What materials do you avoid?
- We only use the above precious metals and avoid the following commonly used metals in jewelry:
- Gold-Filled – A gold layer mechanically bonded to brass, which is a cheaper metal used in “fake” or “costume jewelry”
- Gold-Plated over Brass or Steel – A thin gold-layer electroplated over a cheaper base metal, used in “fake” or “costume jewelry”
- Silver-Plated over Brass or Steel – A thin silver-layer electroplated over a cheaper base metal, used in “fake” or “costume jewelry”
- Nickel – Used as a base metal or as a layer to brighten up plating on top. Unfortunately, Nickel is known to cause skin reactions in a significant portion of the population

So… there’s no nickel?
- NO NICKEL. We do not use any nickel in any of our jewelry. All our pieces are safe to wear for sensitive skin.

Will my jewelry tarnish?
- Natural, precious metals can tarnish over time. Our materials are high-quality and we do everything possible to ensure the longevity of our jewelry (e.g., plating all our Sterling-Silver with Rhodium)
- In the rare instance that your piece tarnishes, it can usually be brought back to shine with a polishing cloth. If you need our assistance in bringing it back to perfect – just sent it back and we’ll fix it up or replace it.
