MATERIALS & PROCESS

1. 100% Hand Crafted

We understand that design and materials are special to each person and there is nothing we love more than making personal, unique pieces imbued with meaning just for you. Every single piece is handmade and hand-stamped by Faith. Every design is thoroughly thought through and carefully crafted to meet your vision. We believe haste dissolves creativity so the making process is unhurried and relaxed. With this, we ask that you please wait patiently for your pieces to come to fruition. All pieces are made to order in our studio based in Los Angeles, California.

2. Recycled Materials

All pieces are made using recycled metals sourced in the U.S. One of our favorite things is sourcing unique and exquisite stones and all of our selections are ethically sourced, natural, and never lab-grown as we highly value their natural formation. Our metals are not covered in a plastic coating to keep them from environmental reactions. We prefer to keep them as natural as possible and because of this, it will likely change over time. This is the nature of organic materials and we feel it often adds to the character of the piece.

We work with recycled 10, 14, and 18k gold. Gold is combined with other metals (alloys) to make it stronger and change its color. Alloys add strength but in order to achieve the best balance between the strength of alloys and the valuable and desirable properties of gold, three different degrees of karat gold combinations have become standard: 18K, 14K, and 10K. Solid gold is lighter in weight and since it is a soft metal, it is prone to scratches and dents.
