Materials & Safety
Heirloom-Quality Materials
We believe the pieces that celebrate life’s most meaningful moments should be made to last. That’s why almost our entire collection is crafted from fine jewelry materials, using solid 925 sterling silver and, where applicable, finished with beautiful 14k gold plating. A small number of specialty items—such as jewelry boxes, tie pins, and select accessories—may be made from other materials, noted in the product description. We do not use any base metals which can contain lead, cadmium or other metals, which are not considered safe for children.
Every sterling silver piece is protected with an added protected finish, to help resist tarnishing, scratches from everyday wear. We are committed to using only the highest-quality, ethically sourced, and safe materials in everything we create. Like all genuine gold and silver jewelry, proper care helps preserve the beauty and longevity of your piece. We encourage you to follow the recommended care instructions to keep your jewelry looking its best for years to come.
We are committed to bringing you only the safest, ethically sourced materials in everything we make.
.925 Sterling Silver
Our sterling silver jewelry is crafted from .925 sterling silver, consisting of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% additional metals, typically copper, to enhance strength and durability. Sterling silver is naturally hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin.
All of our sterling silver jewelry is free from lead, nickel, and cadmium, making it safe for children and adults alike. Each piece is finished with rhodium plating—a precious metal from the platinum family—that enhances shine, increases durability, and helps protect against tarnishing.
Sterling silver offers the perfect balance of timeless beauty, quality, and value, making it an ideal choice for everyday wear and treasured keepsakes.
14K-Gold over 925 Sterling Silver
For those who love the look of gold while appreciating the value of sterling silver, our 14k Gold-Plated Sterling Silver offers the best of both worlds. Each piece begins with a solid 925 sterling silver base and is finished with a .5 micron layer of genuine 14k gold.
Like our sterling silver jewelry, these pieces are hypoallergenic and free from lead, nickel, and cadmium, making them safe for sensitive skin and ears. The result is a beautiful, affordable alternative to solid gold without compromising on quality or style.
Designed with Safety First
Our customers are precious, and only the highest standards of quality, safety, and craftsmanship will do. That's why we use only carefully selected suppliers, materials, and maintain rigorous safety testing through certified third-party laboratories on an ongoing basis.
All of our jewelry meets or exceeds the requirements by CSPIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) and ASTM F 2923-11 (Standard Specification for Consumer Product Safety for Children’s Jewelry).
We take safety seriously throughout every stage of our manufacturing process. Our beaded jewelry pieces are hand-beaded in the USA by trained artisans using durable stainless steel wire rated at 21-pound break strength. We perform extensive safety testing, including breakaway force testing, mechanical pull and twist testing, and sharp-point evaluations to help ensure the integrity of every piece.
For necklaces, clasps are safety rated to release at or below 15-pounds of tension. We also incorporate thoughtful manufacturing details, such as looping directly through the lobster clasp rather than using open jump rings whenever possible, helping to improve durability and reduce the likelihood of breakage. Additionally, the majority of our charms are manufactured by us so they meet each of our specifications, including using soldered-closed jump rings for enhanced security.
These measures, combined with our commitment to premium materials and quality craftsmanship, help ensure that every piece is both beautiful and safe for the families who wear and cherish it.
Jewelry Safety for Children Under Three Years of Age
Small jewelry may present a choking hazard. We recommend children under three (3) years of age be supervised at all times while wearing our jewelry. Never leave a child under the age of three unattended while wearing any jewelry product. Remove all jewelry before napping, riding in a car seat, bath-time, unattended playtime, or bedtime.
