We design and make 925 sterling silver jewellery, from deity and faith pendants to iced-out hip hop pieces. Our guides cover silver purity, care and the meaning behind each design, so you can buy with confidence.

What we write about

  • Silver purity: what 925 and sterling mean, how hallmarks work and how to spot fake silver. Start with 925 silver vs sterling silver.
  • Jewellery styles: plain-English guides to the names and types of earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets.
  • Meaning and tradition: why people wear silver rings, chains, kadas, anklets and pendants, and what astrology and Ayurveda say about them.
  • Care: how to clean silver at home and keep it from tarnishing.

How we write our guides

We write about the metal and designs we work with every day. When a guide covers astrology, Ayurveda or tradition, we say clearly that these are beliefs rather than proven facts, and we suggest speaking to a doctor or your own astrologer where that matters. If something in a guide is out of date or unclear, contact us and we will fix it.
