HOW IS THE JEWELRY MADE?

FALLON produces in multiple factories using only 3A and 4A cubic zirconia stones in non alloy metals like brass, stainless steel or sterling. And CZ under 3A produces a "rainbow" effect and is less of a diamond look. We don't use nickel, cadmium or lead. Our founder is highly allergic to anything but fine jewelry or very specific fashion jewelry materials, so if she cannot wear it, we don't sell it. Made in factories that also produce fine jewelry by artisans that know what a luxury finished piece should look and function like, you can mix with any luxury pieces with confidence.

WHY 18K AND NOT 14K?

After being in the luxury market and fashion industry for many years we have learned that clients want to mix their gold with the highest end brands such as Cartier, Bvlgari and Van Cleef and Arpels. We strive to stay away from gold tones that are too yellow and seek a look that can be mixed with fine jewelry in clients wardrobes. For us, 18k is the best option.

HOW DO I KNOW MY JEWELRY WILL LAST?

FALLON has worked for over 15 years perfecting its manufacturing processes to offer the best quality materials that last the test of time, function for daily use, and offer a 1 year guarantee on all pieces. If the reason for damage is our fault, we will let you pick something else out, or offer a store code credit for future use. 

We have begun incorporating a PVD vacuum plating process to our best sellers. This adds a plating that uses less microns but is diamond hard and impenetrable and adds years to piece of jewelry as it adds a scratch, fade and tarnish free quality. Vacuum plating is an atomic process that also eliminates toxic chemical dip plating and prevents the potential of runoff into the environment. This is slow very detailed as a practice, because vacuum plating requires specific stones and materials to be used to be effective. It requires the hardest stones and cannot be used with softer metals and porous materials. Our 3A and 4A CZ is perfect for this process. Vacuum plating on stainless steel or brass (with a layer of chrome added first) is the only way you can believe a "waterproof" guarantee.

On pieces that cannot be vacuum plated, we use the standard electroplating process. For gold we use 2.5 microns of 18k gold. On rhodium (silver) pieces we use 1.5 microns of rhodium plating as rhodium is part of the platinum family, has a great tone, and doesn't tarnish like sterling. If a brand tells you they plate in anything over 1.5 microns of rhodium, you run the risk of chipping as rhodium gets brittle over this level.

Our electroplated styles incorporate 2.5 microns of gold, which is the highest industry recommended standard.

Our vacuum plated styles use the highest level based on the intricacy of the style, but PVD uses less gold but with a diamond hard application process..

It is our recommendation when buying any fashion jewelry or demi fine from any brand you expect to last years, you look for 2.5 microns electroplated over brass, sterling or stainless or you select vacuum plated over brass or stainless for 10x the durability. You can find our PVD STYLES on our "FINISH" menu.

No jewelry, regardless of material or finish, likes fragrances, oils or lotions.
