ABOUT THE MATERIALS

GOLD FILLED

Gold filled consists of a base metal (usually brass, which is a mixture of copper and zinc) bonded with a layer of karat gold over top. Gold filled is legally required to contain 5% or 1/20 gold by weight. All the gold filled jewelry that we carry is 14k yellow gold filled, with the exception of our 12k gold filled beaded bracelets. Meaning, all the gold that is bonded was 14k solid gold to begin with. This can be described as either 14/20 gold filled, or 14k gold filled.

STERLING SILVER

Our sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver, and 7.5% copper. Sometimes other compaines will have other metals besides just copper in that 7.5%, ours does not. 

GOLD

We use 10K or 14K gold throughout our collections. 10k gold contains 41.7% pure gold and 14k contains 58.3% pure gold. 10k gold is stronger than 14k gold. Other metals have been added to pure gold to strengthen it.

BRONZE

Our bronze is a combination of copper and tin, and is lead free. Bronze is quite durable, but requires a bit more care. Keep your bronze jewelry in a sealed container when not in use. The great thing though is you can use a polishing cloth to bring back the shine.

FAQ

What size am I?

If you're unsure of your ring size you can check out our handy ring sizing chart, or purchase a ring sizer to get your exact fit. Necklaces vary from person to person depending on the size of your neck. Best to measure using a mesuring tape, we explain is all here.

How and where is your Jewelry made?

We start out with wire, sometimes a setting, and an earring post, and bend, mold, fuze, solder, and hammer that metal into jewelry.

On Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada. We make everything with the exception of chains. We do outsource some of our settings but the end result is all made by us.

Do you use recycled material?

We sure do! We recycle and reuse our material whenever we can. All of our scrap materials are sent off to a manufacturer to be re-made into wire and sheet metal.

Additionally all our packaging is recyclable or made from post consumer products

What is gold filled?

Our gold filled jewelry consists of 14K yellow gold bonded to a base metal. Because of this it won’t EVER rub or chip away.It has roughly 100 times the amount of gold than the average gold plate.So go ahead and wash your hands, wear your earrings in the shower -- the gold will remain!
