Our cultured pearls are carefully selected from oysters and freshwater mussels.

What to know about wearing gold jewelry
  • 14k gold jewelry is more durable than 18k gold, which is softer and susceptible to scratching and bending.

  • Ultrasonic cleaners are safe to use on 14k gold jewelry.  

Gold Vermeil

Not to be confused with regular gold plating, our vermeil (pronounced ver-may) is a thick layer of 18k solid gold on sterling silver. It lasts longer and provides the look and feel of gold jewelry at a fraction of the price. 

What to know about wearing gold vermeil jewelry
  • Vermeil will naturally tarnish over time, especially when exposed to environmental factors like air pollution, moisture, and items that contain sulfur. 
  • It is easy to restore the shine of gold vermeil jewelry. 
How to store gold vermeil jewelry
  • Store in a safe, dry place—such as an anti-tarnish pouch or case—with the anti-tarnish strip that came with your purchase. This will help to protect your pieces when they are not being worn.
How to clean gold vermeil jewelry
  • Proactive maintenance is key. To keep tarnish from setting in, be sure to clean your pieces regularly by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth. 
  • To remove tarnish, buff gently with a polishing cloth.
  • Worth noting: polishing cloths can be abrasive so apply gentle pressure and don’t over polish.
Sterling Silver

925 Sterling Silver is a lightweight metal made of 92.5% pure silver. It’s highly durable and designed for everyday wear.

What to know about wearing sterling silver jewelry
  • Proactive maintenance is the best way to prolong the lifespan of sterling silver. 
  • Clean by wiping with a soft, damp cloth. To remove tarnish, buff gently with a silver polishing cloth.
  • Ultrasonic cleaners are safe to use on silver jewelry. 
  • Please note: If you’re wearing pieces made of oxidized silver, they will need to be cleaned differently. Oxidized silver products have a special finish, so we recommend a dry clean—no water or silver cleaning polish—otherwise finish may rub off entirely.
