Materials

Each Kismo piece is made using carefully selected materials chosen for both beauty and wearability. Specific materials are always listed on individual product pages.

Because many pieces are handmade and use natural or experimental materials, subtle variations in color, texture, and form are expected and embraced.

 

Metals

Common metals used include:

  • Sterling Silver

  • Gold-filled components

  • Gold-plated stainless steel

  • Surgical-grade stainless steel

These materials are selected for comfort, durability, and suitability for everyday wear.

 

Resin

Resin is used as a creative medium to capture color, depth, and organic movement. Each resin piece is individually formed, resulting in unique variations that make every piece one of a kind.

Resin is a petroleum-based material and not biodegradable; it is used thoughtfully and in small batches to minimize waste.

 

Natural stones & elements

Many designs incorporate natural gemstones, pearls, or mineral elements. Because these materials form organically, variations in color, clarity, and pattern are natural and part of their character.

 

Handmade variation

Due to the nature of handmade production and natural materials, no two pieces are exactly alike. These variations are part of what makes each Kismo piece distinctive.
