The Materials
I work with materials that have been responsibly and ethically sourced.
sterling silver
I work with 925 Sterling silver. All precious metals worked with are recycled metals. Being solid silver, means that the jewellery pieces I create are hard wearing. Silver that falls under 7.78g in weight may not always be hallmarked.This is in accordance with the Hallmarking Act 1973. Click here for more info
argentium Silver
I am a licensed user of the Argentium Brand and Trade Marks. Argentium Silver is a purer more superior silver. It's brighter and whiter than Platinum, Palladium or Sterling Silver. Argentium is low maintenance, tarnish resistant, hypoallergenic and easy to look after. Click here to learn more about Argentium
gold
I work with yellow, red and white gold in 9ct, 14ct and 18ct. I also work with SMO (single mine origin) Gold. All precious metals worked with are recycled metals. Being solid gold, means that the jewellery pieces I create are hard wearing. All gold jewellery is hallmarked by The Goldsmith's Company Assay Office London.
GEMSTONES
The semi-precious and precious gemstones I work with are as responsibly and ethically sourced as possible from trusted suppliers in the U.K. These suppliers are working hard to ensure best practices are met. They visit and build strong relationships with the workshops and factories where the gemstones are cut, and are confident that the people employed are treated well and fairly.
