Yes!

Q: Do you use Recycled Sterling Silver?

Yes!

All of our silver wire , sheets and casted parts come from refined precious metals, sourced from industries other than mining. Scraps are refined and recycled to meet a highly consistent standard and to make them suitable for use in jewelry.

Q: Do you use any protectors or sealers to prevent silver from tarnishing ?

Currently the only protector we use for sterling silver and oxidized silver is the Renaissance® wax paste. This wax was developed by the British Museum research laboratories to polish and preserve art work. This wax cleans, buffs, polishes and protects against tarnish, oils, dirt and fingerprints with just a small dab.

We are always researching & trying different products in order for our jewelry to be tarnish resistant and friendly for the skin.
