Material & maintenance
Material
All our jewelry is handmade, making each piece unique. Recycled silver and gold are used during our production process. The (precious) stones that are used are honestly mined. In addition, we try to create as little 'waste' as possible when processing the material.
Silver
The 'silver' jewelry is made of Sterling Silver, or 925 silver. Pure silver is too soft to make jewelry, so the pure silver is mixed with a small amount of other material to make it stronger. Sterling silver consists largely of silver (92.5%), the other 7.5% consists of other materials.

Maintenance

Silver
Silver jewelry can eventually discolour, for example they can become greenish, black or dull. The discoloration of silver is called oxidation, this is a natural process with silver and therefore also with silver jewelry. Silver jewelry also reacts to the acidity of your skin. The acidity of your skin varies from person to person and depends on many factors. For example, it has to do with what you eat, whether you take medication and the amount of perspiration. Therefore, polish silver jewelry regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
