KAMINO

FAQ

Are all KAMINO pieces handmade?
Yes. Every piece is made by hand in small quantities. Because of this, you might notice tiny differences in shape, texture or finish. I see these as part of what makes each piece its own.

What materials do you use?
I mainly work with sterling silver, natural gemstones and freshwater pearls. You’ll find the exact materials used in the description of each piece.

Are the gemstones natural?
Yes, I work with natural stones, which means their colour, pattern and shape can vary. No two stones are completely identical and that’s exactly the point.

Why does my silver jewellery change colour?
Sterling silver naturally oxidises over time and can become darker or slightly dull. This is completely normal and can usually be removed with a soft silver polishing cloth. Personally, I also love when silver develops a little character from being worn.

Can I wear my KAMINO jewellery in water?
Occasional contact with water won’t necessarily harm sterling silver, but I recommend taking your jewellery off before swimming, showering or visiting a sauna — especially pieces containing gemstones, pearls, silk or other delicate materials.

Will my piece look exactly like the one in the photo?
Not always — and I think that’s one of the nicest things about handmade jewellery. Natural stones vary, and handmade shapes are never perfectly identical. Your piece will follow the same design while having its own small differences.

Can I request a custom piece?
I occasionally make custom pieces when time and materials allow. If you have an idea, send me a message and let’s see what we create together?

Is KAMINO pieces providing any jewelry workshops?
I did few in the past and I am currently looking for a space where this could happen. If you have your own space or event though, I will be glad to become a part of it providing a jewelry making workshop .

Where is KAMINO jewellery made?
Every KAMINO piece is handmade by me in Austria, from the first idea to the final polish.
