Frequently Asked Questions.

General Enquiry.

  • What material did you use for your jewellery?

We try to source our materials in the most ethical and sustainable way. That's why when possible; we work with recycled metals to minimise production footprints as well as contributing to the sustainable working environment (in relation to Miners and Craftspeople wellbeing).

​

freshwater pearls and gemstones are sourced responsibly through a well respected ethical gemstone & pearls supplier.

​

  • I want to buy a ring, but not sure which size I should choose. How do I know what size of the ring is the right one for me?

Depending on your circumstances, you can either schedule a studio visit with us so that we can take your measures, or alternatively, you can:

  1. Find your ring size using www.findmyringsize.com, or you could download our ring size template by click here.

  2. Visit your local jeweller who should be able to measure you accurately.

 

​When measuring, please pay attention to the two of the most important aspects:

  1. Make sure you're at a comfortable, normal temperature - cold weather can cause your fingers to shrink by half a ring size, whereas hot weather, exercise, water retention caused by food, medication or illness can do the opposite.

  2. Measure the exact finger you want the ring for - this may sound obvious, but the fingers on your dominant hand are larger than on your non-dominant hand, so don't assume the measurements will be the same.

​

  • The jewellery that I bought look a bit dull after a month, what should I do to keep/bring back the shine?

There's a lot of aspects that could contribute to this. from the material that used to make the piece to the acidity of your sweats as well as contact with liquid and other materials.

​

What you could do to prevent your jewellery from losing their shine is:

  1. Make sure you pay attention to the materials used to make the piece. Brass and Copper will be oxidised upon contact with oxygen. While silver and gold would gradually lose it's shine when in contact with liquid such as perfume and alcohol.

  2. Take off your jewellery, especially rings when you wash your hand and doing heavy-duty work such as gardening, cleaning, and similar activity as the scratch from pebbles, dirt and other materials could potentially wear off the shine of your jewel.

  3. Spray your perfume/ hairspray first and allow a bit of time for the substance to set before putting your jewellery on.

​

In the case that the damage is already done and dusted, we offer a polishing service for you. Please contact us to discuss further in regards to the cost and how long it will take.
