Appearance and Properties of the Materials
Stainless steel and titanium
The surface has a slightly rough texture, and the reliefs are not quite as delicate as those on our cast brass or silver jewelry. The stainless steel pendants weigh approximately 17g, while the titanium pendants weigh approximately 10 g (for comparison: a 2-EUR coin has a diameter of 25mm and weighs approximately 8.5g)
This “heavy-duty look” jewelry is very robust and is often preferred by men.
Silver and silver-plated/gold-plated brass
With this shiny, highly polished jewelry, the fine details of the reliefs are particularly easy to see. The look is elegant, and the jewelry feels sturdy and high-quality.
We also apply an ultra-thin nano-coating to the silver or silver-plated/gold-plated pendants, which protects against tarnishing and potential skin allergies.
To make the jewelry, a wax model is created and then used to make a plaster mold. This is subsequently filled with molten silver or brass and extensively finished by hand.
We do not skimp on materials, so the jewelry remains sturdy and substantial.
The pendants made of gold-plated/silver-plated brass weigh a little over 12g, while those made of 925 sterling silver weigh a little over 15g.
Each pendant includes
a swivel clasp (eye diameter: 3.3mm) and a 2mm-thick black necklace made of waxed leather, available in 3 lengths.
What is the production time?
In-stock items are shipped within 2 business days.
For jewelry that is not in stock, production takes 15 to 20 business days.
With the wide range of designs, materials, and sizes, we offer almost 7,000 variants. As a small family business, we cannot afford to maintain such a large inventory. We therefore usually make our jewelry to order and keep only small quantities in stock.
Personalized jewelry
If you would like a custom engraving, we always make a new piece of jewelry for this purpose, which will be ready after 15 to 20 business days.

Important Safety and Care Instructions for Your Jewelry
⚠️ Safety and Warning Instructions:
- Choking hazard: This product is not a toy. It contains small parts (clasps, chain links) and is not suitable for children under 3 years of age. Keep out of the reach of children.
- Risk of injury: Remove the jewelry before exercising, sleeping, swimming, or doing manual work. There is a risk of getting caught or constricted.
- Strangulation hazard: Long necklaces or leather cords can cause strangulation if they become caught or snagged.
- Heat & electricity: Since metals (stainless steel, titanium, silver, brass) conduct heat and electricity, do not wear the jewelry in the sauna, while sunbathing, or when working near electrical sources (risk of burns or electric shock).
- Material intolerance: Despite careful material selection, sensitive individuals may experience skin reactions. Remove the product immediately if redness or itching occurs.
✨ Special Instructions for Gold-Plated & Silver-Plated Surfaces:
To ensure that you can enjoy your piece of jewelry for a long time, please observe the following instructions to protect the surface finish:
- Avoid chemicals: The gold or silver layer on brass is delicate. Avoid direct contact with perfume, hair spray, lotions, disinfectants or cleaning products, as these may remove or discolor the coating.
- Moisture: Remove the jewelry before showering, bathing (in saltwater or chlorinated water), or engaging in activities that cause heavy sweating. Moisture accelerates the natural oxidation process and the abrasion of the finish.
- Abrasion: Mechanical friction (e.g. from other pieces of jewelry or rough clothing) causes the precious-metal layer to wear away. This is a normal wear process and does not constitute a material defect.
- Cleaning: Clean the jewelry only with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents or polishing pastes.
