Keep It Glowing
Jewelry is meant to be worn and loved - but a little care goes a long way!
We use ASM silver for a more responsible choice, but sustainability is a journey, and we’re always improving.
As for durability? Well… no material is indestructible (we wish!)—but with the right care, your pieces will stay beautiful for years to come.
So, let’s dive into the details—what our jewelry is made of and how to take care of it.

One step closer to the sustainability...
-
a b o u t.
ASM (Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining) meaning the silver comes from small, independently run mines using traditional methods. While these mines often face ethical and sustainability challenges due to minimal regulations, we’re committed to doing better.
That’s why we source our ASM silver from Fairever, a supplier that prioritizes fair wages, transparency, and low environmental impact. -

Silver ages like a rockstar—it might develop a patina (that moody dark layer), but that’s just part of its charm.
Unlike plating, silver won’t wear away, and a quick polish brings it back to its bright, shiny self. -

✨ Water’s fine, but... – sweat, air, and lotions speed up tarnish.
✨ Quick wipe – A silver cloth now and then.
✨ Dry storage – Keep it in a pouch or box.
✨ Wear often – Skin’s natural oils keep it shining!

The 14k gold plating is done in the Czech Republic by a long-term partner our jeweler has worked with for years. This ensures a consistent, high-quality finish while keeping production close to home.
Our silver comes from Fairever, a supplier known for ethical and sustainable sourcing. -

Gold plating adds a beautiful finish but naturally wears over time, especially with frequent contact with water, sweat, and friction.
14k gold plating offers a durable layer, but it’s still delicate compared to solid gold. -
c a r e.
✨ Last on, first off – After dressing (and after perfume!), before undressing.
✨ Keep dry – Humidity isn’t a friend.
✨ Store solo – In a soft pouch or box.
✨ Gentle clean – Soft cloth, no scrubbing or chemicals.

Our silver and gold-plated beads come from trusted EU manufacturers, ensuring high quality and consistency.
Our supplier conducts annual chemical analyses at the Assay Office to confirm 925 purity.
With 16+ years of experience, they prioritize reliability and transparency, stating the origin as EU or Czech Republic where applicable. -
d u r a b i l i t y.
Our silver beads are as tough as solid silver—just give them a little care, and they’ll keep shining.
Gold-plated silver beads have a beautiful finish that lasts, but over time, the gold will naturally fade, revealing the solid silver underneath. It’s all part of the jewelry’s journey!
With care, both stay beautiful - see our tips to keep them glowing! ➡️ -
c a r e.
✨ Keep dry – Moisture speeds up tarnish and wears down plating.
✨ Gentle clean – A soft cloth, no scrubbing or chemicals.
✨ Last on, first off – Avoid contact with lotions, perfumes & sweat.
✨ Store smart – A dry spot keeps both silver and plating in top shape.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a high-tech way of coating jewelry with a thin layer of titanium-based material in a vacuum.
It bonds to the surface like a second skin, giving your piece a sleek look and extra durability . -
d u r a b i l i t y.
PVD steel is scratch-resistant, sweat-proof, and ocean-hardy.
Thanks to a vacuum-sealed magic trick, it lasts longer and handles more wipeouts than regular coatings. -
c a r e.
✨ Rinse it off – Salt, sand, or sunscreen? Just water will do.
✨ Pat it dry – Soft cloth, good vibes only.
✨ No harsh stuff – Skip the chemicals and scrubbing.

Formation: Silica-rich water fills rock gaps, leaving quartz layers over time.
Look: Iron & manganese create cool color bands.
Tough: Hard enough for everyday wear.
Charm: Ancient people believed it brought luck and healing.
Fun Fact: Named after the Achates River in Sicily, agate was used in ancient seals and jewelry.
Found in: Brazil, Uruguay, India, USA.
c h a l c e d o n y
Formation: Chalcedony forms when water with tiny bits of silica fills cracks in rocks. Over time, the water dries up, and the silica hardens into a smooth, solid stone made of tiny quartz crystals.
Look: A soft, milky glow in shades of blue, white, pink, gray, or even green. The blue color comes from light scattering through the tiny crystals (just like the sky looks blue!) and small amounts of minerals like copper or iron.
Tough: Strong and durable, great for everyday wear.
Charm: Ancient cultures believed chalcedony brought peace, protection, and better communication.
Fun Fact: Unlike most crystals, chalcedony doesn’t grow in sharp shapes—it forms as tiny quartz crystals packed so tightly together that it looks smooth.
Found in: Brazil, USA, Turkey, Namibia, India.
m o o n s t o n e
Formation: Moonstone forms when two minerals mix and cool down in layers. Light reflects between these layers, creating a soft, glowing effect.
Look: A dreamy, glowing shimmer in shades of white, blue, peach, or gray.
Tough: Fairly soft, so it can scratch or chip easily—best for gentle wear.
Charm: Ancient people believed moonstone held the power of the moon, bringing calm, intuition, and good fortune.
Fun Fact: Its magical glow is called "adularescence," a special light effect that looks like moonlight floating inside the stone.
Found in: Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar, Myanmar, USA.
m o r g a n i t e
Formation: Think of morganite as a hidden treasure inside rocks! Warm, special water filled with tiny minerals sneaks into rock cracks. When the water cools, the minerals stick together and form pretty crystals with soft, gentle pastel colors.
Look: It shines in gentle hues—from soft pink and peach to other delicate pastels—that create a warm, captivating glow.
Durability: Tough enough for daily wear, though it benefits from a little extra care.
Charm: Cherished for its romantic vibe and soothing energy.
Fun Fact: Often called the “Stone of Love,” many believe it carries the energy of unconditional love and healing.
Found in: regions like Brazil, Madagascar, Mozambique, and more.

Formation: Nacre, also called "mother of pearl," is made by mollusks like oysters and mussels. They slowly coat the inside of their shells (and sometimes pearls) with thin layers of minerals to protect themselves.
Look: A smooth, glowing surface with a soft rainbow shimmer.
Tough: Strong but delicate—scratches easily but lasts for years with care.
Charm: Symbolizes wisdom, beauty, and protection, used in jewelry and art for centuries.
Fun Fact: The same material that makes pearls is also what gives some seashells their beautiful shine!
Found in: Inside the shells of oysters, mussels, and abalones, especially in warm ocean waters.
s u n s t o n e
Formation: Sunstone forms in cooling lava when tiny bits of copper or hematite get trapped inside the crystal structure. These tiny inclusions reflect light, creating its famous sparkle.
Look: A warm, glowing stone that shimmers with gold, orange, or red flashes.
Tough: Strong enough for jewelry but can get scratched, so it needs gentle care.
Charm: Ancient cultures believed sunstone brought energy, luck, and joy.
Fun Fact: Its sparkle is called "aventurescence", a natural shimmer that looks like sunlight dancing on the surface.
Found in: USA (Oregon), Norway, India, Canada, Russia.

Formation: Opal forms when water with tiny silica particles seeps into rock cracks. Over time, the water evaporates, and the silica stays behind, slowly stacking up in tiny layers. These layers scatter light, creating opal’s famous rainbow colors.
Look: Shimmers with rainbow colors that change in the light.
Tough: Not as hard as other stones, so it needs gentle care.
Charm: People once believed opal carried the power of all gems, bringing luck and creativity.
Fun Fact: Ancient Romans called it "opalus," meaning "precious stone," and saw it as a symbol of good fortune.
Found in: Australia, Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil, USA.
p e a r l
Formation: Pearls form inside oysters and mussels when they coat a tiny irritant (like a grain of sand) with layers of nacre, creating a smooth, shiny gem.
Look: Soft, glowing luster in shades of white, pink, gold, and even black.
Tough: Delicate but durable—needs gentle care to stay beautiful.
Charm: Pearls symbolize wisdom, purity, and protection, treasured for centuries.
Fun Fact: Unlike other gems, pearls come from living creatures, not rocks!

Why Do Gemstones Tarnish?
You might notice that mainly white or transparent gemstones getting darker, especially where they touch silver or gold-plated beads. It’s not ideal, but it’s a natural reaction that happens over time.
Why Does This Happen?
The darkening comes from oxidation and residue transfer. Silver and the base metals in gold-plated jewelry react with air, moisture, and skin oils, leading to tarnish. When these metals touch gemstones, tiny oxidation particles can settle on the stone’s surface, creating dark spots.
How to Fix It?
Good news - it’s easy to fix! Just gently wipe the dark spots with a cotton swab dampened with water or mild soapy water.
