All Shy Creation items are hand set and all stones are natural and hand-picked. Each piece is unique and you can expect slight variations in the shade, hue, and tint of the color stones. White gold is electroplated with rhodium. These finishes may wear off with frequent use. The natural color gemstones featured here may have been subject to an enhancement process or treatment (e.g. heating, oiling, diffusion, waxing, etc.). These treatments may not be permanent and may require special care.
