FAQ
A smidgen of magic, reclaimed metals, and jewels sourced with love.
The North Way Studio is proud to create every handmade talisman with reclaimed, domestically refined fine metals, along with natural diamond melee traced back to their mines of origin, each through our casting house which is certified by the Responsible Jewelry Council.
Natural diamonds used within our creations as center stones range from reclaimed antiques, to Canadian origin upon request. Misfit Diamonds is a phenomenal diamond supplier that is available upon The North Way Studio for weaving into each amulet.
For gemstones, such as sapphires, spinel, and rubies, they are selected for their spark and soul from suppliers that Maria is not only honored to call friends, but who have also worked with The North Way Studio throughout the years to ensure as much transparency as possible when selecting a jewel for your token of love. Montana origin sapphires from Mountain Momma Gems, as well as Nigerian and Australian origin sapphires are available through Choice Gems in Seattle, Washington.
Moissanite is also available as lovely lab grown alternative for those seeking a colorless, brilliant stone with smaller price point. Each comes with a limited lifetime warranty from their supplier, Harro or Charles and Colvard. Lab grown diamonds from the Diamond Foundry in Washington state are also available upon request.
All creations are handcrafted in reclaimed and refined fine metals.
This includes 14 karat and 18 karat golds, platinum, or palladium. They are never plated over base metals. The North Way Studio only uses black rhodium plating as a patina for highlighting carved textures if the customer wants an aged, antiqued appearance to their piece. White rhodium plating is not used to allow the natural hue of white gold to shine through.
