At The Vintage Secret, our jewellery is made from a combination of high quality gold filled, sterling silver, rhodium plated, ternary alloy plated and gold plated chains and findings. These will not tarnish if taken care properly.  Our pearl necklaces are made with fresh-water pearls, hand-strung on silk thread. Our pearl drops are shell pearls, which are man-made using mother-of-pearl. We use these materials to ensure our jewellery is affordable yet high quality.  All products are free from nickel and lead.  For specific material details, please consult the respective product descriptions.  If you have further questions regarding the materials or any  allergies, please contact us.
