At Wouters & Hendrix, we work exclusively with sterling silver for its quality, durability, and timeless appeal. Sterling silver is an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper, a combination that enhances strength while preserving the beauty of fine silver. Each piece is stamped with a 925 hallmark—an oval mark featuring the number 925 at its centre—as a guarantee of authenticity.

Keep your sterling silver jewellery shining year after year by following our care tips.

Our gold-plated jewellery is finished with a rich layer of 18 ct. gold, offering a warm glow and refined finish. The base metal may vary depending on the design - though it is often sterling silver - and the thickness of the gold layer—measured in microns—is adapted to suit the piece’s function and wearability:

Jewellery that experiences more friction—such as bracelets, rings, and necklaces—is given a slightly thicker gold layer to better withstand daily wear. Still, when worn and loved regularly, it is completely natural for gold-plated pieces to lose some of their glow over time.

If your jewel needs a refresh, feel free to contact us via our contact form or visit one of our boutiques to discuss regilding options.

Gold in its purest form—24 ct.—is too soft to be worn daily, which is why it’s alloyed with other metals such as silver and copper to enhance its strength and durability. This fusion of metals is called an alloy. Depending on the composition, gold can take on different hues, including yellow, white, and pink.

At Wouters & Hendrix, we work exclusively with 18 ct. gold, composed of 75% fine gold blended with silver and copper. Each piece is marked—unless it would compromise the design—with a diamond-shaped stamp bearing the number 750, certifying its purity.

Please note that the pricing of our 18 ct. gold collections is subject to change based on the fluctuation of gold and diamond market rates.

White gold is created by alloying yellow gold with one or more white metals, such as nickel, silver, or palladium. Just like yellow gold, its purity is measured in carats, with 18 ct. white gold also consisting of 75% fine gold. The exact look and feel of white gold can vary depending on the mix of metals used, making it a versatile and elegant choice.

Pink gold, sometimes called rose gold, is an alloy of 24 ct. yellow gold, copper, and silver. The high copper content gives this metal its signature warm, blush tone. Like all gold alloys, it’s strengthened to withstand daily wear, making it as practical as it is romantic. Pink gold adds a soft, poetic touch to our collections, perfectly suited to dreamy, delicate designs.
