care }
Precious matters products are always made with care. In the webshop you'll find unique, handmade items, one of a kind or produced in small series.
no stock - no cry }
Items are mostly designed, made, described, photographed, priced once. That’s it. Precious matters has not much of a stock. When items are made in series, the amount of copies left in stock is always available upon request.
material }
For the love of gold, silver, gemstones, brass, copper, rubber, wood, flowers, glass, ceramics, porcelain, resin, epoxy, paper, cardboard, ink, concrete, wool, leather, linen, cotton, but also disco-dip...
Considered precious or non-precious, either obviously valuable or secretly amazing, wanting to know all about their qualities, strength limitations makes these material equally interesting to me.
durability }
Durability is always taken into consideration when selecting material. Re-using, recycling, upcycling & repairing are first choice when possible. You'll find everything you want to know about the origin of your product in its description.
reclaimed gems }
If there’s one thing that makes me happy it’s finding and collecting vintage, antique and estate jewelry to deconstruct or just clean up and give new purpose. Some of it in perfect shape, some of it in need of love and care. Yes, some of it is just for me, but not all...
repair }
There's one, often overlooked, step after breaking something, before throwing it out: making an attempt to repair! Not everything is repairable, but wouldn't it be nice if we could at least try with traditional craft, new techniques or creative solutions?
hallmark }
Dutch law stipulates that precious metal objects must be provided with a quality hallmark. Waarborgholland is charged with implementing this 'waarborgwet'. This law applies to: gold from 1 gram, silver from 8 gram, platina from 0,5 gram.
