MATERIALS & CARES

Materials

All Weinan Pan jewellery pieces are developed with consideration for both material and environment.

Work is primarily realised in recycled 9ct, 14ct, 18ct and 22ct gold, alongside recycled sterling silver, sourced through established UK suppliers.

Gemstones are either reclaimed or responsibly sourced through trusted dealers, with attention to practices across mining, cutting, and polishing.

Selected coloured diamonds and gemstones may be treated to enhance their colour. For non-treated stones or bespoke commissions, enquiries are welcomed.

Living with the piece

Alloyed gold and silver are inherently responsive materials, registering contact, movement, and time.

Marks, tonal shifts, and surface changes are not considered imperfections, but part of the material’s natural behaviour — each piece gradually recording its own history through wear.

Surface variations and experimental finishes emerge through an ongoing material exploration, where traditional techniques meet intuitive making.

Rather than preserving a fixed condition, the work is intended to be worn and lived with — allowing traces of use to become integral to its evolving form.

Care

While the work is intended to evolve through wear and use, some may prefer to maintain its original surface condition.

For those who wish to maintain the original surface condition:

Clean gently using a soft jewellery cloth

If using a damp cloth, allow the piece to dry naturally

Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or humidity (such as saunas or steam rooms)

Avoid contact with perfumes, cleaning agents, and abrasive substances

Take care to prevent impact against hard surfaces

Pearls and softer gemstones require additional consideration.

Natural silk thread is used for pearl and bead pieces. As this may wear over time, periodic checking and restringing is recommended. This service can be arranged upon request.
