Materials & Care
Made to last.
Meant to be worn.
We make everything to be lived in, not saved for a special occasion. A little care goes a long way in keeping your piece beautiful for years to come.
✦ We offer a complimentary polish anytime — just bring your piece to any event or pop-up we're at. ✦
Sterling Silver
925 Sterling Silver is 92.5% pure silver, blended with a small amount of copper for everyday durability. Over time it naturally develops a patina, a warm, deepening tone that a lot of people love for the character it adds. If you prefer it bright, a soft silver cloth brings it right back.
Care
- Store in a clean, dry place when not wearing
- Keep in a soft pouch or away from other metals to prevent scratching
- Polish with a soft silver cloth to bring back the shine anytime
- Remove before swimming, bathing, or using cleaning products
Nickel-Free Brass
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, naturally nickel-free and genuinely durable for everyday wear. It polishes to a warm golden tone and ages beautifully over time, developing a rich natural patina that only adds to its character. You can keep it bright or let it do its thing. Both are great.
Care
- Store in a dry place when not wearing to slow natural oxidation
- Wipe with a brass polishing cloth to restore brightness
- Or let it darken gradually — that warm aged look is completely natural
- Avoid prolonged exposure to water and perfumes
Gold Vermeil
Vermeil is not the same as standard gold plating, and we want you to know that. Ours uses a much thicker layer of 18k gold over a sterling silver base, which makes it significantly longer-lasting and higher quality than typical plated jewelry. It's worth taking a little extra care of.
Care
- Apply perfume, lotion, and hairspray first, then put on your jewelry
- Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth only
- Store separately in a pouch to avoid scratching the gold layer
- Avoid pools, hot tubs, and prolonged saltwater exposure
Gemstones
We use genuine, natural gemstones, cut smooth or faceted, chosen for their beauty and longevity. Because they're natural, every single stone has its own subtle variation in color and texture. No two are exactly alike, which means your piece really is one of a kind.
Care
- Store away from direct sunlight to preserve color over time
- Keep away from chemicals and harsh liquids
- Clean gently with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth
- Dry fully before storing
Sea Glass
Our sea glass is hand-collected from local beaches by us. Each piece is shaped by the ocean over time, which means the color, texture, and frosted finish are completely natural and totally unique. It's one of our favorite parts of what we do, and one of the most personal materials we work with.
Care
- Clean gently with warm water and a soft cloth
- Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged soaking
- Store carefully to protect the edges from chipping
- Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve the color
Good Habits for All Pieces
A few simple things that make a real difference, no matter what metal or stone you have.
Last on, first off. Put your jewelry on after applying perfume, lotion, and hairspray — these are the things that actually affect your metals over time.
Store pieces separately. Keep each piece in a soft pouch or its own compartment to prevent metals and stones from scratching each other.
Watch the water. Everyday wear, hand washing, and showers are generally totally fine. What actually does the damage over time is chlorine, hot tubs, and prolonged saltwater exposure — so those are the ones worth being mindful of.
Give it a quick wipe. A soft cloth after wearing removes oils and buildup and keeps things looking their best between deeper cleanings.
We want you to wear your piece every day and love it for years.
If it ever needs a little extra attention, just find us at an event and we'll take care of it.
