Which materials are used in RabLabs designs?
RabLabs designs are created using semi-precious gemstones, combined with pure silver, 24k gold, and rose gold. They also utilize materials like stainless steel, plated metals, and glass. These materials are chosen to last forever, and to retain their quality for generations to come. Each piece is unique, because of the materials, and the variation in the designs.
Where do the materials come from?
All RabLabs pieces are designed in areas of the world close to where the gemstones originate, in partnership with multi-generation, family-owned artisanal companies in Brazil and Italy, to produce these hand-made designs.
What is natural variance, and how will it affect my item?
Each of the gemstones used in RabLabs designs is natural, hand-selected, and unique. Therefore, these products will vary in size, shape, and color. While RabLabs has standardized its pieces to a degree, nature will always dictate some variance. It is this variation that makes these pieces rare and one-of-a-kind. Unfortunately, it is not possible to fulfill requests for more or less striations, a specific color shade, or a particular size or shape.
How do I care for my RabLabs pieces?
Most of RabLabs pieces simply need to be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Products with pure silver gilding will require cleaning with silver polish.
