    THERE IS A STORY BEHIND EACH ARIANOTTE JEWEL...

    Dulcius ex Asperis | Extension from Recycled Sterling Silver with Smokey Quartz

    This piece of jewellery was Arianotte's first piece of jewellery. It isn't even complete. It's just an extension but this beautiful smokey quartz was the first semi precious stone that we managed to track from a ethical supplier. For those who believe in the power of stones, the smokey quartz can fight depression and negativity and it is used to remove stress and to promote positivity. It took 5 years to create Arianotte and the road was full of obstacles but these difficulties made the launch of Arianotte much sweeter. That's why this piece had to get the title Dulcius ex Asperis (translated from Latin, "Sweeter After Difficulties").

    This multi-purpose piece is the ultimate travel companion, acting as a necklace extension, bracelet enhancer, chained earring extension, or even a hair accessory. Crafted with smoky quartz, it promotes positivity and helps relieve stress—perfect for travelers seeking both beauty and emotional well-being. The Dulcius Ex Asperis can also be combined with our other pieces, such as the "Ignore the Toxic" earring, to create a completely new look, offering endless possibilities.

    The chain can be sold separately or you can buy both the extension and the chain in the Necklaces Set Category.

    Sustainability

    Our sterling silver is recycled, our semi-precious stones are ethically sourced and We avoid precious stones like diamonds and rubies because of the conflicts over them. As a fair trade brand, we try to be as transparent as possible and for that reason we mention the origin of most of our products.

    Is recycled sterling silver as high quality as the typical sterling silver?

    Yes! Even extracted from used sterling silver items, the silver doesn't lose its value and it maintains its durability. It's still a precious metal after all. But by using recycled sterling silver, we manage to reduce the CO2 emissions, a consequence of mining. 

    Can I engrave my Arianotte piece?

    Yes, it is possible but the cost varies because it depends solemnly on what you want. It takes approximately 14 days to ship orders with engraved pieces.

    How to care for my jewellery?

    • Always store your jewellery pieces individually in cool and dry place, ideally in your Arianotte packaging so that they don’t rub together, scratch or tangle. Special care should be taken with gemstones to ensure that they do not knock against one another when stored.
    • Do not store your jewellery in your bathroom!
    • With time and wear, sterling silver will naturally become oxidised and eventually tarnish but if you store your jewellery properly, the oxidation process will slow down. 
    • The oxidation is also slowed down by wearing your jewellery often. But, If your jewellery is stored for long-periods of time, we recommend an occasional cleaning to maintain shine.
    • Sterling silver tarnishes, especially when exposed to salt air, products containing sulfur and other chemicals like soaps, creams or perfume. However, 925 silver jewelry is a great choice for daily wear. It's durable, versatile, with proper care and maintenance, your Arianotte silver jewelry can last for years to come.
    • The jewellery pieces with gemstones require special care. Take care to protect your jewelry from impact against hard surfaces and avoid contact with abrasive surfaces. Some stones are more delicate than others but all the gemstones can scratch or chip if hit with enough force or at just the right angle... Extreme temperatures, perfumes, cosmetics, ultrasonic cleaning and household chemicals can also damage jewelry.
    • Do not keep jewellery in direct sunlight as prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause many gemstones to fade and lose their colour.
    • Enamel can also chip or scratch when struck. Extreme temperatures, perfumes, cosmetics, ultrasonic cleaning and household chemicals can also damage jewelry.
