Orcha brings together its 925 sterling silver jewelry here: rings, pendants, necklaces, earrings and chains. Each piece set with a natural gemstone is unique, designed in France by Lauren, Orcha's creator, and handcrafted by trusted partner artisans in workshops in Bangkok and Jaipur.

925 sterling silver, also known as first-grade silver, contains 925 parts per thousand of pure silver. The remaining 75 parts, most often copper, give it the strength needed to hold a stone over time. It is neither silver-colored metal nor plated: the jewelry is solid silver throughout. Its soft luster complements all stone colors, and some pieces combine it with a touch of gold.

Over the collections, Lauren selects stones that are rarely found in jewelry: seraphinite and its silver feather-like reflections, scheelite, which fluoresces under ultraviolet light, azurite from the Morenci mine in Arizona, blue opal from Peru, or intense green uvarovite garnet. They are paired with major precious stones such as tourmaline, tanzanite, aquamarine, or citrine. Cut as cabochons to reveal their color and patterns, or faceted to capture the light, these gemstones are all natural. When a stone has undergone treatment, such as heating intended to reveal its color, it is systematically indicated on its product page. To learn more about their origin and quality, see our frequently asked questions about gemstones.

Metalwork, from shaping to setting, is entrusted to artisans with whom Orcha works in trust. Their expertise and the origin of the stones are presented on the our artisans and the origin of our stones page.

Silver naturally tarnishes when exposed to air: a simple wipe with a chamois cloth restores its shine. Our guide to caring for 925 silver jewelry and gemstones details the proper care for each stone. Each piece of jewelry is delivered in its Orcha box with a certificate of authenticity.
