Values
SUSTAINABLE
Sofia Maria believes in conscious buying and making. All the materials she uses to handcraft her pieces are selected with special care and consideration.
A local approach means that all materials have been sourced locally in Australia and any job that she needs assistance with - like some stone settings - is practised by local Sydney jewellers. The gold plating service that she uses is not in Sydney, yet it is located in NSW.
All of her suppliers and helpers are located in Australia and she predominantly supports smaller female-owned businesses.
ARTISAN + AUSTRALIAN MADE
All pieces by Sofia Maria are custom-designed one piece at a time. Sofia doesn’t feel comfortable designing a whole collection and then adding lots of pieces to her store but rather slowly handmakes each piece to order.
Sofia sources all materials locally in Australia and makes every piece by hand in her studio located in Manly Beach.
MINIMAL WASTE
All Sofia Maria pieces are handcrafted out of 100% recycled metals. All the scrap metal that Sofia has at the end of the day is re-used for new designs.
Care
Jewellery should be kept away from water and humid environments. Please store in a secure, dry place between wears.
Slight variances in colour or marks of age may be present in your jewellery. Please expect the colour, texture and tone of your piece to vary slightly from the items depicted in photographs. Every piece is unique.
Soft imperfections may occur in the final finish of Sofia Maria's items which is a characteristic of these handmade pieces.
Repairs (including re-plating) are accepted and are subject to a fee depending on the nature of the damage.
