Sterling Silver

  • Naturally tarnishes through exposure to the elements. Regular polishing with a silver cloth should keep your jewels sparkling.

  • I avoid using silver dip as it can be especially corrosive especially on porous gemstones and freshwater pearls.

  • Matt finish - I use a 'scotch brite' material to achieve the matt finish.

Gold Vermeil

  • This is where sterling silver is plated with a 3-micron layer of 24ct gold.

  • Gold vermeil is a surface finish and subject to wear may show signs of fading over time

Anodised Aluminium

  • Small sheets of pre-anodised aluminium are dyed freehand - this satisfies my design to paint! When the ink is dry, the aluminium is immersed in boiling water to seal the colour permanently into the surface.
