Materials behind the craft
Solid Gold
I use high-quality gold in every piece I create, with options in 10k gold (41.7% gold), 14k gold (58.3% gold), and 18k gold (75% gold). All of the gold I work with is SCS-Certified 100% Recycled Precious Metals, sourced from recycled materials to reduce the environmental impact of mining. This ensures you’re receiving beautiful, durable pieces made with a commitment to both quality and sustainability.
Gold Filled
Gold filled wire is made through a mechanical bonding process. A thick layer of 14-karat gold (5% of the wire's total weight) is permanently bonded to a base metal, typically brass, using heat and pressure. This process creates a durable and long-lasting material where the gold layer is securely attached, ensuring it does not flake or peel off under normal wear conditions.

Sterling Silver
The sterling silver I use is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper, certified to meet the standards set by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC). This certification reflects a commitment to ethical sourcing, addressing environmental, social, financial, and regulatory responsibilities.

Argentium
The Argentium silver I use contains 94% pure silver, with the remaining 6% composed of metals like copper and a touch of germanium. Germanium is a unique metal that enhances the silver by forming a protective layer, significantly reducing tarnish while boosting durability and maintaining a lasting shine.
