What materials does Tabra use? How does Tabra make her products?
14K gold is used for all earring posts until further notice. 925 sterling
silver is used for all French Wires. In addition to sterling silver, 14 kt
gold, 22 kt gold vermeil, 14 kt gold- fill, bronze, antiqued brass & copper
are used with stones, beads, shells, dichroic glass, hand-cast resin, carved
bone, and other components.
Does Tabra use bone and shell that are endangered species?
Many countries have different regulations for import and endangered species.
Tabra will never knowingly use a material that would be offensive or illegal
in any country in the world. No elephant ivory is ever used.
Is all of Tabra’s jewelry handmade?
Yes, other than a few components and earring backs and clasps. Tabra designs
every piece and assembles every prototype. The design process is long as
Tabra may match stones and beads for hours - and sometimes days. Many of the
items are assembled and beaded by Tabra herself as they are one of a kind.
Usually this includes many, many reassemblies until the perfect combination
is reached. All silver work is fabricated or cast by hand by Indonesian
craftspeople in Bali. Tabra extensively trains the craftspeople and usually
QC’s each piece to ensure perfection. All assembly is completely by hand.
What is Sterling Silver?
Silver is a precious metal and much like gold it is too fine to be made in a
100% form. To make it durable for jewelry, sterling silver is formed by
using 92.5% silver with other metals as it is everywhere in the world.
How should I care for my Tabra jewelry?
Keep your jewelry away from chlorine, salt water, lotions and creams, etc.
Rinse your jewelry occasionally in warm water. DO NOT use liquid silver
cleaners. Tabra recommends using a Sunshine polishing cloth or similar cloth
to keep your jewelry looking new. For those who want to purchase a Sunshine
polishing cloth, they will be available through this website.
Instruction for Cuff Bracelets
Please note that resizing or reshaping your cuff bracelet by hand may loosen
stones and void your product warranty. Most bracelets do not need resizing
if worn properly. Re-sizing and reshaping is best done by a qualified
jeweler.
