Frequently asked questions
What is Vermeil-Style* ?
Using Karen Hill Tribe ‘Vermeil-style’ gold is between a 1-2 micron layer which is more than 40 times thicker than most gold-plated jewellery. The gold layer is under the 2.5-microns as defined by the Federal Trade Commission for Vermeil, so the term "Vermeil Style" is used instead to distinguish from other gold-plated jewellery.
Care instructions
Take care to roll your piece on and off rather than stretch it out and on, this should help to prevent the beads gathering in places and prolong the life of the thread.
Avoid contact with chemicals and alcohols. I have tested them with regular hand washing and using hand sanitisers and although most faired well, prolonged exposure is not recommended.
The rose gold treated hematite is the only one that changed in colour when using hand sanitiser, washing hands with soap and water did not affect it.
It's recommended to remove you gems before showering, bathing and exercise to prolong it’s life and lustre.
My beads get stuck - what can I do?
Due to the hand cut tiny size of the bead holes they can sometimes gather in places on the elastic and make it overstretched.
It's recommended to roll the piece on and tease if necessary when on to even them out - Always start at one side of the cover bead/s and even out around to the other side.
Can gemstones really heal me?
I have personally benefitted from the healing energies of gemstone jewellery and their healing properties are widely known and publicised, but for legal reasons I'm obligated to state that all products and information provided are not intended for use in diagnosis, treatment, cure, or mitigation of any disease.
There are no guarantees of efficacy, nor is my jewellery intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice. You should always consult a qualified health professional for advice regarding a medical or psychological condition.
What is reiki infused jewellery?
As a qualified Reiki Master I have infused each piece with Reiki energy to magnify it’s healing power.
This charges objects with a protective, positive energy and will increase the effectiveness of each gemstone’s natural healing vibrations.
Gift wrapping and packaging
I do love that feeling of opening something that’s wrapped beautifully.
So to create that perfect gift experience, whether it's for you or your loved one I have created a handcrafted, textured, printed holding card with information about your gemstones and care instructions.
It’s placed within a fold-able and brand stamped card envelope, wrapped in tissue paper and posted to you in a post-box sized Eco-friendly packaged box.
Check out my shop videos to see “the making of”
Do let me know if you need something even more extra special. I can tie the box with string and wrap with paper so the box isn’t damaged in transit or have postage labels on.
Sizing details
If you want a size not on offer I can make it for you.
Ring sizes vary and due to the stretch nature there is give in them, a ½ size will fit 2 sizes, for example K½ will fit K-L or K will fit J½-K½.
Bracelet sizes vary and it depends how loose/tight you like to wear yours. It's best to measure with a string and then measure against a ruler if you don't have a flexible tape measure.
- For charm bracelets I recommend 1cm bigger than your wrist size to hang loose and drop around your hand.
- For plain bands order ½cm bigger than your wrist size. They won't hang loose, but fit snugly for stacking.
