In an effort to respect and protect the environment I use silver clay a material which contains filaments of fine silver recycled from high tech industries mixed with a non toxic binder, my jewellery boxes and bags are made from recycled cardboard.
Please be aware gold plating is a micron thick layer of gold applied to silver finished with a thin layer of renaissance wax to give it protection. Over time wear and harsh silver cleaners may affect the appearance. Careful storage is advised and removing the piece when showering, swimming etc. See care of you jewellery for more information. If you find your piece has signs of wear in the first year of purchase I will re-plate it for you free of charge.
