All About Demi-Fine Jewelry: Your Everyday Upgrade
Trends come and go, but quality is forever. That’s where our Demi-Fine collection comes in - sleek and elevated essentials designed to be worn again and again. If you love the luxe look and materials of fine jewelry but aren’t ready to splurge, or you want something longer-lasting, demi-fine is the perfect in-between.
At Olive & Piper, we’re all about helping you build a jewelry collection that makes styling effortless. Consider this your guide to demi-fine: what it is, why it’s worth investing in, and how to keep it shining bright.
What is Demi-Fine Jewelry?
Think of demi-fine as the sweet spot between fine and fashion jewelry. It’s crafted from high-quality materials, giving you a refined, polished look without the high price tag. Generally, demi-fine refers to jewelry not made with solid gold, but can refer to pieces made with sterling silver, gold vermeil, gold fill, bronze, or other metals. These pieces may be accented with semi-precious or faux gems. With demi-fine, you get the best of both worlds—pieces that feel luxe and last longer, without the fine jewelry investment. It’s more durable than fashion jewelry, and designed to complement your wardrobe for years to come.
Our demi-fine collection features chic and minimalist styles thoughtfully crafted in 18k gold vermeil, 925 sterling silver (with a layer of Rhodium for extra protection), white topaz or CZ gems, and natural freshwater pearls. It’s perfect for everyday wear—whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual.
How to Care for Demi-Fine Jewelry
The secret to keeping your demi-fine jewelry looking new? A little extra TLC. Here’s how to clean and maintain your pieces:
- Keep it dry! Exposure to liquids, water or sweat (such as through bathing, exercising, swimming, makeup, lotions, or perfumes) will speed up tarnishing and wear. Even the oils on your skin can wear down the plating and metals over time - and this will again vary from person to person. Get your jewels wet by accident? Be sure to wipe and dry them off right away!
- Use a soft dry cloth or a gentle jewelry cleaner to wipe away dirt, oils, makeup, or lotion. Skip the harsh chemicals—warm water is typically all you need.
- Store it separately from other pieces to avoid scratches.
- Try to take it off before sleeping to prevent wearing away metal layers.
- For an extra step, protect your jewelry from tarnish and wear with Tarnish-Me-Not Spray. This patented, hypoallergenic spray creates a clear barrier that helps prevent tarnishing and discoloration, while protecting skin from metal allergies and sensitivities. It helps your jewelry shine for longer! ✨
