FAQ
Can you tell me more about the metals you use?
We use a variety of different metals in our designs.
18KT YELLOW GOLD PLATED: We use 3 microns of 18kt yellow gold plating on our pieces to ensure a gorgeous, premium finish that is made to last. Our ultra thick plating sets our pieces apart and makes our pieces durable, non allergenic and radiantly beautiful. Our plated pieces are made with either a bronze or sterling silver core. Each product will have this information listed.
SOLID STERLING SILVER: Our silver pieces are all made with solid Sterling Silver (.925). We coat each piece with a layer of clear tarnish preventing treatment to ensure a bright, easy to maintain finish. Sterling Silver will naturally darken over time, however it can always be polished back to its original luster with normal polishing techniques.
VERMEIL: (pronounced VER-MAY) For jewellery to be considered Vermeil it must be heavily plated with 2.5 or more microns of gold over a solid sterling silver core. While our gold pieces feature a higher content of real gold (3 microns) than traditional vermeil does, LD pieces are not considered vermeil because the core is bronze.

How do I care for my jewellery?
It is best to avoid wearing your jewellery in the shower, ocean or pool as moisture can accelerate up the tarnishing process and damage the polished finish. In most cases, fingerprints and body oils can be removed by rubbing with a polishing cloth. To remove soap and moisturiser build up, submerge the piece in warm, soapy water. Use a soft toothbrush to loosen build-up. Rinse and pat dry immediately.
It is always a good idea to store your jewellery in an airtight, moisture free environment when you aren't wearing it in order to minimise tarnish. Try to avoid storing your jewellery in the bathroom as the humidity will accelerate tarnish!
