Cut from sheet and wire
We buy recycled sterling silver as sheet and wire, then saw, file and bend each part by hand.
Recycled silver, made in Kalk Bay
Silver made by hand, a few steps from the sea
Rings, earrings and chains we cut, solder and polish ourselves from recycled sterling silver. Most pieces are posted within three working days.
Shop by piece
Four kinds of jewellery, all in sterling silver.
The pieces we make most
The ones people come back for, often to buy a second as a gift.
How a piece is made
Everything happens at our two benches, from the first saw cut to the last polish.
Joined with a flame
Every join is soldered at the bench, then the piece is shaped round a steel mandrel.
Polished until it feels right
A long tumble and a final polish by hand, so every edge is smooth against your skin.
Rings for stacking
Thin bands that sit well together. Each one is made in your size after you order.
What comes with every piece
The small promises we have kept since the first ring we sold.
Recycled sterling silver
All our silver is 925 sterling, refined from old jewellery and workshop offcuts.
Ready to give
Posted in a cotton pouch inside a small card box. There is never a price inside.
Resized free for a year
If a ring of ours stops fitting, post it back and we resize it once at no charge.
A free polish, any time
Send any Tidemark piece back for a clean and polish. You only pay postage one way.
Before you order
What people usually ask us about sizes, delivery and silver.
How do I give my ring size?
After you order, reply to your order email with your size. If you are not sure of it, say so and we post you a free paper sizer before we make the ring.
How long does delivery take?
Pieces in stock are posted within three working days and usually arrive two to four days later. Rings made to size need up to seven working days at the bench first.
Will silver mark my skin?
Sterling silver rarely does. It darkens slowly in the air, and a soft polishing cloth brings the shine back in a minute.
Can I return something?
Yes, within 14 days if it is unworn and back in its pouch. Rings made to your size can be resized, but not returned.
Can you add initials?
We can stamp up to three letters on the bar of the toggle necklace. Reply to your order email with the letters you want.
Can I see the jewellery in person?
The studio is open on Saturday mornings from 9 to 12, and you are welcome to try things on.
