Our Materials
All of our jewelry is made by hand in New York City and New Jersey. Our pieces are cast in either sterling silver, 14kt, or 18kt gold. of our gold pieces are finished with a satin surface finish, unless otherwise noted in the product description and the silver has a shiny surface with either black or two-tone rhodium. The black rubs off the outer surfaces over time. All pieces can be re-plated for a small charge.
We only use natural, fine quality gemstones, pearls, and diamonds and make every effort to obtain our diamonds from conflict-free sources. Our color-less, round-cut diamond quality is G-H in color, SI clarity, or better.
Engraving
For a special touch, engraving and personalization are available on select products. Because these customized items are made especially at your request they are non-returnable unless broken upon receipt.
