Materials & Care
Know what you are choosing.
A little clarity about material, fit and care makes it easier to find a piece that feels right.
This is general guidance. Product images illustrate intended designs. Materials, dimensions, prices, fit and care for an individual piece must be confirmed on enquiry.
01 / Material
Colour and karat are different things.
Yellow, rose and white describe the appearance of gold jewellery. Karat describes its gold content. Two pieces may share a colour while differing in composition, and a photograph alone cannot establish either.
Finishes and any surface treatments also vary by piece. Before choosing, ask for the exact metal, karat, finish and any other material used in the design.
A colour shown in an illustration does not establish the finished metal or gold content. Ask for the exact specification of the piece you are considering.
02 / Gold content
What karat tells you.
Gold karat expresses the share of gold in an alloy out of 24 parts. For example, 18K indicates 18 parts gold out of 24; the remainder is other metals. It is one useful fact, but it does not describe the full design, its finish or how it should be cared for.
Available karat options vary by design. Ask for the metal and purity information for the piece you have in mind before deciding.
03 / Fit
Find your measure.
Rings
A ring that already fits the intended finger is the best starting point. Share its size, or ask for help measuring if you are unsure. Band width and profile can affect how a ring feels.
Bracelets
Measure where you prefer a bracelet to sit, then say whether you like a close or relaxed fit. An open cuff and a linked bracelet may need different measurements.
Earrings
Ask for the finished diameter or front size, how the piece sits on the lobe, and the type of closure or backing. Worn images give a styling impression rather than measured scale. Confirm whether the design is supplied singly or as a pair.
Kada
Share your wrist measurement and ask for the inner opening and band width. Confirm whether a design is open, hinged or adjustable before choosing; the worn images show styling rather than measured fit.
Chains
Measure a chain you already like from end to end and compare its length and fall. Ask for the finished length, link width and clasp type.
Cufflinks
Ask for the face dimensions and the reverse fastening. Check whether the design is supplied singly or as a pair, and confirm any lettering you would like.
Accessories
For a frame or band charm, share the dimensions or a photograph of your own item. Ask how the charm attaches and whether it will fit. The worn illustrations cannot establish compatibility.
Worn images illustrate styling, not measured scale or guaranteed fit. We will confirm the relevant dimensions for an individual design on enquiry.
04 / Care
Make room for the details.
As a general habit, store pieces separately to reduce rubbing and surface marks. Set jewellery aside for activities where it could be struck or caught, and keep it away from products that may leave residue.
Cleaning depends on the actual metal, finish and any stones or inlays. Ask for instructions specific to the piece before using cleaners, polishing cloths or ultrasonic equipment.
