WHY DID THE WHITE GOLD RING BECOME YELLOW?
Gold is a precious metal found in nature in yellow. With technological processing, we obtain a white tone of gold, which is basically still a yellow metal. For white, we add other metals such as silver, zinc, palladium and platinum. In Zlatarna Celje, a palladium and then a rhodium bath are added to reinforce the white color of gold. These are micron coatings on the surface of jewelry to protect against external influences or to prevent contact of metal with factors that could affect its change (moisture from the air, skin pH, etc.). Jewelry, especially rings and bracelets that are exposed to mechanical contact with harder objects, are more susceptible to rhodium protection wear, and a yellow undertone of white gold eventually appears there. Rhodium coating can be renewed in the service of Zlatarna Celje. A list of all branches where you can hand over the product for service can be found on our website.
WHY DID THE SILVER NECKLACE DARKEN?
Silver is characterized by oxidizing and therefore darkening. Rhodium coating is extremely important for protection against the effects of skin and air. All Lencia silver jewelry is rhodium-plated. However, the application of rhodium wears out in contact with other objects, so silver is exposed to environmental influences and oxidizes, darkens. Rhodium coating can be renewed in the service of Zlatarna Celje. A list of all branches where you can hand over the product for service can be found on our website.
I BUYED A LENCIA SILVER COLLAR, WHICH IS GILDED. I WONDER IF THE COLOR WILL WEAR OUT?
Gilding is the surface treatment of jewelry, namely the application of additional material to the base, in this case silver. Like other surface treatments, it is sensitive to all mechanical damage. Rings and bracelets are especially sensitive. We must be aware that gilding is not eternal and that over time there is wear and/or crumbling, peeling. As these are micron coatings, the color may fade, and thicker coatings may peel off. Because this type of treatment is superficial, its durability is also limited. It can only be protected by removing and storing jewelry when it would be more exposed to mechanical contact with harder objects. The gilding can be restored in the service of Zlatarna Celje. A list of all branches where you can hand over the product for service can be found on our website.
CAN YOU MAKE A RING IN ZLATARNA CELJE ACCORDING TO MY IDEAS?

Rings with diamonds larger than 0.33 ct. do not have a fixed price, as they are made according to an individual order, and the exact price depends on the desired size of the diamond (e.g.: 0.4 ct., 0.5 ct., 0.75 ct., 1.0 ct., etc.), purity (e.g.: VVS, VS, SI, etc.) and diamond colors (e.g.: G, H, etc.), so they are subject to informative or indicative prices.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES YOU USE THE WORD DIAMANT AND SOMETIMES BRILLIANT. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
When we talk about a diamond, we mean the mineral, meanwhile brilliant is just the name of a round grindstone. The term brilliant can therefore be used for round diamonds that are cut to 58 surfaces (in goldsmith jargon we call them facets), have one table (upper surface of the diamond), 32 facets on the crown, 24 facets on the pavilion, and sometimes have one culet (slightly cut off tip of the pavilion). Diamonds are ground in many other grinders of various shapes, such as e.g. swiss grinding, english grinding, navetta, oval, princess grinding, etc. The value of a diamond depends on the grinder’s performance in matching weight and optical efficiency. The certificate of Zlatarna Celje, which confirms the authenticity of the jewel, always indicates whether it is a diamond with a brilliant grinding, i.e. a brilliant, or a diamond with another grinding.
I HAVE SEEN AN OFFER OF EMERALD JEWELERY IN YOUR STORE. I AM INTERESTED IN HOW IT IS POSSIBLE THAT EMERALDS ARE OF DIFFERENT COLORS, WITH VEINS, SOME OF OPAQUE COLORS, BUT SO EXPENSIVE?
Emeralds are precious stones that are given color by mixing chromium, sometimes also vanadium. This is a natural process that cannot be influenced, so very different shades can be created. The most desirable color is intense green, which is also the most valuable. Even with inserts, intense green emeralds reach a higher price than pale green with fewer insterts. Almost all emeralds have inserts / veins, which is not considered a mistake, but serves as proof that the stone is natural. According to them, we also distinguish real emeralds from fakes.
I AM WONDERING IF YOU HAVE A LENCIA WATCH IN STOCK. I WOULD LIKE TO ORDER THIS BRACELET. IS IT IN STOCK?
