Materials

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

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.
