Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is Demi-Fine Jewellery?

Demi-fine jewellery is a modern category that bridges the gap between fine jewellery (made with solid gold, diamonds, and other precious materials) and imitation jewellery (typically made with low-cost base metals). At Tvayi, our demi-fine pieces are crafted using sterling silver or premium-grade alloys as the base, then finished with advanced high-micron gold plating for long-lasting brilliance.

Unlike imitation jewellery, demi-fine jewellery is designed to be tarnish-resistant, durable, and suitable for everyday wear, offering the elegance of fine jewellery at an affordable price.

• Base Metal: 925 Sterling Silver or premium, skin-friendly alloys
• Plating: Thick, high-quality gold or rhodium plating with anti-tarnish coating
• Durability: Long-lasting shine with proper care and maintenance
• Style: Ideal for those who love minimal jewellery for everyday use

Whether you're looking for a daily wear necklace, minimalist earrings, or elegant bracelets, demi-fine jewellery is the smart choice for women who value both style and substance.

7. What is gold vermeil? Is it real gold?

12. Will the gold plating fade?

Our demi-fine jewellery uses high-micron gold plating that lasts much longer than regular fashion jewellery. However, all plating can fade over time with exposure. To preserve shine, follow our jewellery care tips.

13. Is your jewellery water-resistant?

While our pieces are durable, we recommend removing them before swimming, bathing, or working out. Water can reduce the shine and longevity of gold-plated jewellery.

14. Can I shower wearing your jewellery?

We advise against it. Prolonged exposure to water or soap can slowly wear down the plating. For long-lasting brilliance, take off your jewellery before entering the shower.

15. Do you provide any warranty or guarantee?

Yes, we offer a lifetime anti-tarnish warranty on selected pieces. You can also opt for our premium jewellery care service during checkout for extended protection.

Lab-Grown Diamonds & Demi-Fine Jewellery: What You Should Know

21. What are lab-grown diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds grown inside a lab instead of being mined from the earth. They're created using one of two methods: CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition), where carbon atoms build up layer by layer on a diamond seed, or HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature), which recreates the intense heat and pressure found deep underground. Chemically, physically, and optically they are identical to natural diamonds, with the same hardness, sparkle, and brilliance.

22. Are lab-grown diamonds "fake" diamonds?

No. Lab-grown diamonds are not imitations, they are real diamonds and the only real difference from mined diamonds is where they were formed, not how they look or perform. In 2018, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ruled that a diamond is a diamond regardless of whether it was grown in a lab or mined, and to the naked eye the two are virtually indistinguishable.

23. How are lab-grown diamonds different from natural diamonds, then?

The difference comes down to origin, cost, and long-term resale value, not beauty or durability.

• Origin: Natural diamonds form over billions of years deep within the earth. Lab-grown diamonds are grown in a matter of weeks in a controlled facility.
• Price: A lab-grown diamond typically costs 70 to 80 percent less than a natural diamond of the same quality.
• Resale value: Natural diamonds tend to hold resale value better, while lab-grown diamonds see steeper depreciation on the secondary market.
• Look and feel: There is no durability advantage on either side, and longevity depends more on the quality of the setting and craftsmanship than on where the stone was formed.

24. Does Tvayi use lab-grown diamonds in its jewellery?

Our demi-fine collections are built around 18k gold vermeil, 925 sterling silver, and semi-precious gemstones rather than diamonds, so the "lab-grown vs natural" debate isn't something you need to weigh with our pieces. That's part of what keeps demi-fine jewellery affordable and low-maintenance for daily wear. If you're diamond shopping separately for a fine jewellery piece, the lab-grown route is worth considering for everyday budgets, while a natural stone still makes sense if resale value or heirloom status matters to you.

25. Why is lab-grown jewellery becoming so popular?

Two big reasons: budget and ethics. Lab-grown stones let buyers get a bigger or better-quality look within the same budget, and they come without the environmental and ethical concerns tied to mining. This same "same look, smarter price" thinking is exactly why demi-fine jewellery, gold vermeil over sterling silver instead of solid gold, has grown into its own trusted category rather than being seen as a compromise.
