The Materials We Choose

At Kaya & Olivia, materials are never an afterthought. They are part of what gives each piece its presence, durability and lasting appeal.

We curate jewellery crafted from materials carefully selected for their beauty, comfort and longevity. From premium metals to luminous stones and natural pearls, every element is chosen with intention.

Our collections primarily feature premium 316L stainless steel and 925 sterling silver, with selected pieces finished in 18k gold PVD, gold vermeil or luminous rhodium finishes for enhanced durability and refined shine.

Premium 316L Stainless Steel

Chosen for its strength, resistance to oxidation and suitability for everyday wear, 316L stainless steel offers a modern balance of durability and comfort.

Our stainless steel designs are water-resistant, hypoallergenic and made for everyday wear, offering a long-lasting alternative to short-lived costume jewellery.

18k Gold PVD Finishes

Selected pieces feature 18k gold PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating, an advanced vacuum deposition technique known for its enhanced adhesion and durability compared with conventional plating methods.

The result is a rich, luminous finish designed to better withstand everyday wear.

Sterling Silver & Precious Finishes

Our silver pieces are crafted from 925 sterling silver, valued for its precious metal content, timeless character and refined finish.

Selected designs are available with gold vermeil or rhodium finishes, offering enhanced protection, luminosity and a more elevated finish.

Like all precious metals, sterling silver may naturally develop a soft patina over time, a normal characteristic that can easily be restored with proper care.

Stones & Natural Materials

From luminous cubic zirconia and opalescent stones to naturally unique freshwater pearls, every detail is selected for its light, texture and visual character.

Because natural materials vary organically, slight differences may occur, part of what makes each piece beautifully unique.
