All Base metals used in the collection are solid brass.
Most of the metal color combinations in the SPHERE line are ion-plated. I-plating (ion-plating or steel plating) is the best technical plating available in the business.
Each component is plated separately and hand-polished.
Mat silver/crystal combination is wet plated with a 10 micron silver layer with a tumbled mat finish.
Shiny silver is not a sterling silver platting, but stainless plating, looking like silver.
Each component is plated separately and hand-polished.
Afterwards everything is assembled by hand.
Dyrberg/Kern use crystallized – Swarovski Crystals from the Austrian manufacturer Swarovski.
All Swarovski crystals are machine-cut with utmost precision.
The cutting technique used to create those makes the crystal stand out from any other cut
