MORE INFO

I trained as a silversmith and jeweller and working with quality metals is very important to me. Cheap jewellery is often not what it appears to be - you may be putting a mix of toxic heavy metals against your skin.

I take great care to source my silver from reputable suppliers and work with a local workshop here in Vancouver. 

Unlike mass-produced and cheap dropshipped jewellery, each piece takes months from design to the final stage and is hand-finished in my own studio. Working with other local artisans means I'm involved in the full process of creation and I've also forged valuable connections with other craftspeople! As each charm is individually handmade, each piece may have small variations or imperfections.

I'll be adding more silver pieces to my line, so please check my socials and sign up to my mailing list for updates.

CARE

Take gentle care of your jewellery. You can use soap and water and dry it by hand with a soft cloth.

Make sure it's completely dry before storing it. 

A natural dark patina may form especially if not handled often. This is normal tarnish from the copper that gives sterling silver its strength, and can be removed with a silver polishing cloth to allow the true beauty of this precious metal to shine through.

In order to reduce tarnish and corrosion, jewellery should be put on only after using hair products makeup and moisturizer and removed before exercising or showering.

Avoid storing sterling silver with rubber-based products like rubber bands. Rubber speeds up the tarnishing of your silver pieces. Do not clean with bleach.

People also have very different body chemistries, and it's natural for silver to tarnish at different rates depending on whom the wearer is. So don't be alarmed if you find silver jewellery you wear changing colour-a quick polish should bring it back to normal.

You can also keep the patina or only polish the details for contrast if you prefer!
