Dorvelle is a sterling silver jewelry line made on 47th Street, New York, by the oldest standing shop in the Diamond District, since 1959, and sold online only. The house’s own designs, cast in sterling silver (925) and set with lab-grown diamonds: rings, bands, earrings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets, each in a white or yellow finish.

Sterling silver, 92.5 percent pure silver, stamped 925. White pieces are finished in rhodium, the same metal used on white gold. Yellow pieces are finished in gold vermeil, real gold over the silver.

Warm water, a drop of dish soap, a soft cloth. And whenever you want it back to the day it arrived, send it in: we re-plate by mail, the first time free, $45 after that.

Request a prepaid label, send the piece, it comes back re-plated within 5 business days of arrival. See the care guide for everyday cleaning and storage.

It means carat total weight, the combined weight of all the diamonds in the piece or pair. A single-stone piece is listed in ct. The carat figure is weight, not a measurement of diameter.
