We are Charming — Dog

About the Design

"We are Charming”

Three charms, created as tiny "cute" figures, "drawn" with gold wire and featuring classic gemstones as their bodies. The figures are inspired by our three most beloved animal companions: the dog, the cat, and the fish. The title "We are Charming" refers to animals, us as humans, and charm jewelry.

Charms are often uniquely quirky, incredibly detailed, and highly personal. They can symbolize our irrational attachment to, for example, pets—our best friends, such as dogs, cats, and fish. Our relationship with them is deeply rooted in our human nature, which rarely operates rationally, especially when it comes to our love for pets. The three pendants, crafted in gold and gemstones, encapsulate this deeply rooted connection and the irrationality of our relationships with animals, our own humanity, and the beauty and irrationality of wearing jewelry.

Aren't we charming?

Please note, due to the untreated nature of sapphires, achieving identical colors and exactly the same carat weight is rare, but therein lies their beauty.

For a similar or different color, we will search for your preferred gemstone color and send you a quote along with a picture of the stone. Prices may vary depending on the color and size of the stone.

Natural / Green Lab

When you purchase diamonds from us, you always receive carefully selected options to ensure both quality and aesthetics. All of our larger natural diamonds (over 0.30 ct) come with a certificate.

We offer natural diamonds, which are typically found in white or slightly yellowish shades. To ensure the perfect diamond for your jewelry and preferences, we work closely with our diamond dealers in Antwerp. They help us find diamonds that match both your quality requirements and budget.

For those seeking a more budget-friendly alternative without compromising on beauty, we also offer lab-grown diamonds. These diamonds are created using green energy, and here you can get a larger stone for your money. However, it is important to note that lab-grown diamonds do not have the same rarity or future value as natural diamonds, as the market for these stones is widespread and continues to grow. But with that said we still see it as a good and beautiful alternative.

All our natural diamonds come with a unique certificate number, often laser-engraved on the diamond's girdle (the edge of the diamond). This number can only be seen with a 10-20x magnifying glass, making it easy to verify the authenticity of your diamond.

If you'd like to discuss sustainability or need help choosing between natural and lab-grown diamonds, we are ready for a personal conversation about your needs and preferences. The world is changing fast, and we closely follow how we can best advise you.

We offer a carefully selected alloys made with Fairtrade gold. This means we support responsible mining and ensure fair working conditions for miners, while providing jewelry of the highest quality.

When it comes to color, personal preference plays a big role, and we offer two beautiful options:

- Warm Yellow: Our 18 kt gold are made from 75% Fairtrade gold, alloyed with silver and copper, creating a rich, warm yellow hue.

- White Gold: For those who prefer an elegant gray tone, we offer 18 kt white gold, alloyed with silver and palladium. This combination results in a beautiful, warm gray color.

All of our “We are Charming” pendants can be made in 18 kt white or yellow gold.

Unlike the common practice in the jewelry industry, where white gold is often rhodium-plated to achieve a whiter color, we prefer the natural warm gray of our alloy. This also eliminates the need for regular re-rhodium plating.

Our white gold is nickel-free, as we use palladium and silver in our alloys. While this makes our white gold rings slightly more expensive than yellow gold, we believe it’s a worthwhile investment in both comfort and quality.
