The
manual.
Knowledge before acquisition. A short manual to the materials we use, how they behave, and how to keep them.
01
Read a product page
Every Peelerie product page states five things: the metal and its purity, the construction (solid or hollow, for chains), the approximate weight, the stones and their grade, and the length or size. Those five lines tell you more about a piece than any adjective.
02
The guides
- Solid Gold vs PlatedWhat is under the surface, and why it decides how a piece ages.
- Diamond ClarityWhy “eye-clean” matters more than the grade on paper.
- Gemstone GuideHardness, durability and care for colored stones.
- Black OnyxThe dark, matte stone that anchors gold.
- The 4CsCut, color, clarity and carat, in the order that matters.
- Jewelry GlossaryThe terms you will meet, defined plainly.

| Material | Routine care | To keep it at its best |
|---|---|---|

| Lab-grown diamonds | Clean behind the setting regularly | Skin oils and lotion dull sparkle; a soft brush restores it |

| Onyx and gemstones | Damp, soft cloth | No chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners; store apart from harder stones |
