Craftsmanship
Each piece is hand formed by Emily, and cast into recycled metal using the lost wax technique. They are burnished, finished, and set with stones by our team of skilled jewellers and goldsmiths in the West Cornwall Studio.
The precious metals we use are recycled, reflecting our commitment to responsible sourcing and the circular nature of working with permanent natural materials.

Diamonds
Our diamonds are naturally formed approximately 1—3.5 billion years ago in the Earth's mantle. They rose to the surface over millions of years to be sourced from South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia, in compliance with the Kimberley Certification Process. All of our stones are responsibly sourced with strict human rights and environmental due diligence on trusted, reputable suppliers. They are assessed by our in-house gemmologist and set by hand in West Cornwall.

Sapphires
Our sapphires were formed approximately 150-300 million years ago, and responsibly sourced from trusted, reputable suppliers in the U.S, Australia and Sri Lanka.
Each stone has a unique and unrepeatable colour palette, caused by trace elements surrounding the sapphire crystal as it was formed. As a result, each individual piece is unique, with subtle colour variation in the stones. They are assessed by our in-house gemmologist and set by hand in West Cornwall.
