Quality & Sustainability

Hey Mireia! What is your jewelry made out of?

Great question! All of our jewelry is made from recycled Sterling Silver. Most of our styles have a 14K Gold plate which is a thin layer of gold that is bonded to the base metal. Gold plating gives the look and feel of solid gold jewelry, but at a much more affordable price point. Our earring posts are also Sterling Silver or Sterling Silver with a fine gold plate, making them hypoallergenic and safe for everyday wear. We also finish all of our jewelry in a specialized coating that helps prevent tarnishing and discoloration.

What is Recycled Sterling Silver? Is it as durable as regular Sterling Silver?

Recycled Sterling Silver is precious Silver extracted from recycled metal products. The Silver is separated from the other metals it's mixed with, melted down, and reused to make new sterling silver products. The silver produced at the end of the process is still 92.5% pure silver, with the same quality and durability as non-recycled Sterling Silver. 

Just like Sterling Silver, Recycled Sterling Silver can last a lifetime if cared for properly. Read More About Jewelry Care Here

What actions are you taking to be sustainable?

Besides using recycled metal for our products, we also use sustainable or recyclable materials for all of our packaging wherever possible. Our post card, jewelry cards, belly bands, stickers, and faux suede lined boxes are all made with recycled materials (yes! the faux suede is also recycled!) and can be further recycled. We recommend saving your faux-suede lined jewelry box as the perfect jewelry storage option. 

We are always consciously minimizing the amount of waste our packages may create by making sure each item can be reuse, recycled, or made sustainably. We only order small quantities of product, packaging materials, and paper marketing materials to avoid creating excess waste.
