Victoria Cruz jewellery: fascinating colours and original shapes
Buy silver jewellery from Victoria Cruz online at uhrcenter
The Victoria Cruz jewellery brand is one of the most sought after in Spain. For the founding couple, the development into such a popular jewellery label was initially difficult to foresee. But when Victoria and Luís Mínguez Alcalá began selling gemstones, minerals and jewellery in the 1980s at a stand near the beach promenade in Puerto de la Cruz on Tenerife, they – unknowingly at the time – laid the foundation for the ongoing success story of Victoria Cruz jewellery.
Victoria Cruz jewellery: the story of a family and its great passion
The story of Victoria Cruz began with a lived passion: the passion for high-quality jewellery. During their time in Tenerife, Victoria and Luís Mínguez Alcalá were not only connected by their strong love for each other. Their love for exceptionally beautiful jewellery was similarly strong. However, increasing difficulties in obtaining permission to sell jewellery on the street eventually led the two to leave Tenerife for Valencia. Back in Luís' hometown, he started importing silver from Mexico and also made important contacts with jewellery suppliers in Italy. However, Victoria Cruz's rise to a sought-after jewellery brand only really took off when the spark of passion for fine jewellery spread to her son Alexis.
Victoria Cruz jewellery: towards new horizons
With the entry of Alexis Mínguez Alcalá into his parents' business, the label was to get its current name and clear profile, and as a brand Victoria Cruz jewellery was to reach a completely new level of recognition. Alexis had a vision right from the start: to give the “silver jewellery with glittering crystals”, that many people already appreciated, its own, unique name. By attending relevant jewellery trade fairs at home and abroad, Victoria Cruz's popularity continued to increase and a constantly growing network of sales outlets emerged. Another milestone for Victoria Cruz in 2019 was the opening of the first flagship store in Valencia. Under Alexis' leadership, Victoria Cruz developed into a jewellery brand that was renowned far beyond Spain's borders. Alexis authentically continues to tell the story of Victoria Cruz to this day: Victoria Cruz as jewellery from real jewellery lovers – for real jewellery lovers.
The characteristics of Victoria Cruz jewellery: sterling silver and sparkling crystals
The main feature of Victoria Cruz's jewellery is the consistent use of high-quality sterling silver. 925 silver is known for its durability and timeless beauty. The number indicates the purity of the precious metal and means that Victoria Cruz jewellery consists of 92.5% silver. Sterling silver 925 is easy to process and can still be easily formed into a permanently solid shape. Accordingly, the partly gold-plated silver jewellery from Victoria Cruz not only impresses with its shiny look, but is also very durable. Fans of Victoria Cruz silver jewellery are impressed by the durability, quality and high wearing comfort of the pieces. The second characteristic feature of Victoria Cruz are multi-coloured crystals. The glittering glass and jewellery stones are the visual icing on the cake on numerous pieces. They also enable the colour of the jewellery to be fine-tuned in conjunction with clothing and individual type.

FAQs about Victoria Cruz jewellery
1. Why is Victoria Cruz jewellery made of sterling silver?
Sterling silver is harder than pure silver and therefore less sensitive to external influences. It is preferred not only for Victoria Cruz silver jewellery, but throughout the jewellery industry. The name refers to the coin material of the early English silver pennies, the so-called sterlings. Sterling silver has a fineness of 925/1,000 parts silver, so the alloy contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, mostly copper. That's why sterling silver is often also referred to as 925 silver. If you buy silver jewellery online in the uhrcenter shop, a corresponding hallmark on the piece of jewellery will provide you with information about its fineness.
2. Is there also gold-plated or gold jewellery available from Victoria Cruz?
Victoria Cruz's silver jewellery is often dazzlingly plated with a thin layer of 18-carat gold. Refined textures on the surface of numerous pieces of jewellery enhance their visual impact, as do their sometimes extremely original, naturally flowing shapes. As special, seductively sparkling eye-catchers, Victoria Cruz jewellery uses freshwater cultured pearls and different stones and crystals.
3. How can I properly care for Victoria Cruz silver jewellery?
Silver jewellery can change colour over time. This is not evidence of inferior quality, but absolutely normal. In order to prevent the so-called tarnishing of silver jewellery, you should also store your new jewellery from Victoria Cruz appropriately and care for it regularly. To ensure that your favourites keep their shine as long and as untarnished as possible, here are a few essential tips:
- Avoid storing silver jewellery in places with high humidity and strong light, such as the bathroom or kitchen. Dark and dry places are best for storage. A jewellery box or jewel case with softly lined compartments is ideal
- Also make sure that your jewellery does not come into contact with cosmetics such as body lotions or perfumes, as these can cause tarnishing. As a precautionary measure, always put on your silver jewellery only after making up and styling
- It is best to clean your jewellery at the first sign of discolouration. The less silver sulphide you have to remove, the gentler the cleaning is on the metal. As a rule, regular gentle polishing with a silver care cloth or an occasional silver care bath is sufficient
