What is Fig's jewelry made of?
- FIG'S jewelry is made of 925 silver (sterling silver) and reycled silver. My supplier is French and has been around for 200 years! I also recycle my own scraps.
- The fine stones used are purchased from British, Indian and American (USA) suppliers, but by their nature, the stones can come from further afield.
- The Customizable ring is made of aluminium, in order to be able to offer lower prices. This collection is, however, doomed to disappear.
What are Lab-Grown Sapphires and Emeralds?
Lab-grown sapphires and emeralds are gemstones created in a laboratory that possess the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as their natural counterparts. They are produced using advanced techniques, in our case the hydrothermal method, which replicates the natural geological conditions necessary for crystal formation.
Nutrients like aluminum oxide for sapphires or beryllium and aluminum for emeralds are dissolved in a specific solvent. This solution is then placed in a high-pressure, high-temperature chamber called an autoclave, where the nutrients form crystals over several weeks.
Advantages of Lab-Grown Sapphires and Emeralds:
- Quality: Often clearer and without major inclusions compared to natural stones.
- Ecology: Less environmental and social impact compared to mining.
- Cost: Less expensive than natural stones, while retaining the same beauty and durability.
How do I measure my ring size?
The best, easiest and most precise way to mesure your finger is to use a ring sizer. You can buy one on Fig's eshop for 3€. Together with it, you'll receive a 3€ coupon code for your next order.
Here is an other way to mesure your finger (but less precise) : wrap a strip of paper or string around your finger, not too tightly or too loosely. Indicate with a small line the place where the 2 ends intersect, then measure the length found with a ruler. The measurement in millimeters is your finger size! (ex: 5cm = size 50)
How do I measure my wrist size?
Unlike ring sizing, wrist measurement doesn't require extreme precision.
Here's a simple method for Fig's chains: wrap a string or paper band around your wrist snugly. Indicate with a small line the place where the two ends intersect, then measure the length found with a ruler. Add at least 2cm to accommodate for comfort (we don't recommend adding more than 4cm). This extra length ensures your bracelet won't feel too tight. Remember, a slightly longer chain is preferable to one that's too short.
Aim for a fit that feels secure without being overly loose, ensuring your bracelet stays comfortably in place.
How to take care of my jewelry?
- Avoid leaving your jewelry in a damp place (the bathroom is therefore to be avoided...)
- Store your jewelry in a small box if possible when you are not wearing it.
- Avoid bringing them into contact with "chemical" products such as hydroalcoholic gel, unnatural household products, etc...
- Wipe them from time to time with the small tissue you received in your order!
- Brush them with a soft toothbrush (to avoid scratching them), some soap and clean water.
How is my order packaged?
Your order is placed in a box in the colors of FIG'S, then protected with tissue paper. Everything is sent in a recyclable cardboard shipping box, with a care note, cleaning cloth and a thank you note.
