Made clear

Durable finishes.
Clear care.

Our core pieces use a stainless-steel foundation finished in durable gold- or silver-tone PVD plating. The process creates a hard-wearing surface designed for water, sweat and repeat wear.

Product pages identify the specific finish and decorative details used on each design. Natural pearls and shells will always have subtle variations—that individuality is part of their beauty.

Material library

What each piece is made from.

01 / Finish

18k gold-tone PVD

A warm 18k gold-tone finish is bonded to stainless steel using physical vapour deposition for a smooth, durable surface made for repeat wear.

Best care

Rinse after salt or chlorine exposure, dry thoroughly and avoid abrasive cleaners.

02 / Finish

Silver-tone PVD

A polished silver-tone PVD finish gives selected designs their bright, cool lustre while retaining the strength of a stainless-steel foundation.

Best care

Wash gently with fresh water when needed, then pat completely dry with a soft cloth.

03 / Natural detail

Pearls & shell

Natural pearl and shell details vary subtly in shape, tone and surface. These differences make every piece individual rather than imperfect.

Best care

Rinse away salt and product residue, pat dry and keep away from perfume, harsh chemicals and abrasive surfaces.

04 / Light

Cubic zirconia

Precisely cut cubic zirconia adds a clean line of light. Settings should be protected from hard knocks, snagging and product build-up.

Best care

Clean gently with fresh water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive brushes and chemical jewellery dips.

The care ritual

Swim. Rinse. Dry. Repeat.

Four simple habits keep your pieces looking their best.

01

Rinse after the ocean

Fresh water removes salt, chlorine and residue that can collect around chains, clasps and settings.

02

Dry completely

Pat pieces dry with a soft, lint-free cloth before wearing again or returning them to storage.

03

Keep chemicals away

Apply perfume, hairspray and skincare first, then let products settle before adding jewellery.

04

Store separately

Fasten chains and give each piece its own dry pouch or compartment to prevent scratches and tangles.
