About

Sterling Silver is a living metal that responds to touch, air, and time.

Silver is best worn because natural oils and friction maintain shine. 

Just like the moon waxes and wanes, so does your silver. 

A polishing cloth or professional finish will bring new life to your silver over the years. 

Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. Pure Silver alone is too soft for wear, so copper adds strength. 

This balance is the reason this metal holds beautifully over time. 

It is a natural process for silver to darken with the exposure to air, moisture and skin chemistry. This process is called oxidation, a reaction of the sulfur in the environment. 

When wearing your silver, you can wear it in water but its not good to soak. 

Avoid direct contact with perfumes and lotions which will dull the metal temporarily. 

And please take your silver off when cleaning. 

When storing your silver, keep it in a dry place. 

Gold is also alloyed for strength. Its purity of 24k is very soft. Each alloy has its own character, none are necessarily better than the other, only difference in purposes.

Remove gold when asserting force such as heavy lifting. 

It does scratch which, will add character over time. 

The gemstones and metals in these pieces are sourced thoughtfully from vendors collaborating with the Kimberly Process and the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA)

, protecting human rights. 

Each piece is labeled accordingly . There are uses of recycled silver and gold, vintage & second hand gemstones, and responsibly sourced stones with partnered gemologists. 

Jewelry is a local and global effort. You will find local gems mined in California to Pakistani partners. 

Each piece is collaborative effort with myself as metalsmith, stone setter, designer, CAD designer and sculptor but also gemologists, casters, lapidary artist, and miners.
