Our Materials

We take great pride in sourcing and collecting materials in their purest form that have been sourced in the best possible way, mostly by hand.

Being a sustainable brand, it is extremely important to us that the environment, animals and any people involved in our suppliers' supply chains are treated with the love and respect they deserve and aren't compromised in any way.

Below you find an overview of the materials that feature regularly in our designs and learn more about their origins.

Yellow Brass: all our brass objects are made from recycled brass. 

925 Sterling Silver: all our silver jewellery is made using recycled sterling silver. This means no new mining had to take place to make your silver jewellery.

18ct Gold Vermeil: a thick (at least 2.5 microns) coating of recycled gold is plated on a 925 sterling silver base.

9ct, 14ct or 18ct Gold: for our solid gold pieces we use recycled or fairtrade gold only.

Shells, Pebbles & Corals: all shells and pebbles used in our jewellery were hand picked and cleaned by us. We only use shells that have been found on the beach, discarded by its original owner. This applies to coral too, although we sometimes also use vintage coral branches (red).

Feathers: feathers have become very popular in recent fashion trends, and we want to assure you that all our feathers are cruelty free. This means that they have been naturally shed (or, molted as the correct definition would be) by the animals. We collect feathers from a small number of UK aviaries, as well as organic farms. The feathers are picked up from the ground, washed and sorted, all by hand. Cruelty free feathers are hard to come by, and so the prices may fluctuate based on supply and demand. 

Freshwater Pearls: all our pearls are freshwater pearls which are typically found in lakes and rivers in China. In recent years, freshwater pearls have become very popular due to their increased quality and more affordable price. We source all our freshwater pearls from a reputable UK supplier who have had a long term and stable relationship with freshwater pearl farms in Asia. The pearls used in our jewellery generally range from 5mm - 15mm, with anything above 13mm considered to be more rare and valuable. The quality of pearls used ranges between AA and AAA.

Driftwood: any wood and driftwood (including branches) used in our products is gathered by hand by us in the UK.

Beads: the beads used in some of our designs are made from organic, plant based materials such as seeds, seedpods, pits. Although we plan to work more with home grown plant materials in the future, at the moment we source all our beads from our trusted supplier in Germany who hold close relationships with fair trade organisations in South America and Asia.
