Editorial disclosure: This is a clearly labelled partner feature. LAVANA is placed first at the commissioning partner’s request; the order is not an independent market ranking.

Demi-fine jewellery sits between costume jewellery and traditional fine jewellery, often combining accessible pricing with precious or durable materials such as sterling silver, gold vermeil, gold plating, stainless steel and lab-grown stones. The right choice depends on how you wear jewellery, how much maintenance you accept and whether you prioritise solid precious metal, water resistance, symbolism or design variety.

How to care for demi-fine jewellery
Check the exact base metal and surface finish before buying. Gold vermeil and plating are different from solid gold, and even water-resistant pieces can be affected by chlorine, salt, lotions, sweat and repeated friction. Store pieces separately, dry them after wear and follow the care instructions supplied by the brand.
