Real values

Real values ​​for real memories

A keepsake is not a trendy product. It carries meaning, history, and emotion.

That's why we use at monamor exclusively high-quality materials – no cheap alloys, no short-lived mass-produced goods.

Silver and gold possess a real market value, traded daily on international commodity exchanges. We turn wishes into lasting memories with incomparable pieces of jewelry.

Our materials

Four materials – one claim: genuine substance

Silver and gold possess intrinsic precious metal value. This ensures that the value of your jewelry is preserved not only emotionally, but also materially.

Our standard

925 Sterling Silver

925

Our standard for timeless elegance.

925 sterling silver consists of 92,5% pure silver – complemented by a stable alloy for optimal durability. Even with fingerprints, handwriting, or detailed engravings, fine lines remain clear and permanently visible.

  • durable and solidly constructed
  • Perfect for deep, precise engravings
  • kind to the skin
  • professionally reworkable
  • real precious metal value
Hallmark “925”: This hallmark confirms the precious metal content and serves as proof of quality. Silver is also fully recyclable – a crucial difference compared to irreparable costume jewelry.

Highest quality

Real gold

750

For the highest standards and lasting value.

Gold is one of the most stable precious metals in the world. We process 417 Gold (10K), 585 Gold (14K) and 750 Gold (18K) – our standard for gilding.

  • does not start
  • extreme longevity
  • highest skin compatibility
  • Intergenerational value
  • Lasting, elegant color brilliance
417 · 585 · 750: Each hallmark guarantees a certain gold content. Gold is not just jewelry – it is substance.

Stability meets gold look

Gold-plated & rose gold-plated silver

750on 925

Stability and a warm, precious metal look combined.

925 sterling silver serves as a solid base; the surface is finished with high-quality... genuine 750 gold (18K) or rose gold refined. At its core, the piece remains a fully-fledged precious metal product – not zinc or brass with a thin electroplating.

  • solid silver core
  • elegant gold look
  • Significantly more durable than costume jewelry coatings
  • Ideal for high demands at a fair price
Why use 18K gold for plating? Higher abrasion and scratch resistance than thinner gold plating. Durability depends on the layer thickness and substrate quality – a high-quality silver core ensures better adhesion.

technical security

Stainless steel in urn decoration

INOX

For selected urn jewelry.

Urn ornaments contain cavities that must remain permanently sealed and stable. Stainless steel offers high structural stability, corrosion resistance, and reliable sealing technology in this regard.

  • high structural stability
  • corrosion resistance
  • reliable locking technology
  • coated with real silver or gold
Not cost savings, but security: The visible surfaces are additionally coated with real silver or gold, so that the appearance and value are preserved.

The clear difference

The difference to cheap costume jewelry

Memorial jewelry should not be a disposable product. The difference lies not in the photo – but in the material.

Cheap costume jewelry

Often consists of…

  • Zinc alloys
  • brass
  • nickel-containing metals
  • extremely thin coatings

…and that means

  • stains the skin
  • It quickly loses its surface
  • makes engravings appear messy
  • is not intended to last for decades

monamor real jewelry

We are focusing on…

  • solid 925 sterling silver
  • genuine gold (417 / 585 / 750)
  • high-quality stainless steel for urn jewelry
  • genuine finishing instead of thin electroplating

… so that your piece

  • It is worn in a skin-friendly manner
  • permanently retains its surface
  • Clearly depicts fine engravings
  • has lasted for decades

01

Real materials → real value

  • Fashion jewelry uses alloys without precious metal value.
  • Our necklace is made of solid 925 sterling silver (approx. €1,95/g real market price).

02

Production depth & engraving quality

  • Cheap manufacturers use flat, fast engraving.
  • With us, every engraving is precise, deep and durable – though more expensive in production and rework.

03

Stability & Repairability

  • Costume jewelry is short-lived and cannot be repaired.
  • Silver is durable, can be professionally refinished, and lasts for decades.

04

Quality control, packaging & service

  • High-quality final inspection, secure packaging and customer service are part of the offer.
  • This costs time and money – but improves experience and trust.
