Material focus: The art of gold craftsmanship

At Waekura, the choice of materials is never left to chance.
Every piece of jewelry we create reflects our standards: offering luminous, durable pieces that are easy to wear every day — and just as perfect for life’s special moments.

A precious glow, a promise of quality

All our jewelry is plated in 18-carat gold, with a 1-micron layer.
This type of plating — thicker and more refined than standard “flash” gold — ensures better durability over time.

The result? Our pieces keep their shine, resist water, and stay with you without compromise, day after day. ✨

Did you know? 🤫

1-micron fine gold plating, while ultra-thin, is more resistant than the “flash” gold often used in costume jewelry.

It offers better durability — as long as a few simple precautions are respected (avoid perfume, chlorine, and repeated friction).

Our pieces are made to be stacked, mixed, and worn every day, while preserving their radiant, sunlit shine. 

A word from the founder

“When I launched Waekura, I wanted jewelry I could wear every day without even thinking about it. Pieces that could stand up to life — to water, to light, to time.

Choosing fine gold plating came naturally: for its warmth, its softness, and its glow that endures.

Even today, I still wear pieces from our very first collections — and they shine just as beautifully.

That’s what I want to offer: sunlit, long-lasting jewelry that tells a story over time.”

Mélissa, Founder
