MATERIALS AND PRODUCTION

What metals do you use?

Our jewellery is made from following precious metals:

Silver : 925 sterling
Gold : Solid 9ct and 18ct gold, in both yellow and rose
Gold plate : 22ct yellow gold

Where is your jewellery made?

Our jewellery is proudly made in New Zealand in our Auckland studios. Our small team expertly carve, hammer, solder and shape your jewellery by hand.

Is there nickel in the gold plate?

Yes, there is nickel in our gold plate. Pure gold is a very soft metal and the presence of nickel increases the hardness of the gold plate so that it lasts longer. We use a high quality gold plate and have only had a very small number of customers ever react to the nickel.

If you have a nickel allergy please contact us to discuss alternative options before purchasing your jewellery. For example, we are able to exchange an earring's gold plated hooks for solid gold hooks.

How long will gold plating last?

Plating will naturally wear over time. Contact us if you’d like to replate an item and we’ll happily arrange a quote.

See our jewellery care page for information on how to best care for your gold plate.
