Our Materials

We founded TAHWEN on the belief that quality and long lasting pieces do not have to come at a high price. For that reason, we meticulously search and select quality materials yet cost-effective.

 

Additionally, we strongly believe in caring for our environment. We source as much sustainable materials as we can and endeavor to reduce unnecessary wastes. Excess fabrics are repurposed, our pearls come from a sustainable pearl farm and we use packaging made from 100% recycled materials that are either recyclable, reusable, or biodegradable. 

​

Our Pearli Jewelry line offers a range of 14K, 18K, 24K gold-filled and .925 sterling silver high quality pieces that are made to be long lasting.​​

Silk Satin, Polyester, & Cotton

Don't confuse satin as a fabric type! Satin is a form of weave that creates a soft, shiny fabric that is lustrous with a dull surface on the other side. In order for a fabric to be labeled as "satin", it must be made of long fibers usually from polyester, nylon, rayon, or silk that is woven together.

 

Silk Satin, used in our signature GODDESS collection is lightweight making it well-suited for a scrunchie to protect your delicate hair. No more breakages or split ends! They are the perfect go-to hair accessory to any event! Satin overall is best showcased during formal occasions especially at evening events where they can shine.

​

Polyester fabric is a lightweight and soft material that provides breathability. Wear our scrunchies in style and comfort that wicks moisture away. Perfect for outdoors.

​

Cotton is hypoallergenic and helps control moisture while providing comfort and durability. Cotton is a naturally absorbent fabric and unlike synthetic products, cotton helps you dry naturally. Cotton can help absorb excess water from your hair after shower for a quick on the go hair fix.

Hand wash and air dry only.

Jewelry

Gold-filled jewelry lasts longer compared to gold-plated due to the thickness of the outer shell. In addition, the process of bonding the gold to the outer layer of the base metal is far more durable for gold-filled than gold plating. 

​​

Differences

​

  • Gold-Plating process consist of the item dipped into a solution that contains gold or more often gold-colored alloy and zapped with electric current to form an electrochemical reaction that deposits a very thin layer of gold onto the base metal. 

​​

  • Gold-Filled jewelry is made by bonding gold to the core using extreme pressure and heat resulting in a stronger exterior that is not prone to cracking.
