The first in China to finish diamond silver in 18K.

Why 18K over silver, not solid gold

Solid 18K gold is priced on its metal content. A pendant weighing 6.5 g carries several hundred dollars of gold before a single diamond is set — money that sits in the metal rather than in the piece you actually see. We finish solid 925 sterling silver in 18K gold instead: the same warm colour and the same wear surface, at a fraction of the cost.

Most silver jewelry on the market is flash-plated at one micron or less. Our finish is applied thicker, at 18K, after the stones are set — which is the harder way round, because the plating bath can loosen pavé if it is done carelessly. It also means the millgrain and the prongs keep their colour instead of turning pale at the edges after a season.

“The stone is what you are buying. The metal is what holds it. We spend accordingly.”

The stones

Every piece in this collection is set with lab-grown diamonds graded D–E colour and VS–VVS clarity — the top two colour grades and the top two clarity grades, which is unusual at this price and is only possible because the stones are grown rather than mined.

Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, optically and physically identical to mined ones; the difference is where they spend their first month. We buy ours from growers we have worked with for years, and we can supply the grading report for any piece on request.

How an order actually runs

Nothing is sitting in a warehouse. Once your order and payment are confirmed, the piece is picked from stock or cast, the stones are set by one jeweller, the finish is applied, and it is photographed against the actual serial number before it is boxed. Three to five working days in a normal week.

Around Chinese public holidays the workshop closes and couriers slow down, so dispatch dates move. We would rather tell you that up front than let a promised date slip quietly.

Trade, custom and private label

We produce for other brands. If you need a piece developed — a CAD model, a stone layout, a finish sample — send a reference and we will come back with a quote and a lead time. There is no minimum for a first sample; production runs start at 30 pieces per style.
