Material
Every piece is made, finished and polished by hand in the Brussels studio.
Sterling silver
All Isabelle Lenfant designs are made in 925 sterling silver, the finest quality of silver: 925/1000 of pure silver. Nickel is not used at any stage of production.
The finish is hand-polished, for the best and deepest lustre. Sterling silver oxidises over time — it gradually turns black. This is a natural process, and part of the joy of wearing silver: many designs gain even more character with it. It is easily removed with a product made for cleaning silver, or with a soft cloth. 18 carat gold is stable and does not oxidise.
18 Carat Gold
All Isabelle Lenfant jewelry can be handmade in 18 carat gold — yellow, white or pink — on request. 18 carat gold means at least 750/1000 of pure gold. The metals used comply with international jewelry regulations, and no nickel is used at any stage of production. 18 carat gold is stable and will not oxidise.
Gold pieces are made to order and cannot be returned. Their price follows the gold market: write to us for a quote at isabellelenfant@gmail.com
18K Plated Gold Silver
Sterling silver with 18K gold plating: 5 microns for rings and bracelets, 2 microns for necklaces, earrings and pendants. Made to order, and cannot be returned.
Plating wears away over time with friction and the acidity of the skin, revealing the silver, which then oxidises. It suits careful wearers: avoid sleeping, swimming, sport, perfume, make-up and household products.

Customisation
Engraving, by machine or by hand. Precious stones of about 0.9 to 1.2 mm, some of which can be set inside the ring, against the skin. Other gemstone colours are possible on the Trace, Brilliance and L’Eclat rings.

Care
925/1000 sterling silver, hand-polished, lead and nickel free. Silver oxidises naturally — it turns black with sweat, the acidity of the skin, sulphur and moisture. It is part of its charm.
Avoid sleeping, swimming, sport, perfume and make-up with your jewelry. Clean it with a silver-cleaning product or a soft cloth.
