Materials

Chosen with Intention.

Nothing is selected by chance. Every decision is guided by material integrity, skilled craftsmanship and a commitment to creating jewellery with lasting meaning.

An heirloom is not defined only by what it is made from, but by the life it witnesses, the stories it carries and the person it may one day be passed on to.

Materials are never static in our practice. They are chosen, tested and refined through time, wear and experience. What matters most is not only how a material looks at the moment of creation, but how it behaves in real life—how it ages, how it holds meaning and how it becomes part of someone’s daily ritual.

This philosophy guides every decision we make, from the first sketch to the final polish.

Design Led Approach

Our process begins with design rather than material constraint. We explore silhouette, scale and proportion first, then select the material that best serves the intention of the piece.

This allows us to move fluidly between fine jewellery and Demi-high jewellery expressions, always prioritising the strength of the design language.

Natural Gemstones

Natural gemstones sit at the centre of our work. Each is earth-mined and distinct; colour, inclusions and texture vary from stone to stone.

We select for the qualities that strengthen the design—whether that is unusual colour saturation, a particular cut or the character visible within the crystal. These natural differences are not flaws; they are part of the material.

A Gemstone Library Built Over Time

Since 2015, we have worked within the gemstone trade, sourcing and evaluating stones long before they enter a collection. This has resulted in a deep and evolving gemstone library, as well as long-standing relationships with trusted suppliers.

Some designs begin with a stone already in our archive. Others require a dedicated search defined by colour, origin, size or cut. In both cases, the gemstone informs and refines the design direction.

Start With a Gem

Signature Gold Colour

Across both our 18k solid gold and 18k vermeil, we use a custom-mixed gold tone developed by Monica. This signature colour is a warmer champagne gold, designed to sit naturally against a wide range of skin tones.

It is intentionally distinct—softer, more luminous and not found elsewhere in the market. This tone has become part of our visual identity, unifying all collections regardless of material category.

18k Solid Gold

Our personalised series, custom and bespoke pieces are created exclusively in 18k solid gold. We choose 18k for its balance of strength, richness and heritage—gold that is made to endure and be passed on.

We believe in the material depth and permanence of solid gold for pieces that carry personal meaning. These are not seasonal objects, but future heirlooms.

18k Gold Vermeil

(Prêt-à-Porter Collection)

Our 18k gold vermeil forms our prêt-à-porter collection, allowing for bolder, more expressive demi-high jewellery pieces at accessible price points.

We use a substantial layer of 18k gold over recycled sterling silver (2.5 micron or more)—never brass/copper—creating a precious-metal foundation with a refined finish. This approach allows us to explore scale, volume and statement design while maintaining material integrity.

A Living Material Philosophy

Care & Renewal

Our vermeil pieces are designed to evolve with wear. The surface may gently soften over time, reflecting the life of the piece. We offer a renewal service to replate and restore the original finish, extending the longevity of each design.

We see this as part of the natural lifecycle of jewellery—an ongoing relationship rather than a fixed state. With care, restoration and occasional renewal, each piece can continue its story for years to come.

Responsible Sourcing

We work closely with trusted partners to ensure our materials are sourced with care and transparency. Our gold is recycled wherever possible, and our gemstones are selected through long-standing relationships built on trust, traceability and shared standards.

We are continually refining our practices as better methods and materials become available, with a commitment to reducing impact while maintaining design integrity.

The Future of Materials

We see materials as an evolving conversation between craft, responsibility and design. As our practice grows, so too does our exploration of new approaches—whether through sourcing, production or rethinking how jewellery is made and worn.

What remains constant is our belief that materials should serve meaning, not excess.
