MATERIALS
Each piece is individually handmade to the highest standard using carefully selected semi-precious gemstones alongside sterling silver, oxidised Sterling Silver, gold vermeil (22ct gold-plate on sterling silver) and occasionally gold-filled components (14k gold on a base metal, see below) unless otherwise stated. For increased functionality and durability, nylon coated stainless steel is usually used to string the beads.
Sterling silver: in the UK is 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. The copper toughens the silver and makes it possible to use for jewellery
Oxidised silver: Sterling silver treated with a chemical process that colours the outer surface of silver. With wear, oxidation will often diminish or fully rub off in highly touched areas. Time scale can not be guarantee or determined.
Gold Vermeil: 22ct gold-plate on sterling silver.
Gold-filled: Gold-filled jewellery is composed of a solid layer of gold bonded with heat and pressure to a base metal such as brass. Gold-filled items are 50 to 100,000 times thicker than regular gold plating. As a result, gold-filled items, even with daily wear, can last up to 30 years, making them both beautiful to wear and very durable.
DESCRIPTIONS DISCLAIMER
Katherine Bree Jewellery is designed and handcrafted in London, UK. Each piece is created using natural materials and there may be slight variations in measurement due to the handmade nature of the jewellery. Colours may vary from the photos due to variations in computer monitors and natural variations in the stones. Similar gemstones may be substituted if the originals become unavailable.
