This page describes the materials in our jewelry and the natural characteristics of the stones we sell. It applies to every piece in addition to its individual product page.
Metals
Our jewelry is made with sterling silver, 14k gold-filled metal, or both. The product page for each piece states which metals it contains.
- Sterling silver is .925 silver: 92.5% pure silver alloyed with other metals, usually copper, for strength. Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time; see our Care and Wear guide.
- 14k gold-filled metal has a thick layer of 14 karat gold permanently bonded to a base metal core. It is not solid gold and it is not gold plating; the gold layer is many times thicker than plating and, with care, lasts for years of wear.
If you have a sensitivity to any metal, please contact us at Contact us before ordering and we will tell you what we know about the piece.
Natural stones
The stones in our jewelry and our loose stones are natural. Pattern, color, translucency, inclusions, small pits, healed lines and matrix are part of the stone and are not defects. No two pieces are the same, and each piece is shown in photographs of that exact piece.
Treatments
We do not knowingly use dyed stones. If a stone has been stabilized, which means it has been impregnated with a clear resin to strengthen it, the product page says so. Any other treatment we know of is also stated on the product page. A stated treatment can affect how the stone should be cared for; see our Care and Wear guide.
Photographs and color
We photograph each piece ourselves under consistent lighting. Colors can still look different from screen to screen and under different light, so a piece may look slightly warmer, cooler, lighter or darker in person.
Measurements and sizing
Each product page lists the measurements that matter for that piece, such as stone size, pendant length, chain length or bracelet length. Measurements are taken by hand and may vary slightly. Please check the listed size before ordering; resized or altered pieces cannot be returned.
No health or investment claims
Our stones and jewelry are sold as jewelry and natural objects. We make no claim that they have healing, medical or metaphysical effects, and we do not offer them as investments or promise any future value.
