Treated or not: the word every stone listing owes you
Heat, oil, irradiation. What each does, why it is fine, and why hiding it is not.

The signet, 18ct gold, photographed at actual size
Made in our own workshop
Every piece states its metal, its weight in grams, and whether the stone has been treated — including when the answer is yes.
Metal and stone
Weights are measured on the finished piece. Where a figure is nominal we have said so.
Stone treatments and metal purity are stated per piece. Where a fact is not established, the page says so.
The collection
Made by hand
A piece made by a person is worth saying so about. This is the bench it was made on, who made it, and the hours it took.
Times are the bench hours logged against this design, not an average.
Tested, not claimed
The steel, the crystal and the pressure test, with the certificate on file. Rows below are for the current run.
Figures are for the current production run.
Made at our own bench
Every ring, chain and pair of earrings carries the metal, the purity, the stone and every treatment it has had. Where something is not established, the page says so.
Questions
Measure the inside of a ring you already wear across its widest point, in millimetres, and match it to the size chart on every product page. Or order the free plastic sizer — it ships the same day, and one resize within the first year is free.
Every stone's treatment is stated on its product page: heated, unheated, filled or dyed. Where we do not know, the page says not established rather than guessing. Nothing is described as natural unless the assay says so.
Solid gold does not tarnish. Sterling silver will darken slowly with wear; a polishing cloth brings it back in a minute. Every silver piece ships with one, and plated pieces are labelled as plated.
60 days on unworn pieces, full refund. Resized and engraved pieces are made for you, so they cannot be returned — which is why the free sizer exists. Insured courier both ways, signed for.
From the bench
Heat, oil, irradiation. What each does, why it is fine, and why hiding it is not.
Four words that decide how long a piece lasts. In order of what to expect.
Two methods that work and the one that does not, with the chart.
