What does this mean ? There are regulations about what metals can be used in jewellery, nickel, lead and cadmium are the ones that have to be tested. All Abalone jewellery falls well within the permitted levels, and is closest as can be to being “free” of these metals.
Rhodium plating is a metal deposition process used to coat materials with a decorative and protective layer of rhodium. Rhodium is a noble metal that imparts an extremely bright and hard wearing finish when applied as plating. When applied as a thin plate, it affords a durable finish of exceptional brightness. Rhodium finishes can greatly enhance the appearance and longevity of any metal to which they are applied.
Hummingbird Meaning
The hummingbird spirit animal symbolises the enjoyment of life and lightness of being. Those who have the hummingbird as a totem are invited to enjoy the sweetness of life, lift up negativity wherever it creeps in and express love more fully in their daily endeavours.
**** JEWELLERY CARE ****

Please do not wear your jewellery in water, this includes baths, showers , pools and the sea.
Please store away from direct sunlight and heat.
Contact with creams , oils , perfumes and cosmetics can cause metal discoloration / skin residue.
This type of issue is not a manufacturing fault and can be avoided if my care plan is adhered too.
Damage due to general wear and tear is determined by the wearer i do not hold responsibility for this.
Jewellery should be handled delicately. For example crystal jewellery needs extra care . Some crystals are low on the crystal hardness scale and can break and chip more easily than others. For example Fluorite has a low hardness scale.
Please take care not to drop or scuff your jewellery.
