The majority of our charms are made from sterling silver. This is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. If you have an allergy to copper we are able to make items in pure silver (99.9%). However fine silver is softer then sterling silver and we recommend following you care instructions to ensure your items last.

Some of our items will exceed the weight requirement for hallmarking. These pieces will be sent for hallmarking, a cost which is included in the price however this may cause an increase in delivery time for you receiving your item to approximately 21 days from receipt of your prints.
