Material and Care Guide
All Sophie Bille Brahe jewellery is crafted from superior quality and precious stones. Great care and attention to details go into selecting the materials, designing and crafting each piece. We are committed to source responsible materials that are less harmful to our planet and communities. We work closely with our partners to ensure a responsible and ethical production. We strive to promote the respect of human rights and environmental practices in our supply chain.
Gold
All our jewellery is made of 100% certified recycled gold which is obtained by repurposing and refining previously mined gold. The gold comes with a COC certification (Chain of Custody) that the quality, purity, colour and look of the gold remain the same as new mined gold.
Diamonds
All Sophie Bille Brahe diamond pieces are crafted in 18K certified recycled gold and feature predominantly Top Wesselton VVS diamonds (F-G colour). All our diamonds are conflict-free. We are committed to improve the transparency on origin of all our diamonds.
Pearls
All Sophie Bille Brahe pearl pieces are crafted in 14K certified recycled gold and feature akoya, round or baroque freshwater pearls.

To ensure longevity of your jewellery, we recommend:
- Treat with care and avoid strenuous activities which will expose your jewellery to knocks and scratches.
- Remove your jewellery before bed, showering and washing your hands.
- Avoid exposing your jewellery to perfume, hair products and cosmetics.
- Store your pieces separately to avoid scratching.
How to clean and maintain:
Jewellery can become tarnished from daily wear and pollutions in the air. In order to restore luster and shine, we advise you to polish your gold pieces with a dry and clean polishing cloth. Diamond pieces are to be cleaned using a soft bristle brush and warm soapy water, followed by a rinse in warm water, and dried with a soft cloth. Pearls are organic and very sensitive to chemicals found in soap and beauty products. These pieces are to be cleaned with a soft cloth.
Consider your jewellery the finishing touch. Let them be the last thing you put on when getting ready to avoid chemicals found in beauty products.
For diamond pieces, please have the settings checked by a professional annually.
To ensure the longevity of your jewellery cases, we recommend to:
- Keep out of direct sunlight, to avoid colours from fading and discolouration.
- Avoid placing the boxes where they may be exposed to heat (ie. radiator).
Please note that the boxes are made out of a soft material, and that small marks in the velvet can occur, especially if stacked with other objects and boxes.
We provide professional cleaning and maintenance services of all Sophie Bille Brahe pieces.
