Ripley Necklace

All our necklaces, unless otherwise stated  can be worn from 41cm (16 inches) to 46cm (18 inches). Standard chain length is 41cm and an additional extension chain included adds an extra 5cm.

Our chains are all recycled sterling silver belcher chains with a sterling silver clasp. Unless otherwise stated.

We use strong, durable and high quality beading wire to string our beaded jewellery and all findings are sterling silver.

We are happy to custom fit any necklace, should you wish to have one at a different length. Please contact us at hello@lunatree.co.uk prior to ordering so we can quote for your custom piece.

Caring for your Jewellery

Fine silver is 99.9% silver and our silver is usually between 96- 99%. Sterling silver in comparison is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper and other mixed metals. The purity of fine silver means it will tarnish (oxidise) less quickly than sterling silver and if you are sensitive to metals, Luna Tree jewellery, with its purity will not irritate sensitive skins.

Our jewellery is always nickel free.

All items over 7.78 grams are purity tested and hallmarked at the Birmingham Assay Office.

Luna Tree silver loves to be worn and wearing your pieces will keep them shining. When not being worn we recommend storing your jewellery in air tight containers away from sunlight in a cool dry place. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals such as hairspray, perfume and deodorant. Do not wear your jewellery when gardening, doing DIY, or bathing. Swimming pool chemicals will bring unwanted changes to the appearance of silver.

Clean your jewellery with a silver cleaning cloth when required. These are available from all high street jewellers and online merchants.

Luna Tree recommends the Talk Town silver cloth.

Deep Cleaning

For a deeper clean, to remove bacteria, submerge your silver jewellery in warm water with a little washing up liquid. This is all that is required as a cleaning solution. Soak your silver for about 30 minutes in the solution and use a soft toothbrush to gently clean. Rinse in fresh clean water and pat dry before buffing with a silver cloth. Gemstone jewellery can be safely cleaned this way too.

Luna Tree was established in 2007 selling fair trade, handmade, silver jewellery.

We have a simple philosophy at Luna Tree ' You are unique, your jewellery should be too'.

Built on deep rooted ethics of trade justice and environmental sustainability, we work directly with a community of Hill Tribe silversmiths in Thailand. Here we work in a collaborative way on the jewellery designs, while the village silversmiths run as a cooperative.

The jewellery is all recycled fine silver, produced with traditional silversmithing techniques and hand tools. This hands on approach gives the pieces a uniqueness all their own and an organic feel.

Luna Tree has been a continuous member of BAFTS The Fair Trade Network UK since 2009 and we are also a (Silver Status) Surfers Against Sewage Plastic Free Champion.

Everything we sell is suitable for vegans.
