Precious Metal Luxury 

Whether it’s solid 925 Sterling Silver, Gold Vermeil, or Solid Gold – I only work with precious metals.  Just like with clothes there’s a huge market for ‘fast-fashion’ jewellery, but I believe that all jewellery should be made to last. Working with high-quality recycled precious metals means that all Black Octopus jewellery can be treasured for a lifetime.  My commitment to working sustainability ensures that nothing goes to waste.
