Olivia handcrafts all designs in wax in her home studio in Melbourne, where she lives.
All bespoke pieces are made in Florence, Italy; Istanbul, Turkey; Jaipur, India; or Melbourne, Australia.
All pieces from the main collection are made with a small team in Bali, Indonesia.
We are proud to say that all our products are made with the happiness and safety of our team in mind.
We are uncompromising in our commitment to nurturing long-term relationships with suppliers who treat their workers fairly.
We know each artisan on a personal level, whether Bettina in Istanbul who liaises with our Grand Bazaar artisans, Ram in Jaipur who hand-pours our enamel, or Suci in Bali who emails us updates.
The materials we work with are both environmentally and socially conscious, whether they be recycled gold and silver, or gems sourced from suppliers who are able to trace them directly back to their source.
Because our pieces are made individually and often with limited stones or materials, not all pieces can be re-made in exactly the same way.
Click on Notify Me When Available on the product page to have the best chance of securing your desired piece if and when it returns.
In urgent cases, drop us a line, and we'll let you know if it's returning.
We use natural, untreated, ethically-sourced gemstones in our designs.
Like anything in nature, variations in colour between stones of the same type–even between two editions of one product–are to be expected.
We choose stones of this type because of their natural variations which we believe gives them beauty.
Details regarding the materials with which Cleopatra's Bling jewels are made can be found in the below FAQ.
Cleopatra's Bling cannot be held responsible for allergic reactions to our pieces, so please check the materials carefully before purchasing.
If you have sensitive skin, sterling silver, Vermeil, and solid gold are all excellent hypoallergenic options that suit most skin types. Our sterling silver and solid gold jewellery is hallmarked for your peace of mind.
Gold-plating is delicate by nature, and it is normal for it to wear over time. Items that have experienced wearing can often be replated for a small fee. Contact us for more information.
Gold-plating is an excellent choice for a customer looking for a accessibly priced item not intended for intensive, daily wear. Customers looking for an option for everyday wear should consider vermeil, sterling silver, or solid gold as an alternative to gold-plating, particularly for items that come into frequent, close contact with the skin.
For more information about the difference between Vermeil and Gold-plating, read below or speak to our expert team.
QUICK GUIDE
Sterling Silver - Our most cost effective option; does not experience wearing; hypo-allergenic. All our silver is recycled. Can be worn in water, except in thermal baths containing nature minerals such as sulfur.
Dry off after contact with moisture. Clean with silver polish or a baking soda bath, taking care to avoid gemstones.
Gold-plating - The most affordably-priced golden jewels from our range. Perfect for your first piece, that you intend to wear a few times a week, rather than every day. Plated over lead-and-nickel free bronze.
Avoid all moisture. Clean dust with a soft cloth. Depending on gem-setting may be able to be replated to restore lustre.
Vermeil - Up to 3 times thicker gold-plating than standard gold-plating. Plated over sterling silver so it's hypoallergenic. Keeps its "as new" look for years, and suitable for wearing every day.
Avoid all moisture. Clean dust with a soft cloth. Depending on gem-setting may be able to be replated to restore lustre.
Solid Gold - A lifelong piece, that can be an heirloom. Our most durable option.
18k gold is least likely to experience any tarnishing, while 9k and 14k gold can - on rare occasions - react to excessive moisture or the pH of the wearer's skin. This is not considered a fault of the product.
Solid Gold pendants come with a 18K Gold Plated chain included.
If you wish to upgrade to a Solid Gold chain, please add one to your cart, here. Design details of chain may vary very slightly, due to the artisanal nature of our production.
Note: upgrading to a Solid Gold chain will replace the 18K Gold-Plated chain on your order.
