Metal and Plating

925 sterling silver means 92.5% silver content, which is the standard definition of sterling silver. Plating — rhodium or gold — is chosen per style and specified with a thickness, because the plating is what decides how the piece ages.

Orders and Lead Times

Stock preparation runs 1–2 working days; new production runs about 5–7 working days after the sample and artwork are approved. Opening quantities are agreed per style.

Documents and Certificates

Certificates follow the stones in the order, and packaging documents are prepared against your shipping method. Third-party certificates can be arranged when a market requires them.
