**A History of Ribbons:**
Ribbons have a storied history, originally serving as symbols of wealth and status among nobility and the upper class. By the 17th and 18th centuries, ribbons evolved into a fashionable accessory, adorning both men and women’s clothing. Their decorative use became prevalent, reflecting their integration into high fashion.
As early as the 11th century, St. Etienne, France, was known for producing lighter-weight ribbons, establishing itself as a cornerstone of the ribbon-weaving industry. While initially functional, ribbons soon embraced decorative roles, becoming a cherished element in fashion.
Celebrate the legacy of elegance with the Mon Chéri Locket, where historical charm meets modern sophistication.
Beautiful, unique and quality jewelry doesn’t have to come with a large price tag.
Metal information
Each collection is beautifully crafted from sterling silver and Gold Vermeil.
Sterling Silver
We use 925 Sterling Silver. The '925' represents 92.5% minimum pure silver. As pure silver is soft and malleable (making it prone to breakage), 7.5% is made up of alloy. This helps our silver remain durable and suitable for everyday use while remaining high quality. We plate our silver jewelry in rhodium, which gives it extra shine and durability. All of our sterling silver pieces are stamped with “925”.14k Gold Vermeil
Gold Vermeil, pronounced ver- may, differs from regular plating in that it involves a much thicker, higher quality layer of gold to ensure durability. Our pieces meet the highest standard of Gold Vermeil with a minimum of 2.5 microns thick of gold. Our Gold Vermeil uses 14 karat gold layered over Sterling Silver. All of our Gold Vermeil pieces are stamped with “925”. 14 karat Gold is chosen because of it’s subtle gold tone.
14k Solid Gold
Solid Gold is designed to last forever. Our 14k solid gold pieces are meant to be passed down to your loved ones and prized as heirloom pieces. Solid gold does not oxidize. Please be gentle with our solid gold pieces as they are dainty and can break if not cared for.
Jewelry Care
Because of the delicate nature of jewelry, please be mindful of how you wear your pieces and store them. When you are not wearing your jewelry, we recommend that you store your pieces in an enclosed jewelry box or airtight bag to keep them from the exposure of the outside elements. If they will be stored for a long period, ensure you wipe them down so that there is no exposure to fragrances in lotions, oil from skin, etc.
Please treat these lovely pieces with the utmost love & care.
Standard Rules of Thumb: (Gold Vermeil & Sterling Silver)
- Don't wear jewelry & accessories in water
- Remove before going to sleep
- Don't leave in extreme hot or cold temperatures
- Store in an airtight container or plastic bag since air can oxidize jewelry
- Perfumes & lotions may wear down the plating on your jewelry. Please apply these products before putting on your pieces. Any moisture/chemicals can oxidise your jewelry and cause it to darken.
- If your jewelry requires cleaning, we recommend using a polish cloth or soft cotton cloth on any metal part to reduce tarnish. Please keep in mind that everyone's personal skin PH levels and how often the jewelry is worn may determine how quickly it may tarnish for some people. Gold Vermeil jewelry is coated with multiple layers of gold and will last a long time if cared for.
