We make our products with passion and love and treat them like our own children. With our appreciation to your collecting, we are honored to hand over our creations in your care. |
配戴
配戴珠寶是開心愉悅的,為避免費心尋找遺失的珠寶,配戴使用前檢查確認珠寶的完整性,尤其是安全鎖扣等部件是否正常。
清潔 灰塵和空氣汙染會使閃亮珠寶蓋上陰影,知道如何正確清潔珠寶能使您的收藏光潔如新。因其物理特性,部分鑲嵌特定寶石的作品需要更加留意清潔方式。
收納 為避免珠寶互相摩擦碰撞,所有珠寶首飾應個別收納,如有分隔的珠寶盒或軟部珠寶袋等。珠寶直接互相碰撞可能會造成寶石損傷,或金屬表面刮傷等。 |
Wearing
Always check the condition of the jewelry before each wear, especially the parts that functions in securing. Wearing jewelry is quite pleasing, but it wouldn't please too much if the piece was lost.
Cleaning Dust and pollution would cover a shadow over the gemstones' brilliance. To know how to clean your precious collection is an important step to keep your stars shine. Jewelry with some specific gemstones need extra care with different methods due to the nature and physical property of the gems.
Storing All jewelry should be stored separately in boxes with divided cells or cloth bags to prevent rubbing of each other. Direct contacts of the gems and/or metal will leave scratches or cracks on either or both parts due to different hardness. |
金 (Au)
金千年來一直被使用於硬幣,裝飾和珠寶。和其他金屬不同不同,其金黃色澤使其獨特。抗酸性令黃金幾乎不損耗也不氧化,其穩定特質讓黃金為長久保存的代表。黃金和其他金屬混合之合金能改善黃金過軟的問題,調整合金成分和比例則是處理黃金顏色的主要手法。最常使用於珠寶的黃金為黃色,玫瑰色(銅紅色),及白色。18K金為珠寶製作的最佳選擇,其黃金含量和硬度符合珠寶保值和鑲嵌需求。14K 金則是最有人氣的選擇,在價格,保值,和保存性之間的平衡。 黃金製品標示為 24K(999),22K(916),18K(750), 14K(585),來表示其黃金含量. 鉑 (Pt) 鉑在珠寶常用的三種貴金屬(鉑,金,銀)中是最稀有昂貴的。暴露在空氣中的鉑長時間也不氧化不耗損。在珠寶應用上,有些人認為黃金的黃色會影響鑲嵌於上的鑽石色澤表現,因此選用鉑金為最完美的鑽石搭檔,儘管價格高於黃金,鉑金常被用於高端頂珠寶的製作。最常見之鉑金比例為 Pt950,因其硬度最適合用於寶石鑲嵌。 鉑金製品標示為 Pt1000,Pt950,Pt900,和 Pt850 ,規定鉑成分低於千分之 850 的製品不能稱為鉑金首飾。 在華語中常稱鉑金為白金,常與白K金(白色K黃金)搞混。兩者皆為貴重金屬,也都是常用於珠寶製作上,但價格還是有所差別,購買珠寶時要注意其註明之白金為何者。

Gold has been used for coins, decorations, and jewelry for thousands of years. It is attractive for it's yellow colour that differs from other metals. Gold is hard-wearing over time and resistant to acids and tarnishing. Gold alloyed with other metals to improve hardness for many products. The colour of gold also varies, depends upon the amount and type of other metals that be alloyed with gold. The most commonly used in jewelry are yellow gold, rose gold, and white gold. 18K gold is excellent in jewelry making for its high value and ideal hardness for stone setting, while 14K gold be the most popular choice in jewelry as it has a good balance of durability and value.
Gold is marked as 24K (999), 22K (916), 18K (750), 14K (585) to indicate the percentage of gold alloyed in the material. Platinum is the rarest and most valuable of the three precious metals - silver, gold, and platinum. Platinum does not tarnish when exposed to air and over time. Some people think that the yellowish light reflected from gold jewelry would affect the appearance of pure white diamonds set upon, thus platinum is believed to be a perfect, if not expensive, setting material for cut diamonds, as the colors complement each other. Platinum is therefore usually find in high jewelry creations. It is most commonly found in jewelry products made with Pt900 platinum, for its ideal hardness for stone setting. Platinum is marked as Pt1000, Pt 950, Pt900, and Pt850 to indicate the percentage of platinum alloyed in the material. Wearing

銀 (Ag)
銀的光澤在金屬中是最優美柔軟,有如月光般的溫潤含蓄。銀易於黑化的特性也是常被用來做為藝術表現的加強手法。除了珠寶之外,銀也常被用來製作家飾和餐具。變黑變黃的銀飾一般常被大家誤稱為氧化的情形,應理解為硫化。銀是因為空氣中含有些微的硫而開始變黑,不是因為氧化的關係。變黑的銀飾可以用拭銀布或洗銀水,將表層的硫化銀去除(或還原)後,即可恢復銀白光澤。請注意這表示表有銀的耗損。 常見銀製品標示為 Fine Silver(999,純銀)和目前國際標準接受的 Sterling Silver(925),為92.5%含銀量合金。其中7.5%其他金屬配方是為增加銀合金的硬度,使其能更加適合用於珠寶製作上。 瑞萊夢臻的銀製品,除了標示 Oxidized 或 Antique 為硫化黑不鍍金處理,其餘皆為珠寶級表層電鍍。電鍍表層可以保護內部的純銀不黑化,增加光澤以及改變視覺顏色的優勢。電鍍層在長期使用耗損後,即露出內部原本銀的本體色。可再送珠寶店做電鍍保養美容,延長銀飾使用。

寶石

珍珠
珍珠很早曾被認為是人魚的眼淚,也被視為美麗純淨圓滿的象徵。至今珍珠仍然可在珠寶應用上,不管古典或現代風格皆很常見。自從成功研發出人為培育珍珠蠔的方法後,珍珠成為能更親民的珠寶選擇。 天然珍珠(或應該稱野生珍珠)至今還是有機會被發現,但是數量因大自然環境被破壞影響而減少許多,使得不易取得的野生珍珠更加珍貴,天然野生珍珠通常小而高單價。另一方面,養殖珍珠則是在人為控管的環境中的珍珠蠔生成,能有效提升珍珠貝的存活率而提高珍珠的品質和產量。現今市面所稱之天然珍珠通常是指養殖珍珠(Cultured Pearls)。 在市面上常見的珍珠類別:
