Frequently Asked Questions


What is Keum-Boo?
Keum-Boo is an ancient Korean gilding technique used to fuse 24ct gold foil to the surface of silver. Unlike gold plating, this creates a permanent, molecular bond between the metals.

How do I care for the oxidised finish?
The dark, smoky patina is a surface treatment that will naturally "mellow" and brighten over time where it touches your skin. This evolution is part of the piece’s unique character. To preserve the finish, avoid chemical cleaners or ultrasonic baths.

Is this necklace adjustable?
The standard length is approximately 49.5cm, sitting just below the collarbone. As each piece is made to order in my Auckland studio, I can adjust the cord length upon request—simply get in touch before ordering.

Will it look exactly like the photo?
Because each bead is hand-built and the gold is applied by hand, no two necklaces are identical. Your piece will be a unique variation of the design shown, carrying its own distinct textures.

 

Style & Inspiration

This is not a necklace you buy because you need a necklace. You buy it because you want to wear something that carries real making in it — something that took time, skill, and intention. The contrast of oxidised silver and warm 24ct gold is quiet but striking. It sits beautifully at the collarbone and works as well with a linen shirt as it does with something dressed up. It’s the kind of piece people ask about.

A significant birthday. A personal milestone. A gift to yourself after something hard or something wonderful. It’s also a considered wedding gift, an anniversary piece, or a way to mark a new chapter. Because every necklace is unique — no two are identical — it carries the weight of a one-of-a-kind object without the price of a commission.

At 49.5cm, this necklace sits at or just below the collarbone on most necklines — a versatile length that works with open necklines, crew necks, and everything in between. If you’d prefer a different length, get in touch. The hand-plaited cord is lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear. The beads have presence without being heavy. This is a necklace you’ll reach for often.

Great for Everyone!
Format: Paperback
This book is very useful to prepare people for marriage and I would recommend it for teens (even if they're not in a relationship), engaged couples, and even those already married since this provides realistic information about love and that not everything in a relationship is easy. It also helps people understand and attempt to loosely preset chores around the house and understand what to do with the extra money earned that isn't needed for bills. While I was already aware and have read about the 5 love languages, that is only briefly covered in one chapter while the rest provides other information so if you already read the 5 Love Languages book understand that there is a lot more involved in this book than that concept. The concept that I want to highlight in this book that I haven't read about before was the 5 Different Ways to Apologize. Increasingly, I think people need to be aware that what we consider to be a 'sincere apology' isn't necessarily the same as everyone else's though there are 5 of them that are fairly common. I was surprised when I found what I thought to be a sincere apology was listed word-for-word! This concept alone can be applied to anyone you socialize with and I especially recommend this piece if you are having apology problems between your friend, significant other, coworkers, and/or boss. Teens and those single will be able to learn a lot from this book, especially to realize that people, on average, are no longer "falling in love" within two years of the relationship and I think this would help them understand that relationships take a lot of work even when it's not convenient for you. Giving them an understanding of how to be flexible when apologizing and to know that people feel loved according to different love languages will make them more aware of how to improve their friendships and relationships in the future. Finally, there is reinforcement in being willing to do chores even if they're not popular and generally establishing healthy spending habits. I personally found this book to be thrilling and Gary Chapman successfully backs up some of his findings with Psychological research and definitions. I loved it so much that I read it in one sitting and now I'm getting my teen friends and budding couples into reading it. Awesome book; give it a try if you haven't already! (:

I love this!
Format: Paperback
This is a different type of marriage book. It’s very practical and addresses topics will affect you marriage that you can discuss beforehand. Many of these things get figured out along the way by way of arguments and disagreements or worse, just acquiescing without agreeing. (10 years later this is the reason you’re getting divorced and you haven’t ever talked about it. The other person has no idea & you never trusted them enough to tell them your feelings.). These topics range from who is going to clean the toilet to handling money and marrying into another family. It’s good practical thought and food for discussion. As the first chapter says “Being in love is not is not an adequate foundation for a successful marriage.”

Thank You for this Incredible Book!
Format: Kindle
I am 19 and I am "unofficially" engaged. I know that he and I will most certainly without a doubt be getting married. We have known each other since we were 5 and 6 years old and have built a friendship with God at the center. We are trying our hardest to do things that right way considering we have both come from very (for lack of a better word) dysfunctional house holds. Both of my parents being on their third marriages each and his finally coming back to The Lord after many years of living in the world, haven't always been the best examples for us to learn from. We know exactly how we don't want to lead a marriage but we were not sure exactly how go about leading a proper or Godly marriage. This book, which I accidentally stumbled upon a few weeks ago, has been a serious eye opener and a total reality check. Though I will admit we were in the "tingles" stage, as Dr. Gary Chapman puts it, we have always tried to stay realistic. "Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married" has truly taught us a lot of valuable lessons and I know we will keep the things we have learned from this book close at hand in the coming years. We thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, but what really made it interesting and kept us flipping the pages were the little anecdotes that were shared about other couples. Listening or reading their experiences really helped us relate to the situations that were being explained. We also liked the "Talking it Over" segments at the end of each chapter. Those we extremely useful when it came to understanding all the information that was just handed to us in the previous reading. I can not stop telling people about this book. I already have my sister and her husband reading it and it has greatly improved their relationship now after almost 4 months of marriage. I have also recommended it to each of my parents and my fiancé's parents as well because I know they could greatly benefit from it as I did. Thank You!

Natural healthy dog treats.

Our dog loves these treats. They're also not filled with the junk like in other treats. These are one maybe 2 ingredients only. Better for our pup.
