Frequently Asked Questions
What does Couture mean?
Couture is a french fashion term that means the design and manufacture of fashionable clothes to a client's specific requirements and measurements. In true slow fashion we have applied this concept of 'made to measure' to our fine jewelry designs. It offers a more personalized approach and is also a more sustainable practice that minimizes waste.

Why should I invest in solid gold jewelry?
24K gold is gold in it's purest form, the K stands for karat which is a standard measure of purity. Real gold is a natural element, highly valuable, non-reactive to skin and has been treasured since ancient civilizations to the present. As long as people appreciate beautiful objects, we believe it will remain highly prized for it's beauty and luster far into the future. We mainly work with 18K gold, because it has the highest percentage of pure gold while remaining durable in jewelry designs. Gold in it's purest form is actually quite soft and malleable, so styles that require even more durability against wear and tear are offered in 14k gold, such as necklace chains, pendants and earrings. Our pieces come in solid gold which does not degrade, is infinitely recycleable and will never rub off or turn your skin green. We believe in buying less, but buying better quality that will last.
What is recycled gold?
Recycled gold is created using refined scrap gold from old broken jewelry, byproducts of jewelry manufacturers and unwanted bullion and coins. After refining and conversion we buy the 24k grains from small local suppliers in Los Angeles and NY and we make our own 18k & 14k alloys to make into our jewelry designs. Designing in predominantly recycled gold is an important part of the journey towards sustainability & we are committed to using recycled metals & stones whenever possible. All pieces are handmade in LA, NY & Italy by skilled artisans.
What if I'm unsure of my ring size?

Will my gemstone look exactly like the one pictured?
Each gemstone is hand selected by the designer for it's natural and unique charm & qualities. Color will vary from stone to stone, so please let us know if you have any special requests pertaining to the color of your stone. While we cannot guarantee an exact replica of the stones photographed, we can work with our clients on custom orders for more specific requests. Diamonds are sourced within a similar range of original design unless otherwise requested.
