Sterling Silver

Timeless Strength

Sterling Silver, a blend of pure silver and other metals, offers both durability and elegant beauty. Its strength makes it ideal for creating jewelry that stands the test of time. To keep your silver shining, wear it often, as natural skin oils help prevent tarnish. For a deeper clean, gently scrub with a mild detergent solution, and store in airtight bags with anti-tarnish strips when not in use.

Gold Vermeil

Golden Splendour

Our Gold Vermeil pieces begin with a sterling silver base, coated with a substantial 2.5-micron layer of 14K gold. This luxurious finish ensures a brilliant hue that endures with proper care. To preserve your Gold Vermeil, remove jewelry before showering, swimming, or exercising. Clean with a lint-free cloth dipped in water with gentle liquid detergent, and avoid polishing to maintain the gold layer's integrity.

Gold Fill

Opulent Affordability

Gold Fill jewellery features a substantial 5% layer of solid gold bonded to high-quality brass or sterling silver, regulated and sourced from the USA. It offers 100 times more gold than standard gold-plated pieces, combining lasting beauty with affordability. Gold Fill is ideal for everyday wear, including showering or exercising. Maintain its shine with a mild cleaning solution, and store pieces hanging or in individual boxes to prevent dust accumulation.

Gemstones

Nature's Treasures

Our selection of precious and semi-precious stones marries captivating beauty with unique energetic properties. Sourced from world-leading suppliers who uphold the highest standards of sustainability, fair trade, and responsible manufacturing, each gem is chosen to ensure your jewellery remains a cherished part of your collection, fit for daily wear, including showering and exercising.

General Care Guide for Gemstones:

To clean gemstones, soak them in a lukewarm water and mild soap solution for 15-20 minutes. Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry with a soft cloth. Allow them to air dry completely before storing. Buff with a microfiber cloth to restore their shine, and avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or excessive heat. Store gemstones separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to protect their natural beauty and lustre.

Optimal Care for Specific Stones:

  • Opals: Known for their mesmerizing play-of-colour, opals are delicate. Avoid prolonged water exposure and extreme temperatures. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and store in a cool, dry place, separate from other jewelry.
  • Turquoise: This vibrant blue stone is porous and can absorb oils and dirt. To maintain its vivid color, avoid chemicals, water, and direct sunlight. Clean with a soft, dry cloth and store in a cool, dry spot.
  • Pearls: Prized for their lustrous surface, pearls are sensitive to chemicals and moisture. Avoid contact with perfumes, hairsprays, and cleaning agents. After wearing, wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box.

Beaded Bracelets:

Our beaded bracelets, crafted from the finest natural materials, require special care to maintain their longevity. Avoid exposing them to water, perfumes, lotions, and other chemicals, as this can weaken the elastic cord or alter the natural state of the beads. Always roll the bracelet on and off your wrist to prevent stretching or breaking the elastic. For cleaning, gently wipe the beads with mineral oil using a soft, white cloth, preserving their natural beauty and strength.

With mindful care, these nature-born treasures will continue to adorn and uplift you for years to come.

A Girls Best Friends

Prioritising sustainability, we use lab-grown diamonds for their stunning beauty and durability, unless otherwise specified.
