Premium Materials

Every Founders piece begins with solid 925 sterling silver.

We chose sterling silver because it strikes the balance we were looking for. It has real weight, develops character over time and has been trusted by craftsmen for centuries. Unlike cheaper alternatives, it's a precious metal with lasting value.

For our silver pieces, we apply a platinum coating to create a brighter, cleaner finish while adding another layer of protection for everyday wear.

For our gold pieces, we plate the sterling silver in 14k gold before sealing it with a nano-ceramic coating. We deliberately chose 14k over 18k because it's tougher, more resistant to everyday wear and better suited to jewellery that's made to be worn, not stored away.

We don't believe jewellery should feel disposable. Every material has been chosen with longevity, durability and everyday wear in mind.

Care Guide

Your jewellery is made to be worn.

Like anything you value, looking after it simply helps it stay at its best for longer.

Although every piece is protected with our nano-ceramic coating, plated jewellery naturally wears over time. Salt water, chlorine, perfumes, lotions and repeated friction can all gradually affect the finish.

When you're training, swimming or doing manual work, we recommend removing your jewellery where possible. When you're not wearing it, keep it in the pouch or box provided to help prevent unnecessary scratches.

Cleaning is simple. Use the polishing cloth included with every order for regular cleaning. If needed, warm water with a drop of mild soap is all that's required before drying with a soft cloth.

Treat it well, and it will continue to carry its finish, character and presence for years to come.

Craftsmanship

Every Founders piece starts long before any metal is poured.

What looks simple often takes the longest to perfect. A slight change in thickness, proportions or finish can completely change how a piece feels when worn.

Every design goes through countless revisions before production begins. Samples are worn, adjusted and remade until we're confident every detail feels right—not just on a screen, but in everyday life.

Once approved, each piece moves into production. Moulds are created, finishes are refined and every stage is completed with consistency in mind. Precision takes time, and that's a compromise we're happy to make.

We could move faster.

Instead, we'd rather create jewellery you'll still enjoy wearing years from now than rush something to market before it's ready.

That's why every Founders piece is built with intention—from the first sketch to the final polish.
