Materials

Foundational to our practice, we work exclusively with hand-selected materials of the highest quality and standard to withstand the test of time and wear.

STERLING SILVER - 925
Sterling silver is an alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver and the remaining 7.5% made up of copper. An alloy that is a harder, more workable metal than pure silver. The copper content oxidises upon contact with chemicals and gases in the atmosphere, environment and the skin, causing a darkening known as tarnishing. Sterling silver is the most common silver alloy found in jewellery and is best maintained with routine care and cleaning.

FINE SILVER - 999
Fine silver is the term for pure silver, an elemental metal with a bright white colour and desirable weight. Despite being resistant to tarnishing, fine silver’s softness means it’s suitable for only select applications.

9CT GOLD - 375
9ct gold is an alloy containing 37.5% pure gold with the remaining 62.5% comprising of other metals such as silver, copper and zinc. The combination and ratio of alloy metals will determine the colour of the gold alloy, ranging from yellow, white and rose. In comparison, 9ct yellow gold is paler yellow than 18ct yellow gold, and 9ct white gold is a light, warm grey colour.

18CT GOLD - 750
A high gold content alloy containing 75% pure gold with the remaining 25% comprising of other metals such as silver, copper and palladium. The combination and ratio of alloy metals will determine the colour of the gold alloy; yellow, white or rose. 18ct gold has a richer colour than lower content alloys due to the high percentage of pure gold, and will last better than lower gold content alloys over the years. 18ct yellow gold is a rich yellow colour, and 18ct white gold is a dark, warm grey colour.

18ct gold is a high gold content alloy containing 75% pure gold with the remaining 25% comprising of other metals such as silver, copper and palladium. The combination and ratio of alloy metals determines the colour of the gold alloy, ranging from yellow, white and rose. 18ct gold has a richer colour than lower content alloys due to the high percentage of pure gold, and will endure longer than lower gold content alloys. 18ct yellow gold is a rich yellow colour, and 18ct white gold is a dark, warm grey colour.

PLATINUM - 999
Platinum is a pure elemental metal that is luxurious and heavy with a cool grey colour.
