About our Jewellery
About our Jewellery
We take pride in using only the highest quality gemstones and pearls in our designs, and each and every one is hand-selected by our international team of experts. We never use anything fake such as plastic, resin, or glass pearls – everything in our designs is the real deal. This attention to detail ensures that you always receive the best possible product and a genuine stand-out design.
We do not advertise our brand as 'fashion jewellery' .. never have done and never will! We design and bring to you exclusive statement pieces, with every single design receiving the upmost care and attention. We don't design for the 'minions' with a once size fits all, but for those who genuinely want a stand-out piece that will last for many many years to come.
We try to be as open and transparent as we can. We don't use the term 'semi-precioius' as all gemstones are precious to Trovesse, in the sense that if they provide meaning and value to you in a piece of jewellery, they are special!
When we itemise all of our designs on our e-commerce store, providing as much information as possible with regard to size, colour and clarity of stones. Please contact us if you need any further clarification before purchasing.
We often get asked about how our jewellery is packaged. We do not supply pouches or bags with any of our jewellery, even our earrings. A special piece of jewellery deserves special packaging and our boxes are still slim enough to be packed away in a small vanity case for your holiday travels. All of our jewellery is beautifully presented in our Trovesse branded jewellery boxes, whether that is a pair of earrings, a bracelet, a ring or a necklace. Our baby pink jewellery boxes have a hinged lid with a hidden magnet, which keeps the jewellery box closed and secure. All jewellery boxes come with a cover cloth which will provide protection against any scratches; also protecting the knotting giving the jewellery a rather glamorous look. All of our jewellery boxes are made from FSC®-certified cardboard and water-based glue.
Our packaging pink boxes are all eco-friendly ensuring your jewellery arrives safe. Our mailing boxes are made from sturdy FSC®-certified corrugated cardboard, waterbased glue and paper strips.
Freshwater Shell Pearl
On our website, where you see "Freshwater Shell Pearl" this is manufactured from the inner lining of oyster shells. This is then ground down into a fine powder, which is then dyed, shaped and coated with a beautiful pearl nacre which provides a protective coating and it also provides the most amazing lustre. These are absolutely stunning and very heavy! South Sea Pearls can start in the late hundreds of pounds up to thousands of pounds and are a less expensive alternative to South Sea Pearls. ALL of our other pearls on our website are either freshwater or cultured top grade AAA+ to A.
Hearts & Flower Pendants & Silk Knotting & Clasps
All of our hearts and flower gemstone pendants that are in our SUPERMODEL & JUST UNIQUE COLLECTIONS are exclusively designed by Trovesse and shaped and drilled for us in Shanghai by Selina's team of skilled artisans. We truly believe this gives our jewellery a unique edge.
ALL of our jewellery is hand-knotted onto our fabulous nylon silks for durability and luxury by our skilled team of artisans. We don't just simply bead onto thread with any of our gemstones and pearls! To provide the most beautiful and luxurious look and to protect our beautiful pearls and gemstones, hand knotting provides this as well as providing protection against any breakage or damage. We either use a sterling silver O'Ring clasp, a magnetic clasp, a crystal flower clasp in silver or a 14kt gold filled flower clasp. We also use one of Selina's favourites which is the Chinese sliding knot which provides a great adjustable style for our necklaces and bracelets and also for a great fit where you can change your style for a more loose or tighter fit.
Measurements
All of our measurements are in inches (imperial) except for pendants which we measure in cm (metric). All measurements are approximate, so please check before ordering. All of our bracelets are approximately the same length, but due to pattern repeat and size of gemstone and pearls, these do vary.
Photography
We capture our designs on jewellery busts, with a close up (if required) and will try and show an honest representation of the stone, along with its clarity. We also believe that photographing necklaces for example onto jewellery busts provides a true depiction of how it will look like when worn. Where you see our jewellery on models throughout our store, this would have been Trovesse participating in a model shoot or fashion show.
Matching Options
On our designs, you will see many items have matching options available to purchase. For example, we would not necessarily recommend wearing a matching necklace, matching earrings and matching bracelet all at once, but we give you all options if you wish to purchase.
COLLECTIONS - CURRENTLY SS23 (Spring/Summer 2023)
We separate our jewellery into the following collections, but you will see many designs overlapping into other collections. Many designs can be worn for different occasions!
We have two seasons per year: SS (Spring/Summer) and AW (Autumn/Winter). Although, throughout each year, we do add new designs in between each collection launch. We currently have our SS23 collection on-line.
'Just Unique'
This collection consists of designs made by Marcia as concept ideas for new collections, to assist with fashion shows or helping to launch a new collection. We itemise the story of every single piece, its journey as some pieces are truly vintage (still new) but are over 20 years old. Also, there is normally one design ever made. Once it sells, it sells and will be taken down from our e-commerce store, so if you see something you like, buy it because it will not be replicated again!
'Supermodel'
This collection consists of our higher end designs where all of our flower and heart pendants are exclusively shaped and drilled for Trovesse, truly bringing you a truly unique piece of jewellery. In 2009, Trovesse were approached by Caprice Bourret to help her launch one of her lingerie collections, where you will Caprice Bourret wearing our Caprice Necklace!
'Bridal'
Whether you are looking for something classic or modern, traditional or futuristic - we have it covered. Trovesse is the perfect choice for your special day. We design the most fabulous coronets, tiaras, chokers and pearl jewellery so you can look unique and stand out. For our tiaras, we only use freshwater pearl, Swarovski crystal, gemstones and sterling silver wire or gold plate wire. On some of our selected designs, your tiara can be instantly turned into a fabulous and choker by simply adding a ribbon or chain (not supplied).
