From the maker
Will it tarnish?
Not if it stays dry. Perfume, water and sweat are what wear a finish down — so it goes on last and comes off first.
Is it heavy?
No. Crocheted wire is mostly air. The exact grams are in Size & weight below — most pieces weigh less than a AA battery.
Will mine look like the photos?
Recognisably — and slightly its own. Each piece is crocheted by hand in small runs, so no two are identical.
Size & fit
One size · 4.5 × 4.5 cm · 13 g the pair.
Posts and hooks are 925 sterling silver.
Materials
Natural abalone shell in 18K gold-plated petal settings, pearl centre, 925 silver posts.
Natural abalone shell; freshwater pearl; 18K gold-plated brass; 925 sterling silver posts
Care
Last on, first off. On after perfume and lotion, off before water and before bed.
Stored flat, in its box. Crocheted wire keeps its shape unless it is crushed — one piece per box, not loose in a pouch.
Shell and plating both dislike perfume and water: last on, first off. Wipe with a soft cloth, store in the box. Treat it like something you plan to keep.

Material & finish
Natural abalone shell pieces set into four 18K gold-plated petals, a freshwater pearl at the centre. No two pairs share a pattern.

Size & weight
4.5 × 4.5 cm, 13 g the pair. A stud, so the weight sits on the post — you'll know it's there.

Care
Shell scratches: wipe with a soft cloth, keep away from perfume, store in the box, not loose.

Worn with
The Sage or Mist pieces in the sleep line — the shell picks up either. Hair back.

Complete the Look
How it’s made
Pieces of natural abalone or shell are set into metal petals one at a time. The colour moves with the light — green, violet, grey — and no two pieces share a pattern.
Our jewellery is brass or copper under the finish — palladium-white, 18K gold-plated, or silver-tone — with 925 sterling silver posts on every earring. Kept dry and away from perfume, the colour keeps. Worn in the shower, it won’t. Last on, first off.
Every piece arrives in a grey velvet Darette box — ready to keep on the dressing table, or to give. Inside a plain, unbranded parcel.

A box worth keeping
Grey velvet, a small gold clasp, cream inside. Your piece arrives sitting in it — ready for the dressing table, or for someone else. The parcel around it is plain and unbranded.
Store the piece flat in its box and it keeps its shape.
