More about our materials

  • Gold Filling

    Gold-filled jewelry is created by fusing a thick layer of real gold onto a base metal using heat and pressure, creating a durable bond that contains more than 100x gold than gold-plated pieces.

    Our gold filled supplies are sourced from a supplier on the West Coast.

  • Pearl

    We use two variations of pearls in our designs:

    1. Genuine, naturally sourced cultured freshwater pearls
    2. Commercially produced freshwater pearl and biwa shell 

    Our pearls are sourced from a supplier in Oregon.

  • Dyed Jade

    Our colorful jade beads are created by color-dyeing naturally occurring jade gemstones. Jade is known for its natural durability and toughness.

    Our jade beads are sourced from a supplier in the mid-West.

  • Opal

    Our opals are lab-made semi precious stones. Opals are known for their softness and require extra gentle care when handling.

    Our opals are sourced from a supplier in California.

Care Guide

Love them well. They'll love you back. At Maria Sara, we want you to enjoy your jewelry for years to come. With the right care, your pieces will maintain their shine– ready to be worn again and again.

  • Remove jewelry before showering, working out, or swimming. While many of our pieces are tarnish-free and water-resistant, keeping them dry will help preserve their color for longer.
  • Store in a cool, dry location.
  • Avoid perfumes, lotions, or other chemicals and oils.
  • Handle with care. Always be gentle with your jewels!
