Jewellery Information & Aftercare

Product Information 

All items are handmade in the UK and variations may occur.  Stated dimensions are accurate within reason.

All silver used is sterling or fine silver, the gold is 18ct and all are subject to British hallmarking standards at the London Assay office.

Where gold plating or gold vermeil is used the pieces are hallmarked as silver.

Where non-precious materials are used the items are still subject to hallmarking with the appropriate metal mark.

Some items are too lightweight to require hallmarking by the Assay office. These items are legally sold as silver or gold.

Ring orders

To ensure you order the correct sized ring Petra would recommend you come to her to be measured - this is necessary for double rings, however if you are unable to visit her workshop then you will need to be sized at a reputable jewellers. Whilst we try to make sure that the colours of products are displayed accurately on the site, the actual colours that you see on your computer may vary depending on the monitor that you use.
