MY DESIGN INSPIRATION
WHAT IS DEMI-FINE JEWELLERY?
Demi-fine jewellery is a category that bridges the gap between affordable fashion/costume jewellery and expensive fine jewellery. It offers the look, quality, and feel of luxury pieces but at a more accessible price point.
Core Characteristics
-
The Materials: It uses high-quality base metals, most commonly 925 sterling silver or surgical-grade stainless steel.
-
The Coating: Pieces are typically coated/ mechanically bonded with a thick layer of 14k-18k gold (often referred to as gold-filled / gold vermeil) or rhodium for a premium finish.
-
The Gemstones: Apart from rubies, sapphires, real diamonds, or jade, it usually features semi-precious stones (like topaz, garnet, amethyst, and labradorite) or high-quality simulants like cubic zirconia and lab-grown crystals.
-
Durability: Unlike cheap costume jewellery that quickly turns green, demi-fine pieces are largely hypoallergenic, tarnish-resistant, and designed to last for years with proper care.
QUALITY WIRE WE USE
Our jewellery wires are fused with a 14k-16k gold-filled layer, using gold-fused technology—more commonly referred to in the industry as gold-filled, rolled gold, or gold-bonded technology.
This mechanical manufacturing process where a thick sheet of real karat gold is permanently bonded to a base metal core (usually silver, brass or copper core) using extreme heat and pressure.
Yes, gold-fused jewelry is highly long-lasting, especially when compared to standard gold-electroplating (also known as gold-plating). Because the gold is physically melted and compressed onto the base metal rather than lightly deposited via an electrical bath, the layer is incredibly thick and will not flake, peel, or turn your skin green.
LAB-GROWN GEMSTONES
We may have a limited series of lab-grown gemstones in earrings or pendants available for sale.
Why did we choose this for our jewellery? Lab-grown gemstones are just as high quality as natural gemstones. They have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties.
Explanation
-
Process: Lab-grown gemstones are made in a lab using the same heat and pressure as natural gemstones, but in a fraction of the time.
-
Composition: Lab-grown gemstones are made from the same mineral crystals as natural gemstones.
-
Appearance: Lab-grown gemstones can look identical to natural gemstones.
-
Inclusions: Lab-grown gemstones usually have fewer inclusions than natural gemstones because they are made in a controlled process.
-
Cost: Lab-grown gemstones are less expensive than natural gemstones because they are faster and cheaper to make.
-
Availability: Lab-grown gemstones are more readily available than natural gemstones. Lab-grown gemstones are also known as synthetic, artificial, or man-made. They are ideal for daily wear and long-term use in jewelry.
WHAT IS WIREN WOVEN JEWELLERY
Wire woven jewellery is a unique form of wearable art, handcrafted by intricately weaving fine metal wires around gemstones or decorative elements. Unlike mass-produced jewellery that relies on casting or soldering, wire weaving is built strand by strand using carefully planned patterns, patience and precision.
Each piece begins with individual wires that are shaped, woven and secured entirely by hand. The process requires both technical skill and artistic vision, allowing the artist to transform simple lengths of wire into graceful designs inspired by nature, architecture or imagination. No two handcrafted pieces are ever exactly alike, making every creation truly one of a kind.
Wire woven jewellery is often mistaken for wire wrapping, but weaving involves creating delicate woven structures within the design itself. These intricate patterns add texture, strength and character while highlighting the natural beauty of the gemstones they embrace.
Beyond its craftsmanship, wire woven jewellery celebrates individuality. Every curve, weave and detail reflects the time, creativity and dedication invested by the artist. Rather than simply creating an accessory, wire weaving transforms metal and stone into meaningful pieces of art that can be worn, treasured and passed down for years to come. Whether admired for its artistry, uniqueness or handcrafted quality, wire woven jewellery represents the timeless beauty of traditional craftsmanship in a modern world.
At Lee Jane Art, every wire woven creation is designed and handcrafted individually by artist Lee Jane. Inspired by nature, symbolism and the beauty of handcrafted artistry, each piece is created to be more than jewellery—it is a wearable work of art.
