Our Materials

Sterling Silver

What is Sterling Silver?

Sterling silver is a durable, affordable and precious metal. Sterling silver is made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy such as copper, zinc or other metals. The reason we use sterling silver over pure silver for our jewellery is because pure silver is too soft. By adding other metals, this adds strength and durability to the silver, making it significantly stronger. This makes sterling silver a perfect fit for everyday wear. It’s also hypoallergenic, so you don’t have to worry about nasty reactions. All of our sterling silver jewellery is stamped with 925, but is also lead and nickel free. 

 

Rhodium

What is Rhodium?

Rhodium is a precious metal, from the platinum family. Rhodium is rare, lustrous, corrosion resist and hypoallergenic. It is a valuable metal that’s naturally silver-white in colour and is commonly used to plate white gold and other jewellery to create a bright reflective appearance. As rhodium is harder than gold, it has great durability as it is resistant to scratching and tarnish.

 

Gold Plated

What is gold plating?

Our 18ct gold plated pieces are of the highest quality but are also affordable, so you get the luxe look of solid gold for much less cost. To make our pieces we start with a base of 925 Sterling Silver, then build up layers of 18ct gold, at least 0.5 microns thick, using our advanced Micron Plating process. We steer clear of low-quality base metals (like brass and other alloys), so you know your piece is precious through and through. Gold Plating is also hypocritical and corrosion resistant.

 

Cubic Zirconia 

What are Cubic Zirconia’s?

Cubic zirconia is flawless and colourless, with a brilliance almost identical to diamonds. With gorgeous glitter at the price you want, cubic zirconia (CZ) are man-made stones that simulate diamonds. It is a synthetic stone made from zirconium dioxide, 'Cubic' refers to the symmetry of crystals and 'zirconia' references its chemical composition. With a Moh's scale of 8.5, it is highly durable and suitable to use in all jewellery types.  

It's a great alternative for fashion jewellery, since it's super tough and really affordable. Our Cubic Zirconia are lab created meaning they are free from the mining process and practices, but also ethically made and sustainable.
