Materials

Gold vermeil is the highest quality of gold plate.  We use 18ct gold, minimum 2.5micron thickness (ours is 3-4 micron) plated over sterling silver.  Originally developed to save weight but now significantly mitigating the cost without reducing the beauty or quality of an item.

Rhodium is the rarest member of the platinum group of metals.  Extremely valuable it is used to plate silver and white gold to give it a hard, lustrous finish that is safe and ant-tarnish and enhances sculptural designs

Our lapis lazuli is sourced from an Afghan family who mine, cut and polish the stones and with whom we’ve traded for more than 15 years
