Josephine Pendant

All of our jewellery is made using 100% recycled solid 9ct Gold and every item is hallmarked by the London Assay Office.  The hallmark is a very small marking which is stamped or lasered on to the inside of every precious metal/item we manufacture which guarantees it conforms to the standards of purity and has been independently tested.  The marking for 9ct Gold is 375 which means it is 37.5% pure gold. The other alloys used in this metal consist of copper, zinc and silver.

*A small selection of our slider bracelets are made from 18ct Gold. These will be hallmarked 750 which means they are 75% pure gold*

All of our white gold metal is rhodium plated.  Rhodium is a chemical element that is applied to all white gold which naturally has a yellowy tinge to it to improve the appearance of it, making it whiter and brighter.  You will need to return your white gold items to us likely every few years to be re-plated which will completely restore them to their original condition. This can be done for a cost of £45. 

Please note, when purchasing either a pendant or necklace, all of our chains are made in adjustable lengths of either 20 inch with an adjuster to 18 inches, or 18 inch with an adjuster to 16 inches.

We offer a choice of either lab grown diamonds or cubic zirconia stones in every piece of jewellery we make. Please find more information about both of these options below.

Lab Grown Diamonds -

A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond. It is chemically, physically and optically identical to a natural mined diamond, the only difference being that is has been formed within a laboratory over a 6-10 week period whereas a natural diamond is formed beneath the Earths’ mantle around 100 miles underground.  A lab-grown diamond is usually formed during a process called HPHT where a seed is placed amidst pure graphite carbon and exposed to immense pressure and extreme temperatures of approximately 1,500C. This process imitates one of a naturally formed mined diamond. A lab grown diamond will have the same brilliance as a natural diamond.

Cubic Zirconia Stones –

A man-made synthetic gemstone consisting of zirconium dioxide which looks almost identical to a natural diamond, in fact it's very hard to determine any difference certainly from afar.  It is usually completely colourless although can be made in different colours. It is formed when zirconium oxide powder is melted and stabilised at a high temperature, once cooled it is then cut and polished, similar to that of a diamond. It is reasonably hard wearing although not as hard wearing as a natural or lab grown diamond so does need to be worn with care.
