We want you to know exactly what you are wearing. House of Yugavi makes artificial (fashion) jewellery, with a small range of demi-fine pieces. None of our jewellery is solid gold or silver, and we do not use natural gemstones.
What our jewellery is made of
- Base metal: brass or a brass-based alloy — strong, skin-friendly and lightweight.
- Finish: 22K or 14K gold plating, or a silver-tone / oxidised finish, depending on the design.
- Protection: most pieces carry an anti-tarnish e-coating that helps the finish last longer.
- Stones and details: kundan-style glass stones, cubic zirconia (CZ), faux pearls, beads and enamel (meenakari-style) work.
Demi-fine pieces
Our demi-fine pieces use a thicker gold plating over the base metal, made for longer, more regular wear. Where a piece is demi-fine, it is mentioned on the product page.
Caring for your piece
- Put your jewellery on last — after perfume, hairspray, lotion and makeup.
- Keep it away from water, sweat, swimming pools and the shower.
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.
- Store each piece separately in its pouch or box, away from air and moisture, so stones do not scratch and the finish stays bright.
- Do not use jewellery cleaners, chemicals or polishing cloths meant for real gold.
With this care, your Yugavi piece will stay beautiful for many occasions. Questions? Write to care@houseofyugavi.com.
