Question 10

Where Do You Get Your Materials?

Accepted Answer

We make jewelry with integrity. ARK is a female-owned small business operating from Los Angeles, where all of our jewelry is produced and designed. The collection is crafted by a small team of skilled artisans who take pride in their work. In the studio, we recycle as much gold as possible. For non-recycled metal, our caster works exclusively with fair trade, fair mined gold. We work with extremely reputable diamond and gemstone dealers both locally and abroad. Our melee (accent diamonds) are conflict-free and consistently sourced from a single supplier. Diamonds over 0.5ct are individually selected and will be sold with a GIA certificate. Colored stones and the rough stone for our inlay are hand selected on a piece by piece basis.

Question 11

How Do I Care For My ARK Jewelry?

Accepted Answer

When not being worn, we recommend jewelry be stored in its pouch.  It does not like bleach, household cleansers, hard surfaces, or rough and tumble activities. Please note that ultrasonic cleaning is too aggressive for most gemstones. We recommend professional cleanings annually.

What Is Your Return Policy?
