Materials We Use
.925 Sterling Silver
WHY WE USE IT
Sterling silver is a high-quality metal that balances beauty and durability. Its bright, lustrous finish makes it a staple in jewelry, while its strength allows for intricate designs. It is hypoallergenic and nickel-free, making it safe for sensitive skin.
14k Gold or Rose Gold Plated Sterling Silver
WHY WE USE IT
Plated gold or rose gold offers the luxurious look of gold or rose gold at a more accessible price. This is a great material for items that have less contact with the skin, like hoops.
Gold Vermeil
WHY WE USE IT
We use a thicker (2-2.5 microns) vermeil plating on necklaces, bracelets and rings for enhanced durability as they have the most contact with our skin.
14k Solid Gold
WHY WE USE IT
A luxurious metal option made to last a lifetime. 14k Yellow Gold won’t fade or lose its gold layer over time and offers excellent durability. Perfect for heirloom-quality pieces.
Natural & Lab Gemstones
WHY WE USE IT
Whether natural or lab-created, gemstones offer a vibrant colour, intricate patterns, textures and a unique beauty.
Where possible, we use lab-created gemstones as a more sustainable option without sacrificing quality.

Caring For Your H&B
Tarnishing is a natural reaction for sterling silver when it’s exposed to oxygen, moisture, or certain chemicals. While it can dull your jewelry’s shine, it doesn’t mean your piece is damaged. With proper care and cleaning using our Silver Jewelry Care Kit or Silver Anti-Tarnish Polishing Cloth, your jewelry’s brilliance can always be restored.
Gold Vermeil is crafted with a thick layer of 14k gold or rose gold over sterling silver, making it both luxurious and durable. To maintain its finish:
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive polishing, as these can wear away the gold layer.
- Use a gentle cleaner, like our All-Purpose Jewelry Care Kit, and a soft cloth to preserve its shine.
Yes, but Sparkle components require special care to preserve their brilliance. These hand-set crystals in a clay base are durable but should not be cleaned with water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials. The best way to care for them is to gently buff the surface using a soft, non-abrasive cloth, such as our Buffing Cloth, to maintain their sparkle and shine. Avoid exposure to moisture or heavy friction to ensure they continue to shine bright.
Top Tips for Caring for Your H&B Jewelry
Keep your jewelry away from lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and cleaning agents, which can damage metals, gemstones, and crystals.
Place your jewelry in a dry, cool environment, like our travel case, to protect it from scratches and tarnishing. For extra protection, store in an airtight container to limit exposure to oxygen and moisture.
Regular cleaning removes oils, dirt, and buildup, preserving your jewelry’s shine and longevity. Use products designed for your jewelry’s material, like our Buffing Cloth or specialized care kits.
