"North Star" Pendant / 925 Sterling Silver

Silver is a precious metal that has been known, and widely used, as currency and in jewellery making for millennia.

Sterling silver is an alloy first used in Europe around XII AD. The name sterling most likely originates from an Old English word steorling, meaning a little star, which was used as decoration on early Norman coins.

The 925 silver alloy is created by mixing pure silver (92.5% volume) and other metals, such as copper, zinc and platinum.

All of our products are handmade in small batches in our workshop and by our own design.

We don't hold stock of most items and most of our jewellery is made to order.

We only use natural stones - size and colour of the stone beads can vary slightly, so each piece is unique and different. Small imperfections in the stones are natural. We craft every silver piece by hand, from start to finish. It's not a factory product, small impressions, pores etc. are normal for silver jewellery. The tone of oxidizing may vary slightly from item to item as this is a natural process.

1. Clean your jewellery regularly.

The easiest method is using warm water with 1-2 drops of natural, mild soap. Wash the jewellery with your hands and pat dry with a soft cloth. A drop of natural oil can help bring the matte stones back to life - keep in mind that it will give them a bit of shine. Avoid getting it on the silver.

2. Store your jewellery properly.

If not worn, keep your pieces in the jewellery pouch or box. Not only you will avoid getting scratches on it, but prolonged exposure to sunlight and air can cause Silver to oxidize - a natural process of Silver getting darker. The patina can be removed with a jewellery cleaning cloth.

3. Put your jewellery on without straining it too much.

Beaded bracelets should be gently rolled onto your hand - avoid overly stretching it. Cuffs should be slipped on the narrowest part of your wrist or hand, without bending the metal too much. Their size can be easily adjusted, but keep in mind that excessive bending of metal can weaken it.

Adjust the size of your cuff only once just enough to slip your hand or wrist through. Open the cuff by stretching it while holding both ends, don't bend it in the middle.
