Precious metals

Our pieces are made of precious metals like gold and silver. These metals resist corrosion and tarnishing because they have low reactivity, with gold boasting an oxidation potential of only 1.42 volts compared to base metals like iron at 4.44 volts. These metals are also denser, with gold weighing 19.3 g/cm³ and silver 10.5 g/cm³, lending an unmatched heft and durability to jewelry that base metals like aluminum (2.7 g/cm³) cannot achieve. Also, precious metals are hypoallergenic; gold and platinum are non-irritating, making them ideal for sensitive skin. Whereas allergies caused by base metals, such as nickel, are affecting almost 17% of the population.

 Ethically recycled

1 gram of mined gold uses 33x more energy than 1 gram of recycled gold. Because of the devastating effects of mining on the environment and indigenous communities, illi uses recycled, ethical, and 100% circular precious metals. When you own illi, you are loving Earth. Your impact is positive and forward: 1 gram of recycled gold in your illi piece has preserved 684 liters of water and saved the environment from 36kg of CO₂.

Sustainable packaging

illi packaging is made from recycled and recyclable paper. Every illi box reduces CO₂ emissions by 20% by preventing the incineration of its equivalent amount in paper.
