At Choden La, we choose materials with care, meaning, and lasting quality.
Our gemstones are 100% authentic and sourced from trusted gemstone suppliers from different countries. Each stone carries its own natural beauty, making every piece feel unique and soulful.
Our silver jewelry is made with 925 sterling silver, a durable, versatile, and easy-to-care-for metal. It is also nickel-free, making it a thoughtful choice for everyday wear.
Our newer collections feature 18K gold vermeil, made with a solid 925 sterling silver base and coated with a thick layer of 18-karat gold. We use 2 microns of gold plating, which is considered a high-quality standard and lasts much longer than regular gold plating.
Designed to be timeless, meaningful, and made for everyday elegance.
Our jewelry is made with 925 sterling silver, which means it contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals for added strength and durability. Pure silver is naturally soft, so sterling silver is used to make jewelry more suitable for everyday wear. Our sterling silver is also nickel-free.
Over time, sterling silver may naturally darken or become dirty due to body heat, moisture, air, skin oils, dust, and different environments. This is a normal reaction of sterling silver and can be easily cared for.
To clean your jewelry, gently polish it with the cleaning cloth provided with your order. These polishing cloths can last for more than a year. Do not wash the cloth, as washing can remove the polishing treatment. After each use, store it safely so you can reuse it whenever needed.
Some of our silver jewelry is intentionally oxidized. Oxidization is a finishing technique that darkens certain areas of the silver to bring out the details, depth, and character of the design. It gives the piece an antique, soulful, and handcrafted look.
Please do not submerge your jewelry in silver cleaning chemicals, as this can remove the oxidized finish and affect the look of the design.
We recommend removing your jewelry before swimming, bathing, showering, exercising, or applying perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals. Store your pieces in a dry place when not in use.
