What materials do you use?

Our jewellery is crafted using a variety of high-quality materials, which are always listed on each individual product page.

Our collections include:

  • 18k Gold Plated Stainless Steel
  • Stainless Steel
  • Sterling Silver (925)
  • Gold Filled
  • Gold Plated Copper
  • Brass

Many of our bestselling pieces are made from 18k gold plated stainless steel and Sterling Silver (925), making them waterproof, tarnish resistant and perfect for everyday wear.

For pieces made from other materials, we recommend following our jewellery care advice below to help keep them looking beautiful for longer.

Jewellery Care

Every piece deserves a little love.

The best way to care for your jewellery depends on the material it's made from, so we always recommend checking the product description for specific care information.

Waterproof & Tarnish Resistant Jewellery

Our stainless steel and sterling silver 925 collections are designed for everyday wear and can be worn while washing your hands or caught in the rain. These items are marked throughout our website as 'tarnish resistant' and 'waterproof' so look out for these signs! 

To keep them looking their best, we still recommend avoiding unnecessary exposure to harsh chemicals such as bleach or cleaning products.

Gold Plated Jewellery

Gold plated jewellery should be treated with a little extra care to help preserve its beautiful finish.

For longer-lasting shine, we recommend:

  • Removing jewellery before showering or swimming.
  • Avoiding direct contact with perfumes, lotions and skincare products.
  • Removing jewellery before exercising.
  • Storing pieces in a jewellery box or soft pouch when not being worn.
  • Wiping gently with a soft jewellery cloth after use.

Following these simple steps will help keep your jewellery looking beautiful for years to come.

Ring Size Guide

We use UK ring sizes across our website.

Not sure which size you need?

Option 1

Measure the inside diameter of a ring you already own.

Option 2

Wrap a strip of paper around your finger where you'd like the ring to sit, mark where it overlaps and measure the length in millimetres.

💍 Size 52 is our most popular ring size.

Many of our rings are adjustable and are listed as One Size on the product page. If a ring is adjustable, this will always be clearly stated in the product description.
