316 surgical stainless steel
A strong and durable material for jewellery designed to be worn often.
316 surgical stainless steel is a high-quality type of stainless steel used in jewellery for its strength, durability and excellent resistance to corrosion. The material retains its shape well and withstands everyday wear better than many softer metals.
316 steel gives jewellery a smooth surface, refined lustre and a substantial feel. The durable material is particularly well suited to rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings designed for everyday wear.
Unlike softer materials, surgical steel does not bend or scratch as easily. With the right care, the jewellery can retain both its shape and finish for a long time.
316 surgical stainless steel offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. However, jewellery should still be protected from prolonged contact with water, perfume, skincare products and strong chemicals to keep the finish looking its best for as long as possible.
Thanks to its hypoallergenic properties, surgical steel is a suitable choice for many people with sensitive skin. PVD also creates a highly durable coating that is less likely to flake or peel.
However, everyone reacts differently. People with a diagnosed metal or nickel allergy may still be sensitive to certain pieces of jewellery.
14K gold plating with PVD
The look of 14K gold combined with the strength of surgical steel.
Our gold-coloured jewellery is treated using PVD, Physical Vapour Deposition. During the process, a thin 14K gold-coloured coating is bonded to the surface of the steel.
PVD plating is considerably more durable and resistant than conventional plating. The method helps the jewellery retain its colour and finish for longer before signs of wear or scratching begin to appear.
The result is a refined gold-coloured finish suited to jewellery designed to be worn every day.
Black TiCN plating with PVD
A dark metallic finish with excellent durability.
TiCN stands for Titanium Carbonitride and is applied using PVD technology. The coating creates a hard and resistant surface with a deep, dark tone. This is the coating used on our black jewellery.
Depending on the design of the jewellery, the finish may be polished, brushed or matt. The dark metallic tone gives the jewellery a modern, understated look.
Genuine freshwater pearls
No two pearls are exactly alike.
Pearls are organic and form inside molluscs when foreign particles enter the shell. The mollusc protects itself by surrounding the particle with layers of nacre.
Nacre consists of minerals and proteins naturally produced by the mollusc. As these build up in several layers, a pearl eventually forms.
As the pearls are genuine, natural variations in shape, colour and lustre may occur. They may vary in shades including white, cream, beige, pink and purple, making every piece of jewellery unique.
In Greek mythology, pearls were associated with Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. Pearls became a symbol of the sea, beauty and individuality.
Freshwater pearls also have a long history in ancient China, where they were cultivated in rivers and lakes and worn as symbols of good fortune, protection and health.
Our freshwater pearls are cultured, meaning they are produced with human care. Cultivation makes it possible to produce pearls without taking them from wild mussel populations.
As the pearls are genuine, they occur in natural colours, shades and shapes. This gives every pearl and every piece of jewellery its own distinctive character.
Freshwater pearls do not have a coloured coating. However, they should still be stored separately from other jewellery to reduce the risk of scratches and other damage.
Leather
A living material that develops more character the more it is worn.
Italian leather is renowned for its quality, natural feel and craftsmanship. Variations in texture and shade may occur, giving each product its own distinctive and individual character.
Over time, genuine leather may develop a natural patina, a subtle change in colour and sheen that reflects how the material has been worn. These variations are a natural part of the leather's character.
An animal-free alternative with a refined look.
Vegan leather is a material designed to recreate the appearance and feel of traditional leather without containing animal-derived materials. It provides a smooth and flexible surface that works well for jewellery and accessories.
The exact composition of the material may vary between products. Further information can be found in the individual product description.
Vegan leather should be protected from excessive water, strong heat, perfume and chemicals. If necessary, gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
