Metal
18k Yellow gold.
How to care for your 18k yellow gold jewerly:
18k yellow gold jewelry is durable but still soft enough to scratch, so it’s best to remove it during activities like heavy work, sports, or using harsh chemicals. Clean it occasionally with warm water, a small amount of mild dish soap, and a soft brush, then rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough materials that can dull the finish. When not wearing it, store each piece separately in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches.

If you are happy with your new custom jewelry and enjoyed the process of designing your one of a kind piece, please leave me a review and let others know.
Custom Creations
The design was created in CAD (computer aided design) using Matrix Gold. Matrix is a parametric based program specifically used for jewelry. A 3D resin model was printed, and from that a mold was created for casting using a "lost wax process", named for the fact that the resin model in burned away to create the mold. This is a one-off piece that will never be recreated except by client request.
