FAQ & CARE

FAQ & CARE

Every detail of our jewellery is meticulously hand crafted. We use the ancient
lost-wax process, to sculpt and then cast each piece. Laura and her team
of skilled assistants, create limited-edition collections, so that the work
is always evolving.

Laura also works closely with clients to create bespoke one of a kind pieces.
We work in 925 sterling silver, 14K and 18K gold. We believe in recycling and reducing the global demand for newly mined precious metals, and offer jewellery made from recycled precious metals.

We source stones for that are mined and cut in accordance
with the Kimberley Process which abides to strict Labour,
Trade and Enviromental practices.

 

CARING FOR YOUR JEWELLERY

Jewellery should be treated carefully. To clean your jewellery, rinse it in a mild
soap and water solution, using a soft toothbrush. To maintain a matte finish, gently brush the surface with a 3M "ScotchBrite" pad

To clean your jewellery with stones, use a mild soap and water solution and gently clean the surface, then rinse and dry. If your piece has pearls, clean by wiping gently with a soft cloth. Store each piece separately, in a zip lock plastic bag, this will help prevent tarnish. Please note that our sterling silver pieces are nickel-free. 

Pearls and stones used in our jewellery are natural and genuine. 
Colours, shading and inclusions of stones and pearls do vary, and are part
of their nature. We do our best to carefully choose and match stones and pearls for each piece of jewellery. 

Apply lotions and perfume before wearing your jewellery. These cosmetics might damage the surface of pearls and some stones, and may cause discolouration.
