MATERIALS & CARE

Why are your stones unpolished and rough? +

This is a part of our philosophy - to extract raw stones and create pieces without polishing them, in order to preserve their energy and form.

That is why there is no single similar stone and no single item is the same. Little scratches, unevenness and the roughness of the stones make your piece of jewelry one of a kind.

What plating do you use? +

We use black anthracite, white rhodium and 18k gold. You can learn more about our materials here: https://germankabirski.com/pages/materials-and-care

How should I best clean my jewelry? +

If you wish to do some basic cleaning, a dish soap with a mild formula is best. Mix it with warm water. Or alternatively use a good brand of jewelry wipe. A deeper clean is recommended by using a Magnasonic cleaner which is the perfect choice for getting rid of any small dirt or particles that get trapped in the crevices of the jewelry. If you wish to get more detailed information on how to care for particular precious metals and gemstones, please read our Materials & Care page.

 

    Are your pieces hypoallergenic? +

    Yes, our pieces are hypoallergenic. We do not use nickel in our creations.
