The SPARTINA MERMAID JEWELRY SPRING/SUMMER 2017 The SPARTINA MERMAID Captivating colors, irresistible style—it was only natural that a mermaid became our insignia! The Spartina 449 mermaid is inspired by tales of sailors who, after nights of indulging in island spirits, gazed into the moonlit ocean and were convinced they saw mermaids swimming nearby. More than likely, they were actually swooning over local dolphins! For us, however, the legend is real. We incorporate an authentic Spartina mermaid into every product we design.

Like our signature linen and leather accessories, Spartina jewelry is crafted beautifully and meticulously. Our signature pieces blend high-quality 14- and 18- karat gold-plating, brilliant rhodium plating, colorful enamels, as well as selectively sourced crystal and resin gems and beads, including semi-precious stones and Swarovski glass. Combined, these materials make our jewelry shine and sparkle, capturing the glint of the summer sun, but also the attention of women across the country. Top-tier editors, stylists and fashion bloggers have regularly featured Spartina jewelry in Oprah Magazine, Redbook, Woman's Day, Glamour, on the TODAY Show, Good Morning America and more. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with you in your pursuit of great style. To show our gratitude, we kindly donate a portion of our proceeds to the Daufuskie Island Historical Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the Island’s distinct culture and heritage. 2 KALYPSŌ CORE LINE: linen and leather collection 3 CONTENTS SPRING/SUMMER 2017 *Denotes new styles available 06 KEYNOTES 10 Keynotes Locket Necklaces* 12 Keynotes Locket Notes* 14 Keynotes Assortments* 16 SEA LA VIE 16 SLV Druzy 18 SLV Sea Glass* 20 SLV Mermaids for Military 6 32 22 SLV Gold Locket Necklaces 24 SLV Gold Icon Necklaces 32 SLV Silver Icon Necklaces 44 34 SLV Gold Bracelets & Bangles 36 SLV Gold Icon Earrings* 38 SLV Silver Icon Earrings* 40 SLV Icon Chart* 42 SLV Displays & Assortments 44 KALYPSŌ 46 Kalypsō Necklaces* 94 49 Kalypsō Bead Wraps* 50 Kalypsō Bracelets & Bangles* 52 Kalypsō Earrings* 56 BEADED STRETCH BRACELETS* 94 PATTERN BANGLES 58 A TIME & PLACE 96 DISPLAY 103 Product Care Information 70 SOUTHERN STATE OF MIND On the Cover Bee Droplet Earrings 82 PASSAGE TO SAVANNAH 520348 / Pink Meadow Scarf 945504 / Bellflower Layered 86 WANDERLUST Necklace 18" 519618 90 ROYALE THIS PAGE (top to bottom) Beaded Horseshoe Earrings Teal 520997 / Beaded Collar Necklace 16" Teal 519632 / Bohème Elephant Pattern Bangle Icon 519700 / Tybrisa Anchor Pattern Bangle Icon 519717 5 Introducing Keynotes, our sleek & modern locket collection that discreetly holds powerful hidden messages, reminders that positive thoughts are the keys to a positive life.

  • Advertising Platinum Jewelry
    FTC FACTS for Business Advertising Platinum Jewelry ftc.gov The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC’s) Jewelry Guides describe how to accurately mark and advertise the platinum content of the jewelry you market or sell. Platinum jewelry can be alloyed with other metals: either precious platinum group metals (PGMs) — iridium, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, and osmium — or non-precious base metals like copper and cobalt. In recent years, manufacturers have alloyed some platinum jewelry with a larger percentage of base metals. Recent revisions to the FTC’s Jewelry Guides address the marking of jewelry made of platinum and non-precious metal alloys and when disclosures are appropriate. When Disclosures Should Be Made Product descriptions should not be misleading, and they should disclose material information to jewelry buyers. If the platinum/base metal-alloyed item you are selling does not have the properties of products that are almost pure platinum or have a very high percentage of platinum, you should disclose that to prospective buyers. They may want to know about the value of the product as well as its durability, luster, density, scratch resistance, tarnish resistance, its ability to be resized or repaired, how well it retains precious metal over time, and whether it’s hypoallergenic. You may claim your product has these properties only if you have competent and reliable scientific evidence that your product — that has been alloyed with 15 to 50 percent non-precious or base metals — doesn’t differ in a material way from a product that is 85 percent or more pure platinum. Facts for Business Terms Used in Advertising • Jewelry that has 850 parts per thousand pure platinum — meaning that it is 85 percent pure • Any item that is less than 500 parts per platinum and 15 percent other metals — may be thousand pure platinum should not be marked referred to as “traditional platinum.” The other or described as platinum even if you modify the metals can include either PGMs or non-precious term by adding the piece’s platinum content in base metals.

They can be found in the transition metals on the periodic table of the elements. A close-up of this part of the table is shown in Figure 1. Palladium is currently the group metals as contact surfaces for electronic only metal of the group in widespread use in electrical contacts, although platinum was widely connectors. used in the past. Rhodium is only used in electrical contact applications requiring very high hardness and wear resistance. The other three metals in the group are used mainly in other industrial applications. Pure, electroplated platinum and palladium have a hardness of around 200 to 400 HV, although . Platinum they may also be applied by cladding. Both have a conductivity of around 16% IACS.

  • Rhodium Plated Over Sterling Silver
    Rhodium Plated over Sterling Silver Some of my items are bought from various places around the world and are rhodium plated. Although rhodium plating is commonly used in jewellery, not many people know what it is. Rhodium plating is used to enhance the lustre and durability of metals such as silver and white gold and gives a smooth, shiny finish to the jewellery. It is especially attractive when used for diamond rings, as it can really enhance the brilliance of the diamond. However, there are some downsides to choosing rhodium plating, such as the time and money involved in ongoing re-plating over the years. Not sure if rhodium plating is something you want to deal with? Here we outline the 10 things you need to know about rhodium plating before you buy. Rhodium plating, also known as rhodium dip or rhodium flashing, is used to increase the durability, lustre and light reflection of a piece of jewellery. Because it is a hard metal, a rhodium plated piece of jewellery will be more scratch resistant. Rhodium plating is mainly used on silver-hued metals, such as white gold, palladium or silver. Most rhodium plating has a thickness of .75 to 1.0 microns. Rhodium plated jewellery like this ring show a highly polished finish. Sterling silver is a white metal and does not necessarily need rhodium plating to acquire its colour. However, it tends to tarnish over time. To prevent this, rhodium plating silver jewellery will ensure that the piece is highly lustrous and remains tarnish-free for a long time.

  • Heraeus Precious Appraisal I 1 Precious Metals Review
    HERAEUS PRECIOUS Ed. 21 APPRAISAL st 21 June 2021 MARKET SPOTLIGHT Auto chip shortage: a respite for palladium and rhodium? A shortage of semiconductors is the greatest risk to automotive PGM demand this year. Automakers cut their semiconductor chip orders in Q3’20 in line with pandemic-weakened vehicle sales, meanwhile chip-makers focused production on the lucrative consumer electronics sector. When automotive orders rebounded stronger than expected in Q4’20, a global shortage of chips emerged. As a result, almost every automaker has been forced to idle production at some point this year. The automotive sector is the largest end-user for platinum, palladium and rhodium, accounting for 41%, 83% and 88%, respectively, of total demand for each metal. The full-year impact on global vehicle production is currently forecast to be around 2 million units, mainly weighted towards Europe and North America (source: LMC Automotive, May 2021 estimate). Vehicle losses to this extent could reduce PGM demand by more than 300 koz this year, with palladium and rhodium consumption predicted to be particularly hard hit owing to the dominance of gasoline light vehicles in the areas worst affected by production cuts. Estimated light vehicle production impact Auto chip shortage: impact PGM demand Units (000) % loss of total auto demand 2021 Automakers begin to 1,000 0.0% recoup lost production in H2’21 500 -0.5% -1.0% 0 -1.5% -500 Pan Europe North America -2.0% -1,000 South America China -2.5% -1,500 Asia-Pacific (less China) -3.0% RoW -2,000 -3.5% Q1 2021 Q2 2021 Q3 2021 Q4 2021 Pt Pd Rh Source: LMC Automotive (publicly available data) Source: SFA (Oxford) However, the impact on PGM demand is being mitigated by automakers’ ‘adapt and overcome’ response.
