♢ Gold Vermeil (pronounced ver’may) is a way of having a premium, long-lasting finish atan affordable price tag. We use 2.5microns of gold plating over a base of 100% solid recycled silver in every single gold piece. That’s five times thicker than the normal gold-plate you see on the high street meaning your jewellery is going to last longer and won’t tarnish or fade in a month or two. To ensure these are pieces you will wear forever, I offer a re-plating service if you need it in the future.
♢ I’m sure that a circular economy is the way forward in jewellery manufacture. That’s why certified recycled silver is used in all of the pieces customers can buy. It cuts down CO2 emissions by 2/3rds of mined silver.
♢ The majority of our silver is bought in Thailand and comes from previously owned jewellery, industry or electronics components. It is refined and purified before being recast and the parts of this process are certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council and London Bullion Market Association. A selection of our chains are made in the UK with recycled silver.
♢ Recycled silver has its own hallmark and is slightly more expensive to use, but we think it's the better option.
♢ Ruby is the birthstone for July. The “King of Precious Stones”, according to its name in Sanskrit, early cultures believes it symbolised the power of life.
♢ Ethically mined, the factory we use sources natural stones from trusted suppliers.
