Beautiful quality, wonderful designs
I've purchased a number of rings and bracelets from here and they are all gorgeous! The quality is excellent, I love the sterling silver because I don't have to worry about taking anything off when washing my hands! The service was lovely too!

Dottie ring
Simple and charming
Love the elegance of the leaf - something about it and the silver colour gives me almost mythical vibes ;) . The hoops do seem a little thick/chunky in comparison to the sleek leaf, but not a major issue. Not sure if it's to do with my water hardness or the hair products I use when washing my hair with the earrings in, but they have developed a 'sticky' dull residue on the hoops. This can be cleaned off and is probably just a me problem, but I do like earrings that this doesn't happen for.
Overall though, beautiful and simple earrings that are easy to wear. <3

Gorgeous!!
Absolutely adorable earrings! The size of the bees and hoops is great. Did find it a little difficult to get the earrings in and secured, but after they were in I had no issues, and they were also easy to get out. Not sure whether it was more of a user issue or the way the hoops were bent, but when I put in a different set of the same style, I got them secured first try.
Overall, absolutely love the happiness these earrings bring. They also don't appear to be affected by being worn in chlorine water (important to me as a swimming instructor), which is a testament to their quality.

About Your purchase
Sterling Silver Jewellery Care
- Keep them away from moisture, perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, hair products and chlorinated water. Especially with stoned jewellery, these chemicals might make the stones dull.
- Wipe them dry thoroughly if they get wet.
- Sterling silver is quite soft. Consider taking them off when doing strenuous activities, heavy lifting or tasks that may cause scratches and damages.
- Polish them regularly with a silver polishing cloth to maintain their shines.
- When not worn, store them in an airtight bag or anti-tarnish pouch.
Sterling Silver
925 Sterling Silver composes of 92.5% pure silver and the remaining is other metals (such as copper). The added metal makes Sterling Silver stronger and more durable than pure silver. Our jewellery is all lead, cadmium and nickel free.
Gold Plated Pieces
Our gold pieces are plated with 24k gold. Most of our gold pieces are flash gold-plated (0.05 microns), except rings are 0.25 microns or more. As they flash gold-plated (hence the affordable price), they need extra care to maximise their colour. Avoid contact with perfume, water, chlorine, etc. to slow down the colour fading process. Additionally, please be aware that the areas that are exposed to more frictions (especially rings) tend to fade quicker and they will gradually fade back to silver. As each person cares for their jewellery differently, we do not offer guarantee on the gold colour lasting.
Silver coating and Rhodium coating
Silver coating
Unless otherwise specified, most of our silver pieces are coated with a 2 micron thick of pure Silver on top of Sterling silver, plus an E-coat layer (an ultra-fine layer of organic lacquer) that helps improving their water and tarnish resistance. This gives the pieces an extra layer of white and bright shine. However, pure silver is prone to tarnishing when exposed to air, moisture and skin oils. Therefore, they require regular cleaning to maintain their shine. Use a silver polishing cloth to wipe the tarnish away. If the tarnish is left to build up over time, you might need to get your jewellery professionally cleaned.
Rhodium coating
Rhodium delivers unmatched durability and brilliant brightness, naturally boosting the aesthetics and longevity of any metal jewellery. Rhodium is slightly darker than silver and brings out the strikingly bright colours of opals, crystals or cubic zirconia stones. Though higher in cost, Rhodium is highly resistant to scratches and tarnish, making. Hence, minimal maintenance is required.
You can read more about each coating here.
Hypoallergenic
Generally, Sterling Silver is hypoallergenic due to the high silver content. However, some people might still have reactions to Sterling Silver if they have severe metal allergies.
Sterling Silver Delicacy
Due to high silver content, Sterling Silver is quite delicate. So don’t panic if you see your jewellery warped slightly (especially at the posts). You can use your fingers and gently reshape it.
Ethically Sourced, Sustainably Made (more info here)
They are ethically sourced and made in Thailand. Your jewellery doesn't need to cost the earth. Wear your jewellery with peace of mind that it has been ethically sourced, and is made from 100% recycled silver by fairly paid employees who work in a safe environment. We and our suppliers consistently strive to minimise their carbon footprint.
Water and tarnish-resistant
Water and Tarnish-resistant vs. Water and Tarnish-proof
As each person cares for their jewellery differently, we do not offer guarantee on the gold colour lasting.
Water and Tarnish-resistant vs. Water and Tarnish-proof
It is not true to say that Sterling Silver is tarnish-proof. Sterling Silver oxidises naturally. However, with the E-coat method, our pieces are safe to be in casual contact with water (such as shower water) for a certain period of time. Water will eventually oxidise Sterling Silver but it can be easily polished to get back its shininess. Sterling Silver comprises of 7.5% copper. I would not describe them as water & tarnish-proof. It is just the matter of time when the E-coat layer wears off. But again, they can be polished and look like new.
Chlorinated water (swimming pool water) and salt water (sea water) and other chemicals such as perfume, lotion, hair products, etc. are extremely corrosive to silver. We highly recommend that you take your jewellery off when getting into the shower, the pool or the ocean or get in contact with chemicals (especially with gold plated pieces as they won’t get their colour back). Good news is if they get tarnished, you can polish them using a Silver polishing cloth to get back their shine.
Types of Plating
E-coating
Also known as known as electro-deposition or electro-coating. This is a method that uses an electrical current to coat a metal surface with an organic lacquer. This ultra-fine layer of plastic is a form of plating, designed to significantly improve your jewellery’s tarnishing resistance. All of our pieces are coated with an E-coat layer, except Rhodium plated pieces.
Silver Plating
This is an extra layer of pure silver onto 925 Sterling Silver. This gives the pieces an extra layer of white and bright shine. However, pure silver is prone to tarnishing when exposed to air, moisture and skin oils.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, this type of plating on our pieces will almost always be two microns thick. Therefore, they require regular cleaning to maintain their shine. Use a silver polishing cloth to wipe the tarnish away.
Rhodium Plating
Rhodium is a silver hard metal found in platinum ores. This noble metal offers wearers a stunningly bright finish with long-lasting wear. When applied as plating, Rhodium delivers unmatched durability and brilliant brightness, naturally boosting the aesthetics and longevity of any metal jewellery. Rhodium is slightly darker than silver and brings out the strikingly bright colours of opals, crystals or cubic zirconia stones. Though higher in cost, Rhodium is highly resistant to scratches and tarnish, making. Hence, minimal maintenance is required.
Gold Plating
A thin layer of almost pure gold (24k) is deposited onto the surface of the sterling silver jewellery’s base. Rings are typically plated with a minimum of 0.25 microns or more, seeing as these items are more exposed to wear and tear daily whereas other pieces are flash gold-plated (approx. under 0.175 microns). As they are flash gold-plated, they will gradually fade back to silver.
