Materials we work with

Exceptional quality is important to us. We believe that quality is the most important factor in any brand, and we work with the very best materials and industry-leading suppliers to guarantee you jewellery that can be loved and cherished for many years to come.

We work with ethical practice suppliers who use sustainable materials for each item. We believe in using natural products, stones and pearls that are derived from sustainable, natural resources. We are environmentally and ethically-conscious and only work with suppliers who share these same values.

Stainless Steel

A hidden gem; Stainless steel is the perfect material for jewellery lovers to create pieces that will last. It's extremely strong, water resistant, tarnish free and recyclable. Working in steel allows for fine, elaborate filigree designs and statement pieces that have become a Pastiche signature style.

Products in this material are a great go-to for anyone with skin sensitivities as stainless steel is hypoallergenic and free from nickel.

Our stainless steel items are often plated with a rose or yellow gold plating. Ion plating (IP) is an advanced plating technique that produces a harder and more durable coating with a higher brightness. IP has been shown to be five to eight times better in terms of wear.

Although Ion Plating creates a near permanent chemical fusion of gold colour, the finish is still susceptible to a change in colour tone over time. Clean with a soft, chemical free cloth and warm water.

Sterling Silver

Always a favourite in the fashion world, we can never get enough of the beauty and elegance of Sterling Silver. Working with silver enables us to create delicate and intricate designs that are stunning and affordable. Silver is renowned for being easy to work with, this allows our designers to be as creative and ambitious as they wish with their designs.

Do you have sensitive skin? Sterling silver is the go-to jewellery option for you. Free from nickel, sterling silver is hypoallergenic and is less likely to irritate sensitive skin.

Many of our silver designs have been electroplated with 14 karat yellow or rose gold. Electroplating is a process that uses an electrical current to coat the silver with a thin, but durable, layer of real gold.

Unplated silver items are easy to clean with a polishing cloth and can last a lifetime. Care should be taken when cleaning plated jewellery to protect the layer from being worn away. The life of the coating will depend on how often the jewellery is worn and how well it is cared for. To clean, simply wipe gently with a soft, damp, chemical free cloth to remove surface dirt or dust.
