FAQs

Rings are sized based on standard US sizing (more info here). There can be a +/- 0.15mm fluctuation in size due to the handmade nature of the rings, but I work hard to stay true to size.

I intentionally keep my stock of production materials lean. This approach aligns with my dedication to slow, sustainable fashion. If there is a design you are interested in that is currently "unavailable", I recommend joining my newsletter for updates. You can also always reach out here.

This varies based on design. You can find the estimated shipping info for each piece in their description-- look for “Estimated Ship Date”. If you ordered more than one piece, it’s safe to assume that the design with the longest timeline is the best estimate.

I encourage daily wear but within reason. Fine jewelry is delicate so working out, showering and sleeping in your jewelry increases your risk of damage or loss. I remove my rings before applying hair, face and body products as they can leave behind residues that trap dirt and dull your jewelry. As for the beach, beware; sand is coarse and can leave scratches on polished metals.

Basic cleaning can be done at home using a soft bristled toothbrush, mild dish soap and warm water. Scrub gently to remove dirt and oils. For a deeper clean, I suggest purchasing an ultrasonic cleaner.

Tension is key to backings staying in place. Over time the little loops can get stretched out and a little space develops between them. Try tightening them by pinching the loops back together.

Jewelry is an age-old industry ready for change, and I work hard to find suppliers that take responsibility for their impact on the planet. I make a point to carefully read the information available on a supplier’s website and contact them directly to discuss business practices, supply chain and in-house production.

I purchase raw materials and gemstones from suppliers in California, Louisiana, Virginia and New York. They recycle and refine post-consumer precious metals in-house and manufacture raw materials for production, such as wire, sheet metal, chain and findings. Two of my metal suppliers are SCS Global Services certified for 100% recycled precious metal. Others are smaller, family-owned businesses that aren't seeking certification but vouche for their recycled precious metal content.

As for my diamond and gemstone suppliers, they specialize in post-consumer reclaimed, lab-grown, and pre-consumer deadstock.

Recycling and refining jewelry has been part of the industry since the beginning as precious metals are too valuable to waste. The recycled gold and silver I purchase from my suppliers was once in old jewelry, dental fillings, tech industry parts, and scraps from fabrication.

I prioritize purchasing certified recycled precious metal for my work, but it’s not always available. Rings and earrings are made with 100% SCS Global Services certified recycled gold and silver. Designs that feature chain, such as necklaces and bracelets, are made from a mix of certified and uncertified recycled gold and silver.

A loose diamond previously set in jewelry that is reintroduced into the supply chain. This happens most often when old jewelry is recycled. During the metal refining process, the diamonds are removed for resale.

Lab-grown, lab-created, cultured- these are all used to describe a diamond grown under extreme heat and pressure mechanically in a lab versus in the ground by Earth. The science behind it is the same as Earth-grown, so the final product is a real diamond.

I purchase post-consumer reclaimed and lab-grown colored gemstones from trusted suppliers in the USA. Sometimes I get lucky and come across unwanted jewelry from which I can remove the gems. Designs with colored gemstones are few and far between in my shop because there are fewer lab-grown options and the secondary market isn’t as robust for small gemstones.
