Metal Colorways

MPR Jewelry is made from nylon-coated stainless steel cable and a mix of gemstones finished with 14k gold fill and sterling or argentium silver. 

We hand fabricate in 14k gold fill for our ear hooks and details- it is tarnish and wear-resistant so no need to polish or re-plate like costume jewelry! We use argentium and sterling silver for our silver ear hooks and details- less tarnishing and hypoallergenic!

Our clasps are neodyminium rare earth magnet super strong clasps set in sterling silver or 14k gold fill. Each necklace is then finished with crystal clear quartz rondelles at the clasp to help pull magnet apart.

 

 

The cable is a soft, woven stainless steel cable that is woven from 49 microscopic strands of steel wire and then coated with 24k yellow gold, sterling silver, gunmetal, rose gold, or black and bronze coatings and then finished with a protective layer of nylon. This makes the cable super strong and pliable and we're able to form structures that can be squished but bounce back and have memory. The pieces end up being uber lightweight as well as collapsible for travel.

 
And we love mixing the cable with fine metals like 14k gold fill, argentium, and sterling silver. This makes the jewelry fine and hypoallergenic.
Argentium is a tarnish-resistant alloy of sterling silver that is easy to care for which mean less polishing!
14k gold fill is bonded 14k gold to base metal that is 20 times thicker and more durable than plated metal. It's fabulous to wear because you don't need to worry about polishing it, just cleaning your ear hooks with alchohol wipes for cleanliness.
 
We also play with color and create multi-tone colorways of mixed metal cables to create visual depth. Favorites include Gold and Silver Two-Tone Cable mixed with Gold and Silver hardware. The fine, light sterling silver cable is bright, unoxidized white that plays beautifully with dark clothing and is easy to care for as the nylon coating protects the silver cable from oxidation or oils rendering the color a super bright silver.
