Silver and gold vermeil, nothing plated over brass
Every piece here is one of two things. Solid 925 sterling silver, or 18kt gold vermeil, which is three microns of 18kt gold over a solid 925 sterling silver core.
Vermeil matters. Ordinary gold plating is a thin wash of gold over brass or steel, and it wears back to the base metal in months. Vermeil has to meet a standard: a sterling silver base, gold of at least 10 karat, and a layer at least 2.5 microns thick. Ours is 18 karat at three microns. It is the difference between jewellery you keep and jewellery you replace.
What is in the range
Studs, hoops, drops, stacker rings, signet styles, fine chains, pendants, bangles and cuffs. Most of it is small enough to wear every day and leave on. The heavier chains and cuffs are there for the days you want something with weight to it.
Freshwater pearls appear through the range, set on hoops, studs and rings. They are real pearls, not glass or resin.
Ring sizing
Rings come in four sizes on the standard UK and New Zealand letter scale: L, N, Q and S. It is the same scale every jeweller here uses, so if you have been sized before, your letter carries across.
If you have not been sized, email us and we will walk you through measuring a ring you already wear. We answer within one to two business days.
Looking after it
Last thing on, first thing off. Perfume, hairspray, sunscreen and chlorine are what dull silver and wear gold, not normal wear. Take pieces off before you swim or shower. Store them dry and apart from each other so they do not scratch.
Sterling silver tarnishes. That is the metal doing what it does, not a fault. A soft polishing cloth brings it back. Do not use a silver dip on the vermeil pieces, because it strips gold.
Ordering
Dispatched within 48 hours. Free shipping on New Zealand orders over $150, and we ship to Australia, the United States, Canada and the UAE. For hygiene reasons we cannot accept returns on pierced earrings unless they arrive faulty. Everything else follows our standard returns policy.
