Each piece in this collection begins with a hand-selected stone, chosen for its color, texture, and character, then sculpted in silver gleem, a lead-free alloy composed of 96% tin and 4% silver.

Unlike traditional sterling silver, silver gleem is worked using a soft solder process that lets the metal move organically around each stone. The result is raw, textured edges and forms that are genuinely unrepeatable. No two pieces are alike, not even close.
Note: This does not include a chain

A note on wear: the soldering process involves copper tape, so trace amounts of copper contact may be present on finished pieces. If you have a known copper or metal sensitivity, please keep this in mind. These pieces are best enjoyed as occasional wear, keep them dry and store them with a little care, and they'll hold their beauty.

 

Caring for Your Piece

Silver gleem develops character over time, but a little attention will keep it looking its best.

Everyday wear Keep your piece away from water, lotions, perfumes, and oils, these are the quickest way to dull the finish. Put your jewelry on last when getting ready, and take it off first when you're done.

Storage Store each piece individually in a soft pouch or small zip-lock bag with the air pressed out. Limiting air exposure is the single best thing you can do to slow oxidation. Keeping a small anti-tarnish strip in the bag helps even more.

Cleaning If your piece needs a refresh, gently buff it with a dry soft cloth,  a jewelry polishing cloth works best. For more buildup, use a cotton swab barely dampened with a tiny amount of dish soap, then immediately dry it completely. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners, and silver dip solutions, as these can damage both the metal and the stones.

The stones Many natural stones are porous, avoid submerging them in water or exposing them to cleaning products. A dry or barely damp cloth is all they need.

A note on patina Some darkening in the textured edges is natural and actually enhances the handmade quality of each piece. If you love that look, leave it. If you prefer brighter silver, a light buff will bring it back.
