The materials we use for our jewels are:

Bronze, Copper, Silver, Gold, Plating and Enamels.

Bronze
It is a material composed mainly of copper, it is enriched with tin up to 8-9% giving rise to alloys with good mechanical characteristics and great resistance to corrosion: these alloys can still be worked plastically and can be laminated, extruded, forged, printed and drawn . Further increasing the tin content, the hardness reaches levels that allow only pieces obtained by fusion, also called jets.
The bronze is changeable from atmospheric agents, therefore we recommend the purely ornamental use avoiding liquids and long-lasting deposits on the skin to avoid marks or spots on the skin.
Maintenance: for a good duration of the object it is advisable to use specific cleaning products and to avoid the immersion of the object in salt and sweet water. These products are born to be used and lived to give them the ancient nuance.

Antique bronze

they are jewels treated with pastes, enamels, or reagents that really make the metal with ancient effects, they are delicate jewels and should not be used with water, soaps, acids or stressed and rubbed. This is to keep their original antiqued, delicate product especially for those who have a strong sweating

Copper

In all likelihood, copper is the metal that humanity has been using for the longest time: copper objects dating back to 8,700 BC have been found. Copper is changeable from atmospheric agents, therefore it is recommended to use purely ornamental, avoiding liquids and long-lasting deposits on the skin to avoid marks or spots on the skin.
Maintenance: for a good duration of the object it is advisable to use specific cleaning products and to avoid the immersion of the object in salt and sweet water. These products are born to be used and lived to give them the ancient nuance.

925% silver
It is a soft transition metal, white and shiny.
Silver is a very ductile and malleable monovalent metal, barely harder than gold, with a white metallic luster that is accentuated by polishing. It has the greatest electrical conductivity among all metals, even higher than that of copper, which, however, has greater diffusion due to the lower cost.
Silver is changeable from atmospheric agents, so we recommend using purely ornamental, avoiding liquids and long-lasting deposits on the skin.
Maintenance: for a good duration of the object it is advisable to use specific cleaning products and to avoid the immersion of the object in salt and sweet water. We advise periodically to have the jewels polished by authorized laboratories to make them as new.

925% silver – antiqued

the jewels antiqued in silver are very susceptible to soaps, acids, iron, water. Their components are treated with abrasive pastes, or natural effects that remain delicate when rubbed. Delicate jewels especially for those who have strong sweating.

Gold 750 (18 Kt)

It is a precious material, known and highly appreciated by humans since prehistoric times. Most likely it was the first metal ever used by the human species (before copper) for the manufacture of ornaments, jewels and ritual objects. Gold 750 (also called 18 carat Kt) and which can be white, yellow or pink, means that 750 per thousand (or 75%) is composed of pure gold, while the remaining 250 per thousand (or 25%) from other metals . Based on these added metals, gold takes on different colors. It is unassailable to most atmospheric agents. It is advisable to avoid prolonged use in contact with soaps, perfumes, acids to maintain its shine. Only treat with special cloths. We advise periodically to have jewelry polished by authorized laboratories.

Rhodium-platings
It is a well-known and used plating technique for decades. The components of the Jewel are immersed in a Ruthenium or gold chemical bath crossed by electric currents. This electro-chemical technique causes ions of gold or ruthenium or other metals to settle on the components, negatively charging them and thus forming a layer of a few microns.
Maintenance: the platings are rather delicate coverings, for a good duration of the object we recommend the purely ornamental use avoiding liquids and long-lasting deposits on the skin. All platings are Free Nikel. We advise periodically to have the jewelery polished by authorized laboratories and have the jewelery plated again after wear to make them as new.

Glazes

Enamel is a covering, glass-based waterproofing coating with a light, (or colored) color, fuse at temperatures of 999 – 980 ° C, usually applied to noble metal objects such as gold, silver and copper or metal alloys such as bronze, brass and cast iron, as a base to be decorated or as a protective coating against rust and acids.
