Our gemstones are left in their natural, unpolished state, showcasing their unique imperfections, which we believe only adds to their charm and individuality.

Using the copper electroforming technique, copper electrolytes are deposited over hours in a copper-acid solution, resulting in organic textures that are truly one-of-a-kind. Each pendant symbolizes love and carries a deep sense of meaning.

Please be aware that the colour of copper darkens over time, and the item can be cleaned using a sachet of Copperbrite and a soft cloth. (Available here)

Copper can potentially turn the skin green as it reacts with the chemicals in some skins. A coat of clear nail polish will prevent this.

About Ruby:

Ruby and sapphire (the blue form of corundum), are siblings and they are the hardest stones after diamonds, scoring a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. The first written references to ruby deposits come from the 6^th century AD.

Rubies are associated with intense passion, good luck, contentment, success, energy, enthusiasm and personal inspiration. Some even believe they have the power to attract and maintain love!
