Details

On the Fourth of July, one firework opens over the rooftops and then hangs there a long time, trailing fire.

Gold-tone starburst studs in jeweler's copper: curved rays tipped with tiny balls, and at the center crystal beads in chocolate, clear and milky white. They cover the whole lobe, yet the pair weighs almost nothing.

Minus the bang.

Worth knowing

Caught mid-burst The spokes are uneven lengths, the way a real one is.

A dark centre One black stone at the middle, which is what stops it being sweet.

Pearls in the gaps Small and scattered rather than set in a row.

What these words mean, and what they cost us

Materials & care

Delicate on purpose. These pieces carry a finish over a base metal, and a finish is a thing that can wear.

Keep them away from water, perfume and lotion; take them off before the shower, sport and sleep — a small ritual that keeps it looking as it does now.

Shipping

Posted by hand from our studio in Ukraine, tracked from the moment it leaves us. Usually 7 to 14 business days to most of the United States — good things travel a little further.

Nothing to pay on arrival. Duties and import charges are settled by us in advance, so the price at checkout is the whole price.

Changed your mind? 30 days to send it back. Write to us first and we will tell you where; return postage is yours unless the piece arrived faulty or wrong — then a photo is enough.

Size & fit

Most pieces are one size. Rings run true to US sizing — if you are between sizes, take the larger one.

FAQ

What is actually in the finish? A real precious-metal layer over a base — thin by design, which is why a piece here costs $46 and not $460. Gold-tone pieces carry real gold; silver-tone pieces carry real silver, and the silver layer is the thicker of the two by some margin. The base differs by piece — refined copper, stainless steel, or sterling silver. Specifications above says which, and how thick, for this one.

Will it tarnish? A finish wears with water, perfume and friction. How long it keeps its colour depends on how it is worn, so the care note above is the whole of what we can honestly tell you.

Which is the harder-wearing? Sterling silver 925 has no finish to wear through — it is one metal the whole way. A finish over a base is a layer, and a layer is a thing that can eventually go.

Add another and it pays you back.
