Materials & quality

Materials at DPT Antwerp

Our jewelry is crafted from 925 sterling silver, handset with 100% natural, certified, and ethically sourced diamonds. Every piece is finished with a coating of 18-carat yellow or rose gold, or protective white rhodium — ensuring a premium look that lasts.


Why rhodium? Rhodium is the rarest and most valuable precious metal in the world, even more so than gold or silver. It is highly reflective, resistant to corrosion, and gives your jewelry an extra layer of shine and durability. It also prevents tarnishing and is completely nickel-free, making it hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin.


Are the diamonds real? Yes. All diamonds used in DPT Antwerp jewelry are 100% natural, certified, and ethically sourced. As a brand rooted in Antwerp — the diamond capital of the world — responsible sourcing is at the heart of what we do.


What about allergies? Our jewelry is free from nickel, lead, aluminium, and other harmful metals, making it suitable for sensitive skin. If you have a specific silver allergy, we recommend contacting us before purchasing, as the sterling silver base may be exposed over time as plating gradually wears.


Will the plating fade? With proper care, your DPT jewelry will stay beautiful for a long time. Every piece comes with a cleaning cloth. Gold plating can gradually wear, but it can be reapplied — we offer one free replating as part of our service.
