About KeiStone
Jewelry that celebrates YOU!
KeiStone Jewelry is an independently owned and operated jewelry brand offering handcrafted, natural gemstone pieces for everyone to celebrate their unique traits and individual beauty.
Founded by a woman with years of experience in the fine jewelry industry, KeiStone is a brand that offers carefully crafted, quality jewelry in stainless steel and sterling silver (see our metals page for more info). The focal point of each piece is a natural gemstone or handmade bead to show that just like we see gemstones as beautiful despite their natural flaws, we should view ourselves, with all of our imperfections, as beautiful. We hope that the wearer finds a personal connection with their piece and encourages them to celebrate their individuality and love their whole selves.
Adorn and express yourself with chic, original, durable jewelry pieces from KeiStone.
Currently, KeiStone pieces are handcrafted mainly in stainless steel and sterling silver. As opposed to gold and platinum, these metals allow us to control pricing without sacrificing quality.
Metals
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is an alloy of steel and chromium. As someone whose ears get itchy even with sterling silver, Kei handcrafts most pieces using surgical grade steel which is a waterproof metal considered hypoallergenic due to it being free of copper and nickel. It is highly durable, tarnish resistant, and typically has a silver sheen, but, unlike silver, it will not corrode and is rigid, so it stands the test of time well.
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a precious metal that is much softer than steel. However, the added metals make it stronger than gold which means it will hold up well to daily wear. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver and is considered hypoallergenic, though it may contain trace amounts of nickel (which could cause irritation in highly sensitive skin types).
Copper
Copper is the oldest metal found in nature that has been mined and prized since prehistoric times. The copper used in KeiStone designs is not alloyed (mixed with other metals) but is sealed with a coating to resist water and tarnish. This coating means that you won't get the green staining on your skin copper commonly causes (which is completelly harmless) until that coating wears off (usually around 3 months, depending on wear).
Brass
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc which resembles the color of gold. Some elements of a few KeiStone pieces are acquired by disassembling and repurposing old brass jewelry. Due to it containing copper, this metal also leaves a green stain on skin. However, brass elements in KeiStone pieces are sealed with a tarnish and moisture resistant coating to protect it from getting a dark patina for a few months.
