Materials & Care

A Soft Grind pieces are made in three materials. Many share a folded structure inspired by fragile foil, and are made to develop a living patina over time — a trace of wear that is part of the design.

Materials

925 Sterling Silver

Solid sterling silver (92.5% silver). Durable for everyday wear; polishes back to a bright shine.

18K Solid Gold

Solid 18K gold (750). A precious, long-lasting material. These pieces are made to order.

18K Gold Plated

18K gold plated over sterling silver. The warmth of gold at a more accessible price; the plating softens gradually with wear.

How to care for your piece

  • Polish softly with a soft, dry cloth to restore shine.
  • Keep pieces dry. Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising.
  • Avoid contact with perfume, lotion, and household chemicals.
  • Store separately in a soft pouch or box to prevent scratching.
  • Gold-plated pieces are more delicate — handle gently to protect the plating.

A note on patina

Silver and gold develop a living patina over time. This is intended — a soft record of how a piece is worn. Gentle polishing restores brightness whenever you prefer it.
