Materials & Care
Sterling Silver

A highly durable and precious metal, Sterling Silver is an alloy of 92.5% pure or fine silver, and 7.5% copper.

We also use Argentium™ Sterling Silver which is made of 93.5% pure or fine silver, and 6.5% copper and germanium.

CARE:

For heavily soiled pieces, soak in 1 cup of warm water + 2 drops of dish soap for 10 minutes. Use a soft brisled tooth brush to get into hard spots. Rinse with warm water, and pat dry.

You may also use a polishing cloth (with compound for a shinier polish) and buff to a high shine.

For tarnished chain, it is best to use a "silver dip" jewelry cleaning solution.

Gold Vermeil

A base of sterling silver with 2.5 microns (super thick) of 14K gold plating on top.

The gold plating will wear off over time and depends heavily on how you care for your pieces. Because the plating is so thick, it should last a few years.

CARE:

For heavily soiled pieces, soak in 1 cup of warm water + 2 drops of dish soap for 10 minutes. Use a Q-tip to get into hard spots. Rinse with warm water, and pat dry.

Avoid regularly using a polishing cloth as this may remove layers of gold plating.

Store in an air tight container such as a resealable baggie to prevent tarnish.

Words of Wisdom - It's important to properly care for your plated jewelry to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

Here are a few tips:

1 - Apply lotion, hairspray, perfume and makeup before putting on your gold-plated pieces.

2- Use a cotton pad, or microfiber cloth to clean your piece after eaach wear. This will prevent build up that is haard to remove.

3 - Remove your jewellery when exercising, swimming or showering. Sweat and salts will damage the plating.

4 - Store your pieces separately from each other to prevent scratching.

Heavy Gold Plated Brass

Similar to gold vermeil with 2.5 microns of 14K gold plating, except the base is brass.

The gold plating will wear off over time and depends heavily on how you care for your pieces. Since the brass base is also a gold colour, when the plating wears off it won't be as noticeable as a silver base.

Because the plating is so thick, it should last a few years!

CARE:

For heavily soiled pieces, soak in 1 cup of warm water + 2 drops of dish soap for 10 minutes. Use a Q-tip to get into hard spots. Rinse with warm water, and pat dry.

14K Gold Fill

Not to be confused with gold plated metals, 14K Gold-Fill has a brass base with a thick layer of 14K gold heat and pressure bonded to the core. The gold layer is 5% of the weight of the metal, so it is super thick.

Gold-Fill metals last considerably longer than plated metals and is the next best thing to solid gold. However, it can only be used for specific pieces!

CARE:

For heavily soiled pieces, soak in 1 cup of warm water + 2 drops of dish soap for 10 minutes. Use a soft brisled tooth brush to get into hard spots. Rinse with warm water, and pat dry.

Solid Karat Gold

A highly durable and precious metal, Karat Gold is an alloy of pure (24K) gold and silver, cooper and zinc.

We typically use 14K yellow gold, but gold comes in all different karats, commonly, 10K, 18K, 22K, 24K.

14K means 14 out of 24 parts are pure gold, which amounts to 58% pure gold and 42% silver, copper and zinc.

Karat gold lasts a lifetime and is does not tarnish which makes it perfect for every day wear and heirloom pieces.

Freshwater Cultured Pearls

Freshwater cultured pearls are genuine pearls that are farmed using freshwater mussels. We source our pearls directly from pearl farmers in the Zhejiang province of China.

Oyster farms are extremely beneficial to their ecosystem as they filter the water, removing heavy metals and nitrogen and allowing for diverse animal and plant life to flourish. They also incentivize waterways to be kept clean and healthy, as oyster and pearl growth is significantly slowed in dirty or polluted waters.

CARE:

Store your pearl jewelry seprately from other pieces to avoid friction and maintain their lustre and shine. It's best to keep your pearl pieces in a soft pouch or jewelry box. Avoid perfumes, lotions and contact with water if possible, otherwise put on your pearl pieces after applying product.

To give your pearls an extra good clean, you can mix 1 cup of warm water with a few drops of shampoo (as this is milder than other soaps) and use a makeup brush (softer bristles than a toothbrush) to clean each pearl. Use a damp cloth to wipe each pearl and leave your piece to dry on a soft cloth.
