Creating unique handmade jewelry requires more than just materializing an idea. Charles Albert's jewelry, crafted by the finest metal smiths in Taxco, Mexico, epitomizes innovation, persistence, and refinement. Alchemía, also known as 'Zero Karat Gold,' represents an evolution in design and craftsmanship, and it is the first of its kind. The name Alchemía is derived from the Latin word for Alchemy, the ancient art of transforming base metals into gold, symbolizing perfection.

Charles Albert utilizes a special blend of base metals that mimic the look and feel of 18 karat gold. This unique metal, Alchemía, stands out for its non-tarnish and water-resistant properties, making it a revolutionary material in the jewelry industry. Every piece of Charles Albert jewelry is meticulously handmade by skilled artisans in Taxco, Mexico, ensuring the highest quality.

Alchemía features several notable attributes:

• Lead-free, nickel-free, and cadmium-free
• Water-resistant and non-tarnish
• Strong baked lacquer finish for protection, making the items hypoallergenic
• Not plated; the color is consistent throughout the piece and then lacquered

Handmade since 2011, Charles Albert's Alchemía jewelry offers a beautiful and durable alternative to traditional gold, maintaining its brilliance and quality over time.
