Frequently asked questions

The perfect fit for a rings and cuff bangles is very important as these rings can be difficult to resize due to their complex design and thickness. Please see the video about sizing for rings and bangles. Once you we know your size, I can start making the bespoke ring, being as precise as possible to ensure the best fit.

All the rings on this site are bespoke pieces that must first be sized correctly, cast and then polished before being sent to hallmarking at the London Assay Office. From receiving an order, delivery should fall within 4-6 weeks Cholla bangles - these are both bespoke and complex prices to make due to the volume of silver and intricacies of design. From receiving an order, delivery should fall within 6-8 weeks Cholla pendants - if currently in stock, these will be dispatched within 3 working days.

Most of my work at present is cast in silver and my supplier uses 100% recycled silver, gold and platinum which is the most eco-friendly and ethical way to source precious metals, and hallmarked.

All items are made from recycled sterling silver. Every item that weighs more that 7.78 grams will be hallmarked by the London Assay Office to meet UK legal requirements. A hallmark is a stamp that guarantees the purity of the metal, with a full hallmark consisting of three compulsory marks: a sponsor's mark, a metal and purity mark (e.g., 925 for sterling silver), and a date letter mark. This process ensures items meet legal standards and protects consumers from fraud. My mark (the sponsors mark, or 'maker's mark') is a Rhombus with the initials MH contained within it. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/24dcd5_3b4b7ccab0a84411b1969caf13a9e302~mv2.jpg

All pieces are delivered in an eco-friendly buff coloured cardboard jewellery box and secured in some sustainable produced black foam, examples below. The jewellery boxes are then inserted into a eco-friendly cardboard postal box and sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery requiring a signature upon delivery. These parcels are fully insured in transit by Royal Mail. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/24dcd5_8b4b6304684e40ba815608e6f237cb83~mv2.jpg

From the Mojave Desert Land Trust (www.mdlt.org): "The Mojave Desert Land Trust take on the greatest challenges facing the California desert, permanently protecting land, restoring habitat, and preserving native seeds. We defend the dark night skies, water, and critical species that make up a thriving desert ecosystem. We recognize this work is only possible through collaboration with the wider community and by inspiring the next generation of desert stewards. We believe in the transformative power of this landscape, and that everyone deserves access. We're determined to maintain the California deserts as an intact and biodiverse ecosystem for generations to come." This is a subject close to my heart and therefore, I am donating £1 of every item of Cholla Jewellery sold, to the MDLT, to ensure this amazing landscape and wildlife is preserved for future generations.
