The materials we use at Izaya Jewels
Quality, beauty, and meaning in every piece
At Izaya Jewels, we believe jewellery should be more than just beautiful; it should feel good to wear, last for years, and carry meaning. That’s why every piece in our collection is made using carefully chosen high-quality materials that balance luxury, durability, and affordability.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the materials we use to create your favourite Izaya Jewels pieces and why we love them.
Natural Gemstones
Every gemstone we use is genuine and natural, chosen for its unique energy, beauty, and symbolism.
From calming Amazonite to protective Obsidian, each stone carries its own story and meaning, something we value deeply when designing mindful, intentional jewellery.
Our gemstones are:
- Ethically sourced from trusted suppliers
- Carefully selected for colour, clarity, and natural patterns
- Cut and polished to highlight their natural sparkle
Why we love them:
We choose natural gemstones because they connect you to nature, energy, and emotion. Each stone is one of a kind, just like the person wearing it.
Gold-Filled Components
We use 14ct gold-filled chains and findings across our collections. Gold-filled jewellery offers the perfect balance of luxury and longevity, without the high price tag of solid gold.
Unlike gold plating, which can wear off quickly, gold-filled jewellery has a thick layer of real gold pressure-bonded to a base metal, usually brass. This makes it tarnish-resistant, waterproof, and safe for sensitive skin.
Why we love it:
Gold-filled jewellery gives you the rich, long-lasting shine of real gold that you can wear every day - shower, sleep, and live in - without worrying about fading or irritation.
Preciosa Seed Beads
We proudly use Preciosa® seed beads and crystals, world-renowned for their exceptional quality, colour range, and consistency. Each bead is made in the Czech Republic using time-honoured glassmaking techniques.
These beads are smooth, durable, and beautifully vibrant - perfect for adding texture and colour to your jewellery without compromising elegance.
Why we love them:
Preciosa beads and crystals allow us to add subtle detail and colour to our designs, creating a modern yet timeless look.
Miyuki Seed Beads
We also use Miyuki® seed beads, known as the highest quality glass beads made in Japan. Their precision and uniformity make them ideal for delicate, minimalist designs that look polished and refined.
Why we love them:
Miyuki beads bring balance, symmetry, and a smooth, high-end finish to our beaded jewellery - perfect for anyone who loves understated elegance.
