WHERE IS SIRCIAM MADE?

Thank you for visiting and shopping with us. All of our wonderful pieces are handmade in our little studio in the heart of the Los Angeles district of jewelry.  Every step of the way we ensure the quality of our pieces as we make them by hand with expert care from our offices to your homes.

 

ETHICALLY SOURCED AND UNIQUELY YOURS

All of our gemstones are ethically sourced and all of the diamonds we use are conflict free.  We always hand-select the most beautiful stones from our stock to fill our web orders.  All of the photographs on our website are shown with pieces made in 14k rose gold.  We also enjoy working in an ethereal 14k yellow and custom blended 14k white gold.  Our downtown production offices always use the most environmentally friendly processes and recycled materials whenever possible.

 

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY JEWELRY?

Our beautiful jewelry is made to be loved and worn every day.  Please note that our pieces are made with the intention of lasting forever with proper care.  During activities that are hard on the hands such as gardening, going to the gym, dish washing, or moving heavy objects we recommend removing them prior.

When jewelry gets dirty, one can simply use a toothbrush with mild soap and scrub gently.  Rinse under warm water to wash the suds.  From a distance of ten inches, use a blow-dryer on low heat to remove the moisture.  A final pat with a soft towel to fully dry is all that’s needed.

  

PACKAGING AND GIFT WRAPPING

Our pieces come elegantly packaged in our Sirciam Branded Tye-Dyed Pouch and Sirciam Branded Watercolor Box made from sustainable sources and look-book card of authenticity.  If you wish to have further gift wrapping ($12 USD), the option for it is available by request.

Please do note, every custom piece is an original artwork and although we will take-into-account all of the customer notes and requests, once the piece is put into production no additional changes can be requested.

As with all Sirciam pieces, we make them as though we are making them for ourselves and we will always do what we believe is correct for the piece.
