What are our products made of?

"Alabastrite" - Alabastrite is a stone-based material which can be intricately molded producing great detail and will allow paint to adhere. These items may be cleaned by dusting, however, they should not be washed with water as they are painted with water soluble paints.

"Bone China" - White clay with bone ash added. Bone ash content must be at least 25% by US guidelines. Fired at 1800 degrees, the translucent material is finished with a glaze or underglaze (matte). Lighter, stronger, more expensive than porcelain.

"Jade Porcelain" - Jade porcelain is a type of porcelain made with a finer clay. Usually no glaze or only a colorless glaze will be applied at the final firing to show off the very smooth surface and to preserve the translucency. Jade Porcelain is used for night lights because of its high degree of translucency when lit.

"Stoneware" - White clay with fine ground stone. Working with stoneware demands great expertise, and is in fact becoming a lost art. Stoneware is safe to use in microwave and conventional ovens.

"Patchwork" - Unique fabric or paper prints are applied to the surface of porcelain, dolomite or polyresin items. After application, 12 layers of lacquer are added and the item is hand polished to a high gloss between each layer.

"Cubic Zirconia" - The most successful simulated diamond. Properties such as refraction, hardness, and specific gravity are remarkably similar to diamonds. Cubic Zirconia are very hard to distinguish from diamonds; sometimes a jewelers loop will be needed to see the difference.

"Gold" - The ultimate precious metal, virtually indestructible, amazingly malleable, doesn't rust or tarnish. Graded by purity; in the US a scale of 24 is used, so 24 Karats (24K) is 100% pure. 18K is 18 parts gold and 6 parts alloy (other metals), and so on. 10K is the legal minimum for Karat-graded gold. The word "Plumb" indicates the exact purity of the piece.

"Gemstones" - Rubies, sapphires, emeralds and amethysts, often treasured as birthstones, fall under the category of gemstones. Gemstones are priced and graded by Carat weight.

"Pearl" - A smooth, lustrous, variously-colored deposit formed around a grain of sand in the shell of a certain mollusk. Pearls my be formed naturally or "cultured" through an artificial implanting process.

"Sterling Silver" - To qualify as "sterling" a given piece must be composed of at least 92.5% pure silver.

"Hong Tze" - To closely emulate a special stone found in China which is known for its deep red color, these items are created using an alabastrite polyresin. Hong Tze pieces are highly polished, further bringing out the intense, deep red color.

"Frosted Acrylic" - Acrylic items are given the French Lilac process,(used on glass), to achive the distintive frosted look. The drama of frosted glass without the weight.

"Dolomite" - A magnesia-rich, sedimentary rock resembling limestone, dolomite is either gray, pink or white in color.
