Frequently Asked Questions
Dinnerware
What material is your dinnerware made from?
All of our plates are made from ceramic and processed at a high glaze, creating their porcelain finish.
How should I care for my dinnerware sets?
Our porcelain plates and bowls and our sterling silver silverware can be washed in the dishwasher. We suggest running through the dishwasher or washing under warm water with a nonabrasive sponge before first use.
Is your dinnerware microwave safe?
Yes, the majority of our dinnerware is microwave safe. Caution should be taken when removing from the microwave as the plate or bowl may still be hot. Our silverware sets are sterling silver and are NOT microwave safe. Our gold rimmed dinner plates are also NOT safe for microwave use, due to the golden plated polish used to in lay the golden rim effect.
Where do your dinnerware sets come from?
We directly source from factories internationally, including China, Japan, and Italy. These vendors are 3rd-party certified food-safe, lead-free, premium-grade porcelain and sterling silver. We stock everything in the US to ensure manufacturing and design quality - if we wouldn't put it in our homes, we don't put it in our collection.

Vases and Candleholders
What materials are your vases and candleholders made from?
All vases and candleholders are made from ceramic, with a matte or satin finish.
How should I care for my vases and candleholders?
Our ceramic vases are meant for indoor use, and can be used with fresh, dried or faux flowers. If using with fresh flowers, we suggest adding a water cap to the ends of your stems for easy cleanup and replacement of old bouquets. If you prefer to add water to the bottom of the vase, do it! After usage, rinse your vase and add warm water and soap to soak off any stuck on leaves or stems. Turn upside down to dry out before refilling. To maintain finish, wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Yes! Our jewelry is made with 925 sterling silver with gold or white gold plating. 925 sterling silver is 92.5% sterling silver, which is considered safe for most sensitive skin types.
Is your jewelry tarnish-free?
Our jewelry is tarnish-resistant. While you can wear it in the shower or while swimming, we recommend removing your jewelry before doing any water activities to ensure long-lasting quality. However, any tarnish that does occur can easily be remediated with a silver polishing cloth.
What is the difference between Zircon and Cubic Zirconia?
Zircon is a natural, earth-mined silicate mineral available in many colors, while cubic zirconia(CZ) is a synthetic, lab-created, colorless diamond simulant. On the Mohs scale, Zircon is softer (6.5–7.5 Mohs) and can scratch, whereas CZ is harder (8–8.5 Mohs), heavier, and more durable, though CZ can get cloudy over time.
Zircon has high birefringence (doubling of facets), while CZ does not. CZ is generally flawless, whereas natural Zircon may have inclusions. Natural Zircon comes in blue, green, red, yellow, brown, and colorless. Cubic zirconia is typically colorless but can be made in any color. Generally, Natural Zircon is more valuable than synthetic Cubic Zirconia.
Handbags
Do your handbags include matching wallets and chains?
Yes! Our handbags include matching wallets and detachable chains and/or chain extenders, allowing you shift the look of your bag to match your outfit perfectly.
Are your bags real leather?
Yes! Our bags are made from leather. We also have speciality bags made from silk that feel soft as leather.
How should I care for my handbag?
In most cases, smudges or light marks can be removed by simply applying light pressure with a damp cloth and rubbing in a small circular motion. Let air dry for 10-15 minutes and your bag should be looking like brand new!
