Materials & Care

Our Materials

We use 925 sterling silver (nickel free, hypo-allergenic), 18k gold vermeil (gold over sterling silver), and 14k-18k solid gold. This includes our chains, clasps, earrings, and posts.

Our gemstones are selected one at a time to ensure quality and uniqueness. We work with small, independent dealers and never purchase in bulk.

Care & Wear

We provide ‘care cards’ with each item to help you increase the life of your jewellery. You can also review our article, Jewellery Care 101 for more tips.

All our pieces are finished to the greatest quality, however, sterling silver and vermeil jewellery will wear, tarnish, scuff, and scratch over time. These occurrences should be seen as a natural part of owning your item, giving each piece a history and uniqueness.

 

A Note About Vermeil

Vermeil (gold over sterling silver) is not a 'forever' finish. The life of a vermeil piece is dependent on your body chemistry and the activities you engage in while wearing it. To keep vermeil jewellery looking great, avoid repeated rubbing and contact with harsh solutions like pool water and detergents.

We recommend taking off all vermeil pieces when working out, washing your hands, showering, swimming, and cleaning. Exposure to cleansers, detergents, disinfectants, perfumes, and lotions, can accelerate the wear of vermeil.

Remember, gemstones and crystals are fragile too. Take caution when wearing pieces that contain stones or crystals as they may be damaged when dropped, banged, bumped, etc.
