CRAFTING ETHICALLY AND RESPONSIBLY
Our Materials
Conscious consumerism is embedded in our DNA. Sustainability is more than a buzz word — it's a philosophy and mission that deeply considers our people and planet.
Artisanally Crafted
In partnership with independent suppliers and artisans across New York, Thailand, India, Italy, and China, our pieces are made by hand in small batches. Your jewels are guaranteed to pass through several artisan hands before being adorned by you.
Responsibly Sourced
We opt for recycled metals and ethically sourced stones, always. By working with trusted suppliers who share our values, we guarantee high quality, lasting pieces produced by sustainable practices.
18K GOLD VERMEIL
Our demi-fine collection is crafted with a heavy layer of 18K gold over Sterling Silver, called Gold Vermeil. This type of plating is significantly thicker than regular gold plating, and, therefore, longer lasting. Our gold meets the minimum thickness of 2.5 microns to be classified as vermeil.
18K GOLD OVER ECO-BRASS
Eco-brass is a lead-free, environmentally-friendly metal alloy. We work with recycled eco-brass to promote a circular economy, reduce the amount of harmful chemicals in the environment, and to offer our styles more affordably. We finish each piece with a durable electroplated coating designed to aid in resistance against tarnishing and discoloration.
STERLING SILVER
Sterling silver is a lightweight metal containing 92.5% pure silver. Chosen for its strength and beauty, it offers a lifetime of durability.
Additional Materials
GEMSTONES
All of our gemstones are lab-grown, genuine AAA grade and offer a remarkably similar appearance to mined gemstones. Plus, they have the added benefits of being fully traceable and manufactured in controlled conditions.
ENAMEL
Our enameling technique involves the direct, hand application of a glossy, epoxy resin onto the metal cast.
PEARLS
We work with freshwater pearls in various shapes and sizes, and the origin is listed on the respective product description. Freshwater pearls are softer than most gemstones, but as still considered very hard and durable. With proper care, they will retain the original color and luster for decades to come.
Our Warranty
