Frequently asked questions
Is the jewellery waterproof?
Yes. Real freshwater pearls on gold-plated stainless steel. Shower, sea, pool and sweat are all fine. Rinse with fresh water after the sea and it keeps its shine.
Will it tarnish or turn my skin green?
No. The metal is stainless steel with 18K gold plating, not brass. Stainless steel does not react with skin, so there is nothing underneath to oxidise.
What materials do you use?
Real freshwater pearls, natural stone beads on the coloured pieces, and 18K gold-plated stainless steel for the toggle and findings. Every strand is knotted by hand between the pearls.
How does the clasp work?
The gold toggle sits at the front. Drop the bar through the ring and it is closed. One hand, no mirror, no fumbling behind your neck.
