Shoto Sterling 19-T05 Pyrit

With the centuries-old experience of the Zuni and Navajo Indians, all silver pieces are traditionally handcrafted in the southwest of the U.S.A..
The processed silver has a fineness of at least 925/1000 and comes from certified American mines that are subject to the control of the American environmental authorities.

Deep contrasts are created by oxidation and subsequent polishing. High-standing pieces thus regain a smooth, shiny surface, while joints, grooves and indentations remain dark. Each silver piece is processed individually and by hand. This makes each piece individual and unique.

We exclusively process high-quality semi-precious stones in selected qualities, up to "AA" and "AAA" grades. The processed stones and minerals are sawn, worked and polished in certified factories in Germany, North America, Thailand and India.

For ethical and political reasons, we deliberately refrain from purchasing semi-precious stones and minerals from China.

In some designs we use beads made from prehistoric mammoth ivory that is at least 4,500 years old.
We source our mammoth beads from Alaska, where they are dug out of the ice by the Inuit and processed.

The gem-quality fossilised dinosaur bone beads we process are among the rarest fossils in the world.
They come from dinosaurs that lived on the Colorado Plateau in the southwest of the USA about 150 million years ago.

Our current "highlight" are bands with a central sphere of "Campo del Cielo" meteorite. This meteorite originally comes from the asteroid belt and is as old as our solar system (4.2 - 4.3 billion years).
The design, composition and production of all the jewellery pieces are passionately handcrafted in Germany.
