TO MEASURE YOUR BANGLE DIAMETER SIZE
1. Measure a bangle's diameter that fits you nicely or

2. Cut a thin piece of paper or thread, bring your thumb and little finger together, wrap your paper/thread around your hand at the widest point,mark the spot where the paper/thread meets, measure to find the diameter size.

PLEASE NOTE Any scratches, lumps or bumps are not product faults and are left intentionally to retain the original character of each piece. They are a part of it's story - I love them, and I hope you do too <3

METAL COMPOSITION/ METAL ALLERGIES The metals used in jewellery making are alloys (mixes of different metals), and the composition is variable, not always known, and not necessarily what you would assume it to be.

Sterling silver (a highly prized metal for high quality jewellery) is an alloy of (at least) 92.5% fine silver and a small amount of other metals (usually copper, but possibly other metals). Sterling silver is less likely to trigger allergies than many jewellery metals, and I source my Sterling silver for NEW pieces from leading, reputable Australian refiners/ suppliers. I cannot, however, guarantee the precise composition of the alloy.

With vintage jewellery, or jewellery made from vintage components, the base metals may not be definitively known and the alloying metals cannot be established. Some of these pieces were originally forged well over 100 years ago! Whilst I only work with vintage items that I have strong reason to believe to be Sterling silver, any suggestion that I provide as to the metal used in a listed product comes from indicators such as hallmarks and should be treated as a "best guess" only.

Some people do suffer allergies to particular metals (nickel is one of the more common allergens, but not the only one). If you suffer metal allergies I advise that you DO NOT purchase vintage/ upcycled jewellery products and that you speak with your dermatologist/ health care professional and only purchase the specialty products recommended by them.
