Meet Reya950 - the Purer, Rarer Silver.
You love sterling. Reya950 is its evolution.
Most silver jewellery you've worn in your life has been sterling — an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. It's the standard. It's functional.
Reya950 is what happens when we ask: what if we kept everything silver does beautifully, and systematically fixed everything it doesn't?
Reya950 is 95% pure silver — higher than sterling, alloyed with germanium instead of copper. That single substitution changes nearly everything about how the metal behaves on your body and over time.
Reya950 is built on the belief that if you're wearing something everyday, it should be the best available version of that material.
The Rarer Chemistry - what germanium actually does
The copper in standard sterling silver reacts with oxygen and sulphur in the air — that reaction is tarnish. It's chemistry.
Germanium, the element that replaces copper in Reya950, is a metalloid with a different relationship to oxygen. It creates a thin, stable germanium oxide layer on the surface of the metal — one that is essentially invisible, self-repairing, and acts as a protective barrier.
The result is a metal that resists tarnish naturally, without coatings or platings that wear off. It also has a higher melting point than sterling, which means it holds fine detail exceptionally well — important when you're crafting charms with intricate, concept-driven geometry.
How Reya950 is worked into your charm
Working with Reya950 requires a different approach than sterling. It responds better to specific techniques — lower flux temperatures, particular quenching methods — and rewards the jeweller who understands its character.
01 Alloy sourcing
Reya950 ingots are sourced from certified suppliers. The alloy composition — 95% silver, germanium, trace elements — is standardised and verified.
02 Forming the charm geometry
Each charm concept begins as a precise form. Reya950's higher melting point allows for sharper definition and cleaner edges in small-scale casting and fabrication.
03 Germanium oxide hardening
Post-fabrication, the piece is heat-treated in a controlled process that encourages the germanium oxide layer to form uniformly — hardening the surface and beginning its tarnish resistance.
04 Finishing to a mirror
Because Reya950 holds a high polish exceptionally well, each charm is hand-finished to the bright, cool-toned silver Reya is known for — and stays that way.
Why this matters for how you actually wear jewellery
Reya950's real value isn't in laboratory data — it's in the quality of relationship you get to have with a piece of jewellery you love. You stop managing it and start wearing it. The brightness you fell in love with when you first opened the box is closer to the brightness it still holds a year later.
This is what "Rare You" means in material terms: a piece made from something uncommon enough to take care of something you shouldn't have to think about — so you can just be you, wearing it.
Micro-charm jewellery in particular benefits from this. The small, intricate surfaces that make a charm readable and meaningful — the details hold their precision and their shine in Reya950 in a way that can sustain its pure character over daily wear.
