We believe the quality of our silver and gold jewellery is amongst the top brands in the world. It’s a big statement, but one we are happy to back up.
It is, sadly, all too easy to look at a piece and its beauty distract from the craftsmanship that has gone into it and the details that make it a superior, luxury product.
So we’ve teamed up with the technical team at Lolo and Galago (who have wowed us with their expertise!) to explain to you why our silver and gold pieces are not just designer jewellery, but of luxury quality.
Stones: Lolo and Galago has decades of experience in sourcing and acquiring some of the most beautiful stones in the marketplace. Thanks to our networks, we are able to get early opportunities to pick up the best stones in terms of cut, clarity and colour. Lolo and Galago has access to all the biggest international markets, giving us the best opportunity to source the stones we want. This means our final pieces are adorned with some of the highest quality jewels.
Plating: When we plate our silver jewellery, we always plate it in gold, but take an extra step and add a very thin layer of transparent protective resin on top of this, adding to its wearability. We plate to a total of 3 microns thickness- substantially more than most jewellery- to ensure a lasting piece with a beautiful, even and thick finish. Perfect to create a dazzling look wherever you wear your jewellery to!
We use multiple moulds: Typically, a mould can be made from a wax carving, and this mould can then be used to cast pieces. But we take an extra step and cast a ‘master’ piece from the first mould, producing a second, more accurate mould from the master piece which is the one we will then use for our jewellery. This is because a mould made from a solid silver master piece will be more accurate with edges and complex parts formed in a finer manner-producing noticeably higher quality finish shapes.
Our Goldsmiths: At Lolo and Galago, we employ some of the most talented goldsmiths in the world- we are fortunate enough to have years of experience in the jewellery industry and as such have been able to selectively choose the goldsmiths we know can produce perfect pieces of jewellery. We combine traditional knowledge with modern software so every piece is comfortable and beautiful.
Our Quality Control: We monitor every stage of production from initial sketch designs right through to final inspection before our customer purchases to ensure there are no flaws in any of our work. It’s a painstaking process but something we continually enforce. And this ensures you get the highest quality jewellery that is as carefully constructed as it is designed.
