FAQ | Sun Salt Silver

Real questions from soulful collectors and wild-hearted dreamers.

🌕 About the Artist & the Brand

Who makes Sun Salt Silver jewelry?

Every piece is handcrafted by me, René — artist, silversmith, and the heart behind Sun Salt Silver. I create modern-day talismans in my home studio, using silver, fire, and feeling to bring each design to life. Nothing is mass-produced, ever.

What is Sun Salt Silver known for?

I’m known for handcrafted silver jewelry that feels soulful and meaningful — wearable art that connects you to your story, your spirit, and your sense of freedom. Each piece is made with intention and designed to feel like you.

What inspired the name Sun Salt Silver?

The name comes from the elements that move me most — sunlight, ocean air, and silver. It’s about nature, freedom, and soul. The warmth of the sun, the grit of the salt, and the grounding energy of silver all live inside every piece I make.

What does “handcrafted jewelry with soul” really mean?

It means every design begins with meaning, not trends. I work intuitively, following the energy of each stone and story. Every ring, pendant, or cuff carries something deeper — a reminder of who you are, or the chapter you’re stepping into.

🌙 About the Process & Materials

Is Sun Salt Silver jewelry handmade?

Yes. Every single piece is cut, shaped, soldered, and polished by hand using traditional silversmithing techniques. I don’t use molds or mass-production tools — just silver, fire, and intuition.

What materials do you use?

I work primarily with fine and sterling silver, paired with soulful natural stones like turquoise, opal, labradorite, shark tooth fossils, and other cabochons with energy and story. I source my stones mindfully from small, ethical suppliers.

What makes your jewelry unique?

Each piece is one-of-a-kind — built from instinct, not sketches. I let the shape of the stone and the feeling of the moment guide the design. That’s what gives every creation its raw, organic energy and sense of soul.

Where is Sun Salt Silver jewelry made?

All of my work is handcrafted in my studio. It’s quiet, intentional, and full of story — a place where every piece is made slowly and with care, one at a time.

🔮 For the Collector & the Dreamer

Who is Sun Salt Silver jewelry made for?

For the woman who’s done trying to fit in. She’s in her barefoot era — bold, soulful, and free. She’s craving meaning, connection, and art that reflects who she truly is. My jewelry is for those who want to feel something when they wear it.

What do you mean by “modern-day talisman”?

A talisman is a symbolic object that carries personal meaning, energy, or protection. My jewelry is designed as modern-day talismans — pieces that remind you of your strength, freedom, and story every time you wear them.

How should I choose a piece?

Let it find you. I believe the right piece speaks — it catches your attention for a reason. Trust that feeling. The piece that calls to you is often the one your soul already recognizes.

Can I request a custom piece?

Yes. I occasionally take on custom work for those who want to mark a milestone or create something personal. You can reach out directly through my customers & commissions contact page or email me to start the conversation.

Caring for Your Jewelry

How should I care for my Sun Salt Silver jewelry?

Your jewelry is built to last and to be lived in. To keep it shining:

• Store it in a dry place when not worn.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged water exposure.
• Clean gently with a soft cloth or polishing pad.
• Please see my ‘Jewelry Care’ page for more information.

Each piece will naturally develop a patina over time — a lived-in beauty that makes it even more personal.

Do you offer repairs or resizing?

Yes, I offer repairs and resizing for some pieces. Since each item is handmade, I want you to be able to enjoy it for years. Reach out with details and we’ll discuss what’s possible.

Philosophy & Connection

What’s the meaning behind your designs?

Every symbol I use — a lightning bolt, a moon, a wave — holds energy and story. They’re reminders of power, surrender, and connection. My goal is for you to feel grounded, inspired, and seen when you wear them.

What do people say about your jewelry?

My collectors often say my pieces feel like they were made for them. They describe them as grounding, empowering, and soulful — jewelry that feels like home to their spirit.

How do I stay connected with Sun Salt Silver?

Every piece I make is more than jewelry — it’s a story in silver.
