Frequently Asked Questions
Discover the answers to your frequently asked questions about our products and services.
The "Ice" & Materials
We deal strictly in premium metals.
- Solid Gold: For investment-grade pieces, we offer 10K, 14K, and 18K Solid Gold. These are heirloom quality and will never fade.
- 925 Sterling Silver: Our silver pieces are solid (not hollow) and often finished with thick Gold Vermeil or Rhodium for durability.
Absolutely not. We don't mess with cheap brass or copper bases that oxidize. All AUMPEX pieces are crafted on a base of Solid 925 Sterling Silver and Solid Gold. This is precious metal, hypoallergenic, and safe for all skin types. No green necks, ever.
Both are top-tier options, but they hit different:
- Moissanite: Known for having more fire and brilliance than diamonds. It passes standard thermal diamond testers and is the best choice for maximum shine at a smart price.
- Lab-Grown Diamonds: These are chemically and physically identical to mined diamonds (carbon atoms). They pass all testers (including conductivity) and hold real intrinsic value.
- Check the product description to see which stones are used in your specific piece.
Yes. All our Moissanite and Lab-Grown Diamond pieces will pass the standard thermal diamond tester used by most jewelers. You’re wearing verified ice.
"Plating" is usually a thin 0.5-micron layer that rubs off in weeks. AUMPEX Gold Vermeil is different. We use a thick 2.5-micron layer of 14K/18K gold bonded over solid silver. It’s 5x thicker than standard plating, designed to withstand daily wear and the grind.
No, Moissanite is a gemstone in its own right (Silicon Carbide). In fact, it has a higher Refractive Index (2.65) than a diamond (2.42), meaning it actually shines brighter and has more "fire" than a natural diamond. It’s not a fake; it’s an upgrade.
