Our Principles

  secondary

We prioritise slow and intentional creation. Each piece is either one-of-a-kind or made on request. In our small and sustainable studio, we embrace mindful production over mass manufacturing.

  secondary

We use only recycled metals, honouring their potential for infinite renewal. We welcome you to give us your old/broken/overused jewellery for melting and repurposing gemstones. Our metals are completely pure, as we test all gold and silver for purity and provide you with a hallmark.

  secondary

Every piece is either entirely hand-fabricated from scratch or made with CAD and then hand-finished. Our jewellery process is about patience and precision; this dedication ensures each design is unique and finely made.

  secondary

We use only natural gemstones, carefully sourced and shaped by nature over millions of years—never lab-created. As our founder is a GIA-certified gemologist, we can ensure that each gemstone is authentic. We also provide lab certification upon request to guarantee the stone's origin and quality.

  secondary

Our designs draw inspiration from the organic forms, textures, and colours of the natural world. From intricate depictions of animals and delicate floral patterns to interpretations of natural phenomena like waves and clouds, each piece is meant to connect the wearer to the natural world.

  secondary

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. From responsible sourcing to small-batch production, we minimise our carbon footprint at every step, ensuring our impact on the planet is as gentle as possible.

  secondary

Our pieces are designed to be cherished for a lifetime and beyond. Nothing is ever plated and is guaranteed to look the same for generations. Our gold and silver alloys are strong and do not scratch easily, but if they ever do, we will re-polish them free of charge.

  secondary

Jewelry transcends boundaries, and our designs are for everyone. We create pieces celebrating individuality and self-expression, embracing beauty free from traditional gender labels.

  secondary

Each piece tells a story, which we bring out with collaborative and thoughtful design, weaving narratives into every creation. We encourage and hope for custom designs so that you can help you wear your story on your body.
