byBiehl jewelry is made in 925 sterling silver, 14k solid gold, zirconia or 0.03 carat diamonds.
Since the jewelery is handmade and silver is a soft metal, the jewelery must be treated with care.
Each piece is sandblasted, plastered, oxidized, black rhodium plated or 14k gold plated. It is IMPORTANT to know that surface treatments such as oxidation and gold coating wear during use.
