This page is to explain in depth all materials used in my work.

Wire

• 14K Gold - To make the pieces more affordable, we use 14K-gold heavy-plated copper core wire in our pieces. Upon request, we can work with solid 14K gold as well. Please contact us for details and quotes.
• Silver – Bright silver is a silver plated copper core wire. / Darker silver is tin copper core wire. I use the tin version to avoid the nickle typically used in dark silver.
• Brass- 100% pure brass wire. 
• Color- All colors are an enameled copper core wire.
• Antique Bronze- The wire is a copper core color wire.

Chain

• Silver / White Gold- The chain is a white gold plated brass chain. Using white gold for the plating avoids nickle typically used to create darker silver chains.
• Brass- 100% nickle-free brass chain
• Copper- 100% nickle-free copper chain
• Gunmetal- 100% nickle-free mixed metal dark gunmetal chain
• Antique Bronze- 100% nickle free antiqued bronze chain
• Antique Copper- 100% nickle free antiqued copper chain
• Leather- Cow hide leather
• Cotton Cord- 100% vegan cotton cord with a wax coating

Chainmaille Rings

• Silver- 100% nickle-free bright aluminum. This metal tarnishes extremely slowly. (It takes approximately 6 years to see any tarnishing.)
• Bronze- 100% nickle-free mixed metal.
• Color- 100% nickle-free anodized aluminum. The anodizing process involves heating the metal, adding the color, and letting the metal cool. The color does not tarnish over time.

• Chainmaille Rings- 0.925 sterling silver wire, 100% nickle free. 
• Chain- 0.925 sterling silver wire, 100% nickle free. Style and size of chain is chosen to best flatter the pendant purchased.
