An Overview of Our Materials
We use a variety of high-quality materials for durability, sustainability, and to meet customers at differing price points. We specialize in focal pieces made with Silver Metal Clay. We use gold-filled wire, chain, and findings in virtually all jewelry, as gold-filled is the next best thing to pure gold in terms of quality and price point. If customers prefer the color of silver jewelry, we offer hypoallergenic and nickel-free 925 sterling silver wire, chain, and findings. Our goal is to offer attainable products for everyone.
Silver Metal Clay
Silver Metal Clay is a unique medium composed of recycled fine silver powder, an organic binder, and water. It is shaped and molded while wet, and then fired using a kiln or torch. The organic binder burns away, leaving the silver fused together in a solid piece of pure fine silver. Fun fact: fine silver does not tarnish as quickly as sterling silver.
Gold-Filled
Gold-filled is a durable, affordable alternative to solid gold. Made by heat and pressure bonding a very thick layer of 14k gold to a jeweler's brass core, gold-filled pieces will withstand the test of time with proper care and storage. Gold-filled is also an excellent option for people with skin sensitivities or allergies.
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a solid metal composed of 92.5% pure silver and a base metal, typically copper. It is durable, hypoallergenic, and requires minimal upkeep with proper storage and care. It can also be reused by melting it down and then creating new sheet, wire, or findings.
