Brass
Gold Plated Brass:
Brass is a copper-zinc binary alloy and also an ethical alternative to gold. We utilize 14/18kt gold plated brass that has been treated with an anti-tarnish coating to extend the life of our jewelry.
All the brass is free of nickel, lead and cadmium – we make sure contaminants are removed before handcrafting the pieces.
Gemstones
​
While we exclusively utilize natural gemstones polished and cut for everyday usages, such as blue topaz, citrine, quartz, and smoky, to mention a few, some of these are lab-made do enquire to know more.

Please Note: Since we use natural metals for producing jewellery, they tend to react with the outside environment over time. To slow the tarnishing down, we recommend that you store the jewellery in an air-tight box and avoid perfume, water and humidity from coming in contact with the pieces We offer repolishing services at nominal costs.
