What Makes Jewellery ‘Fine’? A Quick Guide to Materials, Craftsmanship & Value

Ever wondered what separates fine jewellery from the rest? In this post, we break down the key elements—precious metals, natural gemstones, expert craftsmanship, and timeless design. Learn how to identify...

Not all sparkle is created equal.

You’ve probably heard the term fine jewellery, but what actually sets it apart from fashion jewellery or demi-fine pieces? Is it the price tag? The weight? The shine?

Let’s break it down—so you know exactly what you’re investing in when you choose timeless luxury jewellery from DOLA.


1. The Materials: Precious, Rare, and Resilient

At the core of fine jewellery is what it's made of. Fine jewellery uses solid precious metals like 18k or 14k gold, platinum, and sterling silver—not plated or filled alternatives.

The stones matter too. Think natural diamonds, precious gemstones like sapphires and emeralds, or high-quality semi-precious stones. At DOLA, we only use materials that are both beautiful and built to last, ensuring every piece becomes an heirloom—not just an accessory.


2. The Craftsmanship: Every Detail, Intentional

Fine jewellery isn’t just made—it’s crafted. It takes time, skill, and artistry.

At DOLA, our pieces are made by seasoned artisans who obsess over detail. Every curve, setting, and polish is handled with precision, because we believe beauty is in the finishing. Whether it’s a custom bangle from our Ọkan line or a signature piece from Oríkì, what you’re wearing isn’t just jewellery—it’s a work of art.


3. The Value: Designed to Outlast Trends

Fashion fades. Fine jewellery holds its value—financially, emotionally, and culturally.

Because we use quality materials and expert craftsmanship, our pieces aren’t just for now—they’re for always. That’s what makes DOLA different. We’re not chasing trends; we’re building legacy.

You’ll feel it in the weight of a DOLA ring. You’ll see it in the clarity of each stone. You’ll know it when you wear it—and when you pass it on.
