Abbie sets a pale blue resin cameo, raised with a cream crowned heart and fine rays, inside an open, lace-like frame of PVD gold-plated stainless steel. A matching cameo stud sits at the ear, and the full 2.48" / 63mm drop has the warm feel of a vintage keepsake worn with a crisp white shirt or a simple dress.
PVD bonds the gold layer into the steel rather than laying it on top like electroplate or vermeil, so it doesn't rub or flake, and the steel underneath can't rust or go green.
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it dry. No polishing compounds — they abrade plating.
PVD gold is hard-wearing, but it isn't chemically inert. Keep it away from chlorinated pools and hot tubs, bleach and household cleaners, and perfume, lotion or hairspray sprayed straight onto it — put those on first, let them dry, then put the piece on.
Water on its own is fine. It's the chemicals that do the damage.

Jewelry usually reaches a shop through a distributor, a wholesaler and a buyer, and each one takes a margin on the way. The finished price is commonly eight to ten times what the piece cost to make. We sell direct, so what you pay covers the piece and getting it to you.
A best estimate, not a receipt for this piece. The figures are a weighted average across our range, so any single item runs a little above or below. Import tax is a US average and depends on where you live. None of this includes the cost of running the business.
