Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What components are used in the jewellery?

Our jewellery is made for high quality materials including:

Swarovski Crystals/Pearls We choose to use Swarovski crystals and pearls in our designs as they are one of the finest manufacturers worldwide. The crystals have superior faceting and spakle brilliantly. Swarovski pearls have a crystal centre with a durable pearl coating.
Sterling Silver Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy metal (usually copper). The alloy is used to provide more durability are pure silver alone is too soft. Sterling silver does not wear and can be easily cleaned.
14K Gold Filled

14K Gold Filled components have an outer layer of 14K gold which is pressure bonded to a brass core. The gold filled layer is about 100 times thicker than gold plated and does not wear down.

* Silver plated, rhodium plated and gold plated components are used where sterling silver and 14K gold filled are not available. This is clearly mentioned in the description of each piece of jewellery.

How long do orders take to complete?

"Made to Order" items are generally completed within 3 - 4 weeks (excluding delivery time).  However, colour specific and 14K Gold Filled items may take up to 6 weeks.  This is due to the fact that we do not carry all colours and order them on a "as need" basis.  You will be notified if completion is not expected within this timeframe.  If you require jewellery for a specific event, it is recommended that you order at least 6 - 8 weeks prior.

"Made to order" items will generally be posted within 3 - 6 weeks. If ordering a "Readymade item", this will be posted as soon as payment is received.

If ordering a combination of "Made to Order" and "Readymade" items, this will generally be posted within 3 - 6 weeks when the entire order is complete.

These are only suggested time frames. Some order may be posted sooner and other may take longer. We will notify you if unable to deliver within the recommended time frame.

Do you ship outside of Australia?

unfortunately, we do not post outside of Australia.

How do I care for my jewellery?

All metals, whether they are non-precious or precious are prone to tarnish. Tarnish occurs as a result of metals reaction with chemicals in the air. We recommend you store your jewellery in air-tight zip-lock bags for protection (these are provided with each piece of jewellery). It is also important that after wear, you wipe each piece with a soft polishing cloth and place back into zip-lock bag.  Store in a cool dry area, away from direct sunlight.

If tarnish does occur you may use a jewellery polishing cloth or a silver dip cleaner (available from jewellery stores).
