Funky, colourful and never ever too boring. Our bijoux collection is perfect for letting the sunshine in your life.
Our Crete hoops are made of gold-plated stainless steel and one-of-a-kind, vintage corals. You can take the stones out and wear the hoops solo or in different variations.
Every piece is unique. They are made by hand in Germany.
They come in a beautiful Smilla Brav jewellery box.
Due to the unique nature of the stones, every piece is different and the sizes may vary.
After each use gently wipe your jewellery with a soft cloth and store it in the original Smilla Brav jewellery box or dust bag. Always protect it from sharp blows, scratching, chemicals, sunlight and heat/cold. Keep silver in a dark, cool and dry place. Salt water, detergents, harsh chemicals such as chlorine bleach, hairspray, perfume and perspiration can cause damage and discolouration. We use a lot of vintage and reused components in our designs, please make sure to use and store your jewellery according to the care instructions.
We aim to dispatch every order within 2-3 business days. Please note, some items are crafted after your order is placed, which may extend the shipping time. This extra care ensures you receive a product of exceptional quality.
Please specify your desired size in the notes during the checkout process. As our products are handmade, sizing may vary. If there is any price difference associated with your requested size, we will promptly inform you. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your understanding of the unique nature of handmade items.

FAQ
"Is your jewelry resistant to tarnishing?"
"Our jewelry is designed to be tarnish-free. However, it's important to avoid exposing it to saltwater, perfumes, and chemicals. Additionally, some components may be recycled, reused, or vintage, so please handle them with care."
"Can you confirm if the product is genuinely handmade, or is it merely a claim of sustainability without substantial proof?"
We do not engage in large-scale, factory-style production. Our pieces are created in small batches, ensuring individual attention to detail. We are always happy to share insights into our production process and introduce you to the artisans behind our creations. This transparency is a testament to our commitment to handmade craftsmanship.
"Could you provide details about the guarantee?"
"All items undergo thorough inspection before being dispatched, ensuring top-notch quality. Additionally, we offer repair services to address any potential issues."
Why do your products command a higher price compared to similar alternatives?
Our products prioritize quality and sustainable materials, occasionally resulting in higher pricing compared to similar looking items. Factors include customization options, small batch production, fair wages for artisans, and investment in unique features. And good to know: Relative to our established standards, the price is considered affordable.
Why don't you offer free returns?
Most of our products are crafted after we receive your order. Individually made items often require a significant amount of time and labor to produce. Offering free return shipping can be costly for businesses, especially for smaller ones. And most important kindly keep in mind the environmental impact as you make your decision.
Is it possible to create a necklace in a specific size?
Please specify your desired size in the notes during the checkout process. As our products are handmade, sizing may vary. If there is any price difference associated with your requested size, we will promptly inform you. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your understanding of the unique nature of handmade items.
