Real Values

Real values for real memories

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

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

Silver and gold have a real market value that is traded daily on international commodity exchanges. We turn wishes into true memories for incomparable pieces of jewelry.

Our Materials

Four materials – one claim: true substance

Silver and gold have a real precious metal value. This means that the value of your piece of jewelry is not only emotionally, but also materially preserved.

Our Standard

925 Sterling Silver

925

Our standard for timeless elegance.

925 sterling silver consists of 92.5% pure silver – supplemented by a stable alloy for optimal durability. Especially with fingerprints, handwriting or detailed engravings, fine lines remain clear and permanently visible.

  • durable and solid workmanship
  • perfect for deep, precise engravings
  • skin-friendly
  • professionally refurbishable
  • real precious metal value
Hallmark “925”: This stamp confirms the precious metal content and serves as proof of quality. Silver is also fully refurbishable – a crucial difference to fashion jewelry that cannot be repaired.

Highest Quality

Real Gold

750

For the highest demands and lasting values.

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

  • does not tarnish
  • extreme longevity
  • highest skin compatibility
  • intergenerational value
  • permanently noble color brilliance
417 · 585 · 750: Each hallmark stands for a guaranteed fine gold content. Gold is not just jewelry – it is substance.

Stability meets gold optics

Gold-plated & Rose gold-plated silver

750on 925

Stability and warm precious metal look combined.

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

  • solid silver core
  • noble gold look
  • significantly more durable than fashion jewelry coatings
  • ideal for high demands at a fair price
Why 18K gold for gilding? Higher abrasion and scratch resistance than thinner gildings. Durability depends on layer thickness and substrate quality – a high-quality silver core ensures better adhesion.

Technical Safety

Stainless Steel in Urn Jewelry

INOX

For selected urn jewelry.

Urn jewelry contains cavities that must remain permanently sealed and stable. Stainless steel offers high structural stability, corrosion resistance, and reliable closure technology.

  • high structural stability
  • corrosion resistance
  • reliable closure technology
  • coated with real silver or gold
Not cost-saving, but safety: 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 fashion jewelry

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

Cheap fashion jewelry

Often consists of…

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

… and that means

  • rubs off on the skin
  • quickly loses its surface
  • makes engravings look messy
  • is not designed for decades

monamor Real Jewelry

We rely on …

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

… so that your piece

  • is skin-friendly to wear
  • permanently retains its surface
  • clearly displays fine engravings
  • lasts for decades

01

Real materials → real value

  • Fashion jewelry uses alloys without precious metal value.
  • Our necklace is made of solid 925 sterling silver (~€1.95/g real market price).

02

Production depth & engraving quality

  • Cheap manufacturers use shallow, quick engravings.
  • With us, every engraving is precise, deep, and durable – more expensive in manufacturing and rework.

03

Stability & repairability

  • Fashion jewelry is short-lived and not repairable.
  • Silver is durable, professionally refurbishable, and lasts for decades.

04

Quality control, packaging & service

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

Care & Value Retention

The right care for your piece of jewelry

We use the highest quality precious metals and polishes. Depending on your skin type and environment, especially 925 sterling silver can tarnish a bit. This is a normal process and cannot be prevented – despite a fine coating after finishing.

Care is free and easy to do yourself.

The simplest and best tip:

  • (very) soft microfiber cloth
  • a little toothpaste

Care & Value Retention Notice

Genuine silver can naturally tarnish over time – this is not a defect in quality, but a typical characteristic of precious metals. Regular wear, proper storage, and occasional cleaning will help maintain its shine permanently.
