The Heart of Our Craft

At SHAÈ & SOL we craft with intention, selecting materials that honour both beauty and resilience. Each piece is made to weather the tides of daily life, to glow in golden light, and to move with you from sea to shore. This mindful approach extends beyond our jewellery to our packaging. Wherever possible, we choose recyclable and low impact materials, including recyclable cardboard and compostable materials, designed to be as beautiful as they are kind to the planet. 

Explore our core materials we use across our collections, each chosen with care to ensure lasting wear and a timeless appeal. 

 

Stainless Steel - Physical Vapor Deposition

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), is a modern gold-coating technique that bonds beautifully to high-quality stainless steel, its durable, hypoallergenic, and resistant to tarnishing. Designed to move with you, from saltwater swims to sun-soaked days, our jewellery is safe to wear in the ocean and made to be lived in. Thoughtfully crafted to last.

 

.925 Sterling Silver - Gold Vermeil - E-Coating

Gold vermeil is a premium jewellery finish, created by plating a thick layer of 2.5 microns of pure gold over solid sterling silver to deliver a rich, lasting glow that rivals solid gold in appearance and feel. In additional E-Coating also known as "Electrocoating" or "Electrophoretic Coating" is applied to enhance durability, providing a protective layer that helps maintain the jewellery’s shine while resisting scratches and wear. Hypoallergenic and resistant to tarnishing, our gold vermeil pieces are made to shine through every moment of your day. Each design reflects a quiet luxury,  rooted in sustainability and gentle on the planet, and your skin.

 

Sustainable Packaging

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our jewellery. Every order is thoughtfully packed in eco-friendly materials, including compostable padded mailers and sturdy cardboard jewellery boxes designed to protect your pieces in transit.

While some components contain minimal plastic elements, we’re continuously working to reduce our environmental impact wherever possible.

These choices reflect our plastic-reduced approach prioritising durable, recyclable, and compostable materials to help minimise waste and protect the planet. Whether you’re receiving a gift or treating yourself, your order arrives with purpose, care, and respect for the planet.

This is our ongoing promise to tread lightly, protecting the oceans, landscapes, and wildlife that inspire everything we create. 

We’re continuously improving and are actively transitioning to 100% plastic-free solutions.
