Frequently Asked Questions

What is Eternal8?

Eternal8 is a jewelry brand that offers elegant, high-quality designs using silver and moissanite—a stunning, affordable alternative to diamonds. Our goal is to make luxury jewelry accessible without compromising on brilliance or craftsmanship.

Are these jewellery made of real silver or silver plated?​

All our jewellery are made of solid 925 BIS hallmarked sterling silver and is coated with either Rhodium or real gold. We do not use nickel in our jewellery, instead offer Vermeilcoating for the additional shine and lustre making them suitable for individuals with sensitive skin.

Why silver and not gold?

Silver is a timeless and durable metal that allows us to keep our jewelry affordable while maintaining elegance and quality. We use high-quality sterling silver that is tarnish-resistant, ensuring longevity.

What is Vermeil

At its core, vermeil is sterling silver (92.5% pure silver) that has been coated with gold.

To be considered true vermeil, the gold plating must meet specific standards:

The base metal must be sterling silver.

The gold plating must be at least 10 karats (10K) in fineness.

The gold plating must be a minimum of 2.5 microns thick.

These standards ensure a quality and long lasting product.

Why Choose Vermeil?

Affordability: Vermeil offers the luxurious appearance of gold without the high cost of solid gold.

Durability: Sterling silver provides a strong and durable base, while the gold plating adds a touch of opulence.

Hypoallergenic: Sterling silver is naturally hypoallergenic, making vermeil a good option for those with sensitive skin."

What is the difference between standard gold plating and gold vermeil jewelry?

Gold vermeil jewelry has a thick layer of gold (at least 2.5 microns) covering a sterling silver base, making it more hypoallergenic and durable. Standard gold plating is more vulnerable to wear and tarnishing because it employs thinner gold (often less than 0.5 microns) over a variety of base metals, most commonly copper and brass. Vermeil is a better, more durable choice..

What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a naturally occurring mineral, silicon carbide (SiC). However, natural moissanite is incredibly rare, so nearly all moissanite used in jewelry today is lab-created.

Lab-created moissanite is produced through a controlled process that replicates the natural formation of the mineral, resulting in gemstones that are virtually identical to their natural counterparts.

It is the worlds second hardest gemstone, ranking 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale. Diamonds rank a 10.

Moissanite has a higher refractive index than a diamond, which means it bends light more effectively. This is what causes its exceptional brilliance and fire."

What makes moissanite different from diamonds?

Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone that closely resembles a diamond in brilliance, fire, and durability. It has a higher refractive index than diamonds, meaning it sparkles even more! Plus, it’s an ethical and budget-friendly choice.

Do you offer warranty and certificate?

For moissanite that is 1 carat and above a GRA certification is offered. Certification is not offered for moissanite below 1 carat.

What is GRA?

Gemological Research America (GRA) is a leading authority in gemstone certification, offering unbiased evaluations of gemstone quality. When a piece of jewelry is GRA-certified, it means the gemstone has undergone rigorous tests to confirm its authenticity, quality, and ethical origins.

Is moissanite durable for everyday wear?

Yes! Moissanite ranks 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the hardest gemstones—second only to diamonds. It’s perfect for daily wear and won’t easily scratch or lose its brilliance over time.

Can I shower or swim with my Eternal8 jewelry?

While our jewelry is designed for durability, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to water, chlorine, and harsh chemicals to maintain its shine and longevity.
