This is the base of all our creations. 925 Sterling Silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure Silver and 7.5% Copper. We plate our Silver jewelry in Rhodium, which gives it an extra shine and durability. Rhodium is one of the costliest precious metals due to its rarity.
The optimal way to maintain its true colour is by wearing it as the oils in our skin decelerates oxidization of Sterling Silver (Note: There are exceptions where the body's sweat contain agents that accelerate oxidization). Please avoid salt water, chlorinated water (such as pools), and hot springs. If not often worn, it is best to store in a closed container, away from sunlight and air flow to preserve its beauty.
The black markings on the silver are designed with purpose. It is first electroplated black then manually shined on outer regions to render a vintage appearance. Therefore when these markings are present on newly purchased jewelry, this does not mean that the product is faulty or old.
How do you pronounce that!? We got you: Ver - May. Not to be confused with regular gold plating. Vermeil is a much thicker layer of Gold which gives the pieces their long lasting colour. For a piece to be considered Vermeil, the Gold must be a minimum of 10k and 1.5 microns whereas we use 18k Gold layered on Sterling Silver. Please avoid water, liquid containing chemicals (such as perfume, hair dye, sweat), especially sulphured water (such as hot springs), and friction against other objects. Such materials may lose its colour, and become Sterling Silver, through wears however, with proper care, they should last 3-5 years.
Freshwater Pearl
We use cultured or farmed pearls from oysters and freshwater mussels that we carefully select for our pieces. Pearls are sensitive in nature, so don’t forget to treat them with love. As they are natural, each pearl will have its unique characteristics and they will contain lines and crevices which are all normal.
Mother-of-Pearl
This is created through pearl and shell powder hence creating a shell's iridescent sheen.
All of our gemstones are genuine mineral stones that are highly valued for their beauty, longevity, and rarity. We use an array of precious and semi-precious stones, from Sapphires to Citrine. These are either in forms of cabochon stones, which are cut like smooth domes, or faceted stones, which are the flat faces on geometric shapes.
Crystal and Crystal Pearl
Swarovski crystal has mastered the art of crystal cutting. Through enduring passion for innovation and design, it has made it the world’s premier jewelry and accessory brand.
We use AAA high quality zircon. As a natural mineral occurring as prismatic crystals, it occurs in an array of colours making it a favourite among collectors as well as informed consumers. Its high dispersion of light is similar to diamonds and it is one of the oldest minerals found on Earth.
Each piece of our jewelry is hand-crafted and therefore delicate. Please use the appropriate care to enjoy our jewlery for a long time.
