Our Materials
Designed to Be Worn
Every piece in the Uncommon James collection is made to be worn, layered, stacked, and lived in. Here's what goes into each one.
Gold Dipped
Our signature gold finish starts with a brass base and is dipped in high-purity 24K gold, refined to achieve the warm, balanced hue of classic 14K jewelry. The result is the rich gold color you know and love from Uncommon James, designed for everyday styling.
18K Gold Vermeil
Our Vermeil is crafted with 18K gold over a sterling silver base, sitting in the demi-fine category as more precious than gold-plated brass, and more accessible than solid gold. We apply 2.5 microns of 18K gold over 925 sterling silver, which is above the industry minimum and the same standard used by fine jewelry brands. Vermeil is the best choice for sensitive skin, both sterling silver and 18K gold are hypoallergenic metals.
Sterling Silver
Our sterling silver pieces are crafted from rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, 92.5% pure silver with copper added for durability. The rhodium finish protects against tarnishing and resists scratching. Sterling silver is hypoallergenic and a timeless choice for those who prefer a cooler metal or have sensitivities to base metals.
Palladium
Our silver-tone jewelry starts with a brass base and is finished with palladium, a naturally white precious metal prized for its bright, luminous appearance. The result is a polished silver tone designed to complement our gold collection beautifully.
Stones & Accents
From genuine stones to high-grade cubic zirconia and resin accents, each element is selected to complement the design. Our cubic zirconia is chosen for its clarity and brilliance, while genuine stones feature natural variations in color and pattern, making every piece uniquely its own. The specific stone or accent used in each piece is identified on the individual product page.
Stainless Steel
Selected for its strength and durability, stainless steel is used throughout our Men’s collection for pieces designed to stand up to everyday wear. Naturally resistant to tarnishing and corrosion, it offers a substantial feel with a clean, polished finish. Select styles are finished in gold while maintaining the durability of a stainless steel base.

Does Uncommon James jewelry tarnish?
