Quality/Materials

QUALITY

We create each jewelry piece by hand with care and attention to detail. We use high quality materials from reputable resources. Any variations in color, size, or inclusions in gems or pearls are a natural part of the materials.

MATERIALS

All solid gold pieces are 14k gold. 14k is our chosen alloy because of its durability, affordability (compared to higher karat gold alloys) and its soft buttery yellow color (or soft pink color if it's rose gold). Other carats and colors of gold are available upon request. Please get in touch to inquire about availability and prices if you have a special request for any metal that you don't see listed for a given piece.

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals, usually copper. Sterling silver naturally tarnishes when exposed to air because of the metals it's alloyed with. Sterling silver is a commonly used alloy because it's more durable than pure silver. All of our silver pieces are solid sterling.

Oxidized sterling silver pieces are treated with a surface patina that may rub off in raised areas with prolonged wear. We will redo the patina for free in most cases. Almost all pieces that are plain silver can be oxidized so please get in touch if you're interested in having something oxidized that you don't see listed. A small fee may apply.
