Care and sizing

Forged metal lives with you. It darkens, it brightens where it is touched, and it asks for very little.

Steel and iron

Forged steel is finished with oil or wax, not plated. Keep it dry when you can, and take it off before the sea, the pool, and the shower. If it dulls or a spot of rust appears, rub it with a drop of oil on a soft cloth; the patina that comes with wear is part of the piece.

Silver, bronze, and copper

These tarnish in air, faster near sulfur, salt, and lotions. A jewelry cloth brings the brightness back; leave the dark in the recesses if you like the depth it gives.

Cords and chains

Leather and waxed cords wear before metal does. Keep them out of water, and write to us when one needs replacing.

Finding your size

For a ring, measure a ring that fits the same finger across its inside, in millimeters, or wrap a strip of paper around the finger and measure where it meets. For a bracelet or cuff, measure your wrist just below the bone. Each product page gives the piece's own measurements; if you are between sizes or unsure, ask before you order.
