Discover the exclusivity and class of 18-karat gold jewelry at strawberry & cream
Why choose 750 gold jewelry?
The high purity of 18-karat gold ensures that jewelry made from this precious material is easy to wear in everyday life and does not require a lot of care. It retains its radiant shine for years to come. 18-karat gold jewelry is the perfect choice if you want to wear it every day and possibly pass it down to your family at some point. 18-karat gold, also known as 750 gold, consists of 75% pure gold. The fine gold is mixed with high-quality alloy metals such as silver, copper, or palladium. The proportion of different precious metals not only gives the gold its characteristic color, making it classic yellow gold, elegant white gold, or romantic rose gold, but also makes it harder and more resistant.
We source our high-quality materials, such as gold, rose gold, and white gold, responsibly from the recycling cycle of German refineries and affiliated precious metal suppliers. We regularly return gold waste generated during the production of our jewelry to the German precious metal cycle.
Our genuine jewelry collection – as unique as you are
Every strawberry & cream creation is an exclusive one-of-a-kind piece, thanks to a combination of traditional craftsmanship, the utmost care, and great attention to detail. Each piece of jewelry is handmade to order, individually tailored to your wishes and ideas. Invest in high-quality gold jewelry, quality, and beauty that will last for generations.
Your 18-karat piece of jewelry with a special personal touch: for example, we can engrave the pendants of your original strawberry & cream family necklace, Solo necklace, or bracelet with unique, completely personal, individual engravings in one of many possible fonts or in your own handwriting. The possibilities for personalization are endless.
Our individually hand-cast and polished beads with letters, numbers, symbols, and zodiac signs in 750 yellow gold, rose gold, or white gold make our iconic s&c Classic name bracelets and s&c Letter necklace unique, personal, and very special pieces of jewelry that are sure to attract attention. To match our personalized jewelry, we also custom-make beautiful classics such as heart necklaces, link necklaces, and link bracelets to complete your look and underline your personal style.
We focus on personal consultation
No matter which piece of jewelry you choose, providing our customers with the best possible advice and support is a matter close to our hearts as jewelers. If necessary, we are also happy to alter or extend pieces of jewelry at a later date. Engravings are irreversible. If a change is necessary, we will craft a matching pendant with a new engraving and replace it on the piece of jewelry. In this case, the precious metal value of the returned pendant will be credited.
If an accident occurs and a chain breaks, we will professionally repair your high-quality jewelry. We recommend having strawberry & cream jewelry repaired by us and invisibly repaired by our craftsmen to avoid unpleasant surprises. Enlarging or reducing the size of jewelry is also part of our range of services. Life circumstances such as pregnancy, for example, cause the wrist circumference to increase and then decrease again. This means you don't have to do without your favorite jewelry during this time. We are particularly committed to lengthening or enlarging children's jewelry. This allows a birth or christening gift to grow with the child and still be worn in adulthood. We think this is better than keeping it unseen and unworn in a jewelry box.
Which color suits me?
Whether it should be 18-karat yellow, rose, or white gold depends not only on your own taste, but also significantly on your type. Yellow gold suits one person better, while another shines more in rose or white gold. This depends on skin tone, eye color, and hair color. We would be happy to find out which shade of gold is right for you and best suits your type during a consultation. Can gold tones be mixed? Basically, anything goes. The famous ring made of three shades of gold was designed over 100 years ago and has been popular ever since – with both women and men.
Caring for your jewelry
To maintain the shine of your 18-karat gold jewelry, we recommend avoiding contact with household cleaning products that contain bleach. It is also advisable to remove valuable jewelry when gardening or exercising on fitness equipment. Necklaces can become twisted and bent during the night while you sleep. To be on the safe side, we recommend removing high-quality jewelry before going to bed and only putting it back on in the morning.
Real jewelry should also be cleaned from time to time. We advise against using commercially available immersion baths and recommend gentle “washing” in a mild, natural soap solution (curd soap). Spaces between stones can be cleaned with a really (!) soft toothbrush. After cleaning, the jewelry should be rinsed with clear water and gently dried with the strawberry & cream polishing cloth for gold or a very soft microfiber cloth. If you don't feel confident cleaning your jewelry yourself, you are welcome to bring it to us for professional cleaning.
What most people don't know, but we need to talk about: Precious metals ‘wear out’. Natural friction from everyday wear causes every piece of jewelry to lose material permanently. This happens to a barely noticeable extent, but it does happen. Just think of a wedding ring that has been worn for 60 or 70 years. The engraving is no longer legible and only a narrow band remains of what was once a rather neat ring. Particularly delicate, filigree chains, rings with pendants, and clasps therefore become ‘frail with age’ after years of wear. Despite professional repairs, they may tear or break at increasingly shorter intervals and will eventually need to be replaced entirely.
The most beautiful and personal jewelry for every occasion
Whether you are looking for a special gift or want to find your own favorite piece of jewelry, our gold jewelry is an investment that simply brings the greatest joy. Experience the effect of precious, high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, which make each of our carefully crafted pieces of jewelry a small masterpiece.
Combined with names, dates, initials, symbols, and messages that mark the most important milestones in a life and tell a story of their own, they become the most beautiful and best gift. An elaborate piece of jewelry made with passion from 18-karat gold can even be passed down through generations, carrying on history and memories.
Gold price: What influences the value of 18-karat gold?
Gold has been a symbol of stability and luxury for centuries. However, the price of gold is subject to constant fluctuations, which are influenced by various factors.
What determines the current price of gold?
The price of 18-karat gold is significantly influenced by the global gold price, which is determined daily on the commodity exchanges. The most important influencing factors include:
Supply and demand: Global gold production, limited reserves of this natural resource, central bank reserves, and demand from the jewelry and technology industries play a decisive role.
Economic developments: In times of economic uncertainty, demand for gold as a safe store of value increases, which can drive up the price.
Inflation and currencies: Gold is often used as a hedge against inflation. When the value of currencies such as the euro or US dollar falls, the price of gold often rises.
Geopolitical events: Crises and political uncertainties can cause investors to invest more in gold.
