Material choices built around your design and market.

PT Puri Lautan Mutiara works with precious and alternative metals, gemstones, findings and surface finishes for custom jewelry projects. Each specification is reviewed for appearance, construction, quantity, budget and destination-market requirements.

Specify before sampling

The right material is a technical and commercial decision.

Metal, stone and finish influence weight, strength, wear, color, price and production method. We therefore confirm the intended use and target market before recommending a practical route.

Availability, minimum order, color and natural variation can differ between projects. Final materials and components are recorded in the quotation and approved sample rather than assumed from a general website description.

Metal options

A practical base for each collection.

01

Sterling silver

925 sterling silver is our principal precious metal for cast and fabricated jewelry. Recycled silver can be specified where sourcing, availability and the project requirements allow.

  • Polished, satin, textured or oxidized finishes
  • Suitable for solid silver or plated designs
  • Weight and wall thickness reviewed by design
02

Gold

Selected designs may be developed in solid gold, including cast or handmade construction depending on karat, design, quantity and production route.

  • Availability and minimums confirmed per inquiry
  • Metal price confirmed at quotation or order stage
  • Complex work may require specialist production planning
03

Brass & white brass

Brass can support fashion and demi-fine collections where appearance and price position call for an alternative base metal. Nickel-free white-brass options can be reviewed.

  • Often combined with gold, silver or rhodium-color plating
  • Ear-contact parts may require a different metal
  • Suitability depends on destination requirements

Metal descriptions on this page are capability guidance, not a certificate for an individual order. Alloy composition, recycled-content documentation and testing requirements must be agreed for the specific project.

Plating & surface

Define both the color and the performance expectation.

A plating description should state the base metal, undercoat where required, final color, nominal thickness and any protected or intentionally unplated areas.

Gold plating & vermeil

Gold color, karat appearance and thickness are agreed by project. Gold vermeil is normally specified over sterling silver at the thickness required by the destination market or customer standard.

Rhodium-color finishes

Rhodium or related white finishes may be reviewed for brightness, color consistency and tarnish resistance, subject to the base metal and design.

Oxidation & antiquing

Darkened recesses can emphasize handmade texture and detail. The approved sample should establish the intended contrast and acceptable variation.

Polish & texture

High polish, satin, hammered, brushed and other textures are recorded with clear visual references because handmade finishes naturally vary.

Gemstones & decorative materials

Natural character, calibrated requirements.

Natural gemstones

Moonstone, opal and other semi-precious stones can be sourced subject to size, grade, treatment disclosure, availability and acceptable variation.

Created & decorative stones

Cubic zirconia, moissanite and other created or decorative materials can be considered where consistent size, appearance or budget is important.

Organic materials

Mother-of-pearl, abalone and similar materials require extra allowance for color, pattern, thickness and fragility. Destination restrictions should be checked before ordering.

Customer-supplied stones

Customer stones can be reviewed before acceptance. Quantity, dimensions, replacement policy, breakage risk and unused-material return should be agreed in writing.

Findings & components

Small components deserve precise specifications.

  • Chains and claspsLink dimensions, length, gauge, closure and logo tags.
  • Ear fittingsPosts, butterflies, hooks, wire diameter and ear-contact material.
  • Stone settingsSeat dimensions, prongs, bezels, cups and mechanical security.
  • Brand elementsLogo plates, stamps, hallmarks and country-of-origin marks.
  • Customer-supplied partsIncoming inspection, compatibility, quantities and handling responsibility.

Product safety & testing

Requirements must follow the destination market.

Jewelry requirements differ by country, product type, age group and material. Tell us where the goods will be sold before development is finalized.

Specifications may address nickel release and restrictions on lead, cadmium or other substances, including applicable customer standards. Testing is arranged only when included in the agreed scope.

PT Puri Lautan Mutiara can manufacture to an agreed material specification and coordinate requested testing, but the brand or importer remains responsible for identifying the laws, labeling, certification and documentation required in its market.

For an accurate quotation

Tell us what the material must achieve.

If a specification is still open, share the target appearance, price position and market so we can identify the decisions needed before sampling.

  • Base metal, alloy or karat requirement
  • Recycled-content or sourcing documentation needed
  • Target weight, dimensions and critical thickness
  • Stone type, size, shape, grade and acceptable variation
  • Plating color, karat appearance and nominal thickness
  • Finish, oxidation, texture and approved reference
  • Findings, chain, closures and ear-contact components
  • Destination market, testing and labeling requirements
  • Expected sample and production quantities

Frequently asked questions

Before materials are approved.

Can you use recycled sterling silver?

Yes, recycled 925 sterling silver can be specified for suitable projects. Confirm any evidence or documentation your brand requires before quotation because availability and supporting records must match the individual order.

Can I supply my own stones or components?

Potentially, after technical review. We first agree dimensions, compatibility, incoming quantities, replacement allowance, handling risk and what happens to unused material.

What plating thickness can you provide?

Thickness is specified by project rather than fixed for every item. Tell us the base metal, destination market, desired performance and customer standard so the quotation can define the appropriate process and nominal thickness.

Are natural stones identical?

No. Color, pattern, inclusions and dimensions can vary. We agree a grade, size range and visual tolerance, ideally using an approved sample or selection reference.

Plan the specification

Choose materials with production in mind.

Send your design, quantities, target market and preferred materials. We will identify availability, technical questions and the next sampling step.
