All our items are hand made and unique, from the best quality we have. We combine metals such as Sterling silver, Gold, Goldfilled, Aluminum, Stainless steel etc., together with excotic natural woods.
Metal information
Sterling Silver 925 is very high quality & natural material. It's silver and will last forever. That being said it will naturally darken and does need to be cleaned. All of our silver pieces are sterling silver.
Gold plated Silver (vermeil) is sterling silver which has been plated with a thick layer of 24 karat gold.
Gold-filled is composed of a solid layer of gold bonded to a base of metal.
Gold filled is used for all of our gold chains. Gold filled means that it has an overall higher amount of gold then plated, which is needed for items so delicate and intimate such as chains.
Aluminum is a lightweight, silvery-white metal. It is colored in an electro chemical process, called Anodize, that converts the metal surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant, anodic oxide finish.
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. The brass is shiny-gold but tarnishes quickly to a brown color. We usually use brass and plate it in silver or gold.
