beauty.
Made to hold its beauty. Our thick gold plating and selected vermeil finishes help resist everyday wear and keep their color longer. A palladium underlayer and final anti-tarnish coating add protection to every piece.
Cool-white rhodium brilliance
All of our silver-tone jewelry starts with 925 sterling silver and receives a 0.1–0.5 μm rhodium plated finish. Rhodium gives the surface its bright, cool-white look and helps resist tarnishing.
As with every Dellyrica piece, a palladium underlayer sits beneath the precious-metal finish, while an anti-tarnish protective coating completes the surface to help maintain its color and shine.

Selected for color, light, and character
We use lab-grown colored gemstones, natural gemstones, and moissanite. Each category has its own character, so we describe the stone used in each piece rather than applying one grading scale to every gem.
Moissanite
Our moissanite is selected at VVS1 clarity or higher for a clean appearance and lively sparkle. Cut and color details, where specified, are listed for the individual design.
Lab-grown colored gemstones
Created through controlled crystal growth, these stones are chosen for their color, visual appeal, and fit with the design. The gemstone variety is identified on each product page.
Natural gemstones
Natural stones can show variations and inclusions that make each one distinct. We select them for their color, character, and overall beauty.
Made to be worn and cared for. Put jewelry on after perfume and lotion, remove it before swimming or showering, and clean it gently with a soft cloth. Read our Jewelry Care guide for the full care instructions.
