MATERIALS
STONES
The stones are laboratory-grown cz from zirconium dioxide – cz base, that boast fine colour, no colour mixing, and a superb cut, which result in a beautiful duplication of nature.
100% conflict free stones. These are not carbon stones, created stones are very hard, heat resistant, and reflect light just like a diamond.Â

NATURAL GEMSTONES
ALEXANDRITE
Alexandrite is the very rare color-change variety of the mineral chrysoberyl. Colours can change from blue, red to teal, green and purple. Originally discovered in Russia’s Ural Mountains in the 1830s, it’s now found in Sri Lanka, East Africa, and Brazil, but is exceptionally rare and valuable.
Our Alexandrite’s are lab grown and the material is the same as best varieties of the natural Alexandrite – Russian, Brazilian or Rhodesian. Natural Alexandrite is extremely rare and more expensive than even diamonds, especially in large carat stones.
HYDROTHERMAL LAB GROWN STONES
The hydrothermal growth process is a slow process. This requires heat and pressure imitating the conditions deep in the earth that result in the formation of natural gems.
METALS
We only cast in solid metals
Metals we use :
Sterling silver
Gold – 10k, 14k and 18k
Platinum
BLACK RHODIUM
Black rhodium plating – This is a process of plating over sterling silver, gold or platinum.
The plating will wear over time exposing the sterling silver, gold or platinum.
Black rhodium rings are not fully black, rings will be somewhat light black in colour.
We do our best to get as black as possible but the process varies each time.
