Our Materials

Timeless Quality, Ethical Sourcing

At Lucy Andy, we believe that jewellery should be as durable as it is beautiful. That’s why we carefully select high-quality, long-lasting materials that respect both the planet and the people involved in their production. From stainless steel with gold plating to natural gemstones, cultured pearls, and resin, every material we use is chosen for its sustainability, elegance, and resilience.

Stainless Steel & Gold Plating: Durable & Tarnish-Resistant

We use stainless steel with 18k gold plating, a combination that ensures both durability and style. Unlike traditional gold jewellery, gold-plated stainless steel offers the same luxurious appearance with a more sustainable and affordable approach.

✔ Why we love it:

• Stainless steel is highly resistant to tarnishing and corrosion, ensuring that your jewellery lasts for years.

• Gold plating minimises the need for excessive gold mining, reducing environmental impact.

• It is hypoallergenic, making it safe for sensitive skin.

Natural Gemstones: A Connection to Nature

Gemstones hold a special place in our designs—not just for their beauty, but for their energy and meaning. We carefully select natural gemstones from Argentina and other Latin American countries, supporting local economies and ethical sourcing.

✔ Why we love them:

• Each gemstone is unique, offering one-of-a-kind pieces.

• Many believe that gemstones carry spiritual and energetic properties.

• By sourcing from Latin America, we support small businesses and fair trade practices.

Cultured Pearls: Sustainable Elegance

Rather than using wild pearls, we choose cultured pearls, which are grown in controlled environments to protect marine ecosystems. These pearls offer the same natural beauty while ensuring a more ethical and sustainable approach.

✔ Why we love them:

• Cultured pearls preserve natural oyster populations.

• They add a classic and timeless element to our designs.

• Each pearl is carefully selected for its lustre and quality.

Resin: Colourful, Playful & Handmade

Resin allows us to create bold, colourful, and artistic jewellery. In our Resin Lab, each piece is handcrafted, ensuring that no two earrings are exactly alike. By working in small batches, we minimise waste and make the most of excess materials.

✔ Why we love it:

• Lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear.

• Endless creative possibilities, from translucent designs to vibrant hues.

• Handmade with care, making each piece unique.
