14K GOLD

Our 14k yellow and white gold jewelry is thoughtfully crafted for everyday durability. We chose 14k gold for its superior strength compared to 18k and 22k, making each piece ready to go wherever life takes you. Our 14k white gold pieces are finished in rhodium plating, which gives them extra shine and durability.

Each piece in our 14k collection is made with 94% recycled gold and 6% newly mined gold. By blending recycled and responsibly sourced gold, we reduce our environmental footprint while supporting local communities that rely on mining.

In order to get a perfectly balanced gold tone, we use an intentional mix of alloys that achieves the ideal color perfect for every skin tone, all while maintaining the strength and quality of the metal.

10k GOLD

Our 10K gold contains 41.7% pure gold, with the remaining 58.3% made up with an intentional mix of other metals such as copper, silver, and zinc. With a more muted tone than higher karat golds, 10K offers a subtle, timeless look. Its lower pure gold content also makes it a more accessible option without compromising on long-lasting quality.

All of our gold is crafted from 94% recycled materials, helping to reduce environmental impact and support responsible, circular sourcing.

925 STERLING SILVER

Our 925 Sterling Silver meets the industry standard of 92.5% pure silver—crafted with care and consistency across our entire assortment. To ensure lasting strength and durability, we intentionally blend in 7.5% copper.

Each piece is thoughtfully made using 95% recycled silver and only 5% newly mined, minimizing environmental impact without compromising on quality. While others may overlook recycled materials, we remain committed to sustainability and timeless craftsmanship.

18K GOLD VERMEIL

Our vermeil is crafted with a thick layer of solid gold over sterling silver—never brass—for long-lasting, hypoallergenic pieces that are safe for sensitive skin.

Unlike typical gold-plated jewelry, our vermeil exceeds industry standards with a 2.5-micron layer of gold (compared to the industry’s 0.5-micron minimum). Designed to mirror the warm, rich tone of 14K gold, each piece offers both beauty and durability.

TITANIUM

Titanium is prized for its lightweight strength and versatility. LeMing offers both piercing-grade titanium pieces and other jewelry crafted to deliver exceptional durability and quality.

Our flat back studs and piercing styles are made from implant-grade titanium—prized for its hypoallergenic properties and corrosion resistance. Lightweight with a smooth finish, it minimizes irritation and supports faster healing, making it ideal for long-term wear. The flat back design enhances comfort, reduces pressure, and ensures a secure fit. In short, your ears will love titanium.

PLATINUM

Platinum is a rare, naturally occurring metal known for its superior density, surpassing white gold and silver. Its exceptional durability, radiant shine, and distinctive silver-white hue make it a classic choice.

All of our platinum products are made from 100% recycled materials, consisting of an intentional mix of 95% platinum and 5% cobalt, ensuring sustainability without compromising quality.
