Our Materials

At Whisker & Gem, every piece of fine jewelry is handcrafted to order in our Los Angeles atelier, allowing you to choose the precious metal that best suits your style. We proudly offer solid 14k gold and sterling silver as our signature materials—never plated, never filled, and always designed to last a lifetime.

For customers seeking something even more personalized, we also welcome special requests for 18k gold, including rose, yellow, and white gold. Each option is meticulously sourced from trusted suppliers who share our commitment to quality, sustainability, and ethical craftsmanship.

Our metals are selected not just for their beauty, but for their durability.

  • 14k Gold provides the perfect balance of richness and strength, making it ideal for everyday wear.

  • 18k Gold offers a deeper, more luxurious hue for those who prefer a high-karat shine.

  • Sterling Silver (.925) delivers timeless elegance and a bright, crisp finish that ages beautifully.

Because every piece is made to order, we can tailor your jewelry to your preferences—whether you want a specific finish, a custom engraving, or a metal that holds special meaning for you. This flexibility ensures your jewelry is as unique as the bond you share with your pets and loved ones.

Crafted with care. Designed to endure. Made just for you.

Mixed-Metal Duos

Whisker & Gem also offers mixed-metal duos, allowing you to blend the warmth of gold with the sleek elegance of sterling silver. This option is perfect for those who love a touch of luxury without committing to a full gold piece.

For example:

  • With our Whisker Links, you can choose to have the charm crafted in solid 14k gold while the tag remains in sterling silver, creating a beautiful contrast that highlights the personalized element of your piece.

  • For our Whisker Charms, we can create the bail in solid gold, adding a refined accent that elevates the entire look of your sterling silver pendant.

These mixed-metal combinations not only enhance visual interest but also give you more freedom to match your jewelry with the rest of your collection. Each duo is made to order, ensuring the metals complement each other perfectly and reflect your unique style.
