Materials & Care
All our jewellery is made using recycled metals.
We’re focused on combining contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship whilst maintaining conscious sourcing methods & production practises.
The manufacturer we’ve partnered with are technical jewellery experts, committed to delivering high-quality craftsmanship combining handcraft with state-of-the-art technology.
Our designs are turned into 3D CADS allowing us to check the design from every angle & ensure all dimensions & details are correct. The 3D CAD is printed in wax, stones are set carefully by hand & the wax mould is cast using recycled metal. Once the jewellery is cast, it is hand polished, assembled & plated before being thoroughly inspected by quality control.
Our Vermeil jewellery is made with a very thick layer (at least 2.5 microns) of 18 carat gold on a recycled 925 sterling silver base. Gold vermeil is the highest quality of plated jewellery and if cared for correctly, will be long-lasting, balancing high quality with affordable pricing.
Our silver jewellery is plated with Rhodium to provide an extra protective layer for durability. All our recycled sterling silver pieces are stamped with the 925 mark, indicating the 92.5% pure silver content.
Some of our heavier, statement pieces are made from recycled brass with a thick layer of 18 carat gold or rhodium plating. (Sometimes we need to make an impact without breaking the bank!) Our statement designs would be much more expensive in sterling silver or vermeil & it’s important to us to keep our jewellery affordable. These pieces are crafted with the same care & attention to detail as our gold vermeil & sterling silver jewellery & all our jewellery is finished with a water resistant, anti-tarnish coating to help maintain the longevity of the plating.
Caring for your jewellery
- Remove your jewellery before showering, sleeping, swimming or exercise.
- Avoid harsh chemicals like lotions, perfumes, aftershave, hand sanitizer or cleaning products while wearing your jewellery.
- Store your jewellery on its own in a soft pouch with chains fastened to avoid scratches & tangling & keep in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.
- Clean gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Polishing your jewellery regularly will help it to last & maintain its shine.
- If you need a deep clean, use a gentle liquid soap & warm water. Rinse with clean water & pat dry with a clean towel. Once dry, use a polishing cloth to gently buff your jewellery.
Concious
We’re focused on making conscious choices whenever we can. Our metals are recycled & we produce in small quantities to avoid waste and over production, re-stocking based on demand.
All our jewellery comes in a re-useable pouch to protect and store your jewellery when you’re not wearing it or when travelling.
Our jewellery boxes are made with FSC certified paper that’s ethically & sustainably sourced, with a lower impact on the environment & our cardboard mailer boxes are 100% recyclable & 100% biodegradable.
