DEMI FINE:
14kt gold fill:
a solid bond of 14kt gold to a gold tone base metal. unlike a plated alternative, 14kt gold fill is a long wear and nickel free gold option with a moderate price point that gives you the same glow of solid 14kt gold. with proper care it will wear and keep its shine for the life of the piece.
.935 argentium silver:
a high content bright silver that’s antibacterial, more resistant to tarnish, and nickel free. a beautifully resilient metal that can always be polished back to brand new even after a lifetime of love. argentium silver is a higher quality solid silver and sister of the traditional .925 sterling silver (with an additional touch of geranium).
FINE:
14kt solid gold:
we use recycled 14kt yellow and white gold that requires minimal care or maintenance. an ancient earthly element with a bright natural luster.
diamonds: we shop our diamonds from trusted sources working in accordance with the Kimberly Process*, independent and family owned stone cutters, sustainably lab grown or recycled from heirloom or estate jewelry. *The Kimberley Process (KP) unites administrations, civil societies, and industry in reducing the flow of conflict diamonds around the world. our lab grown diamonds (LGD) go through an in-depth screening process and are visually, chemically, and physically identical to natural diamonds. each stone is still one of a kind and grown over the course of 2-4 weeks. LGD’s bring the same sparkle and shine as a natural diamond at a more flexible price point for larger carat stones with exceptional color and clarity. the choice between a natural or LGD is a personal and intimate one, there is no wrong choice and the stone you choose will be uniquely yours no matter how it was created.
