As of 2025, Misty Comet has moved our jewelry production to Seattle, USA !

As always, our pieces are designed and prototyped in-house (literally, in our in-home art studio) by a husband and wife team.

Our final jewelry pieces are then meticulously produced by our local bespoke jeweler partner.

Previously, our production was done through an ethical manufacturer in Bangkok, Thailand.

We care deeply about our customers and our planet at Misty Comet, so we are passionate about using sustainable high end hypoallergenic materials.

We use both traditional 925 Sterling Silver (92.5% Silver) and our custom formulated 940 Sterling Silver (94% Silver) as the base for our pieces.

Our plated pieces use 18k Gold or members of the platinum family like Ruthenium and Rhodium for their plating.

All of the metals we use are tested for purity, and contain no nickel or any harmful substances like lead, cadmium, arsenic, etc; that can be found in lower quality alloys.

Yes; we are happy to say all of our pieces are free of nickel. They are also free of lead, cadmium, and all other toxic substances commonly found in metal jewelry.

Gold Vermeil is the process of layering gold on top of silver, similar to gold plating that is done to non-precious metals. Gold Vermeil is thicker than normal gold plating, with the method requiring at least 2.5 microns of gold thickness; while plating can be as little as 0.1 micron. This leads Gold Vermeil to be more long-lasting and resilient than typical gold plating. Gold Vermeil is also a nickel-free plating method, vs regular gold plating which generally uses nickel in the plating process.

• We follow our hearts instead of micro-trends. We aim to make unique pieces that can be treasured forever.
• We offer limited releases to ensure there is no leftover "dead stock" - one of the biggest contributors to fashion pollution
• We work with a local high end jeweler to make our pieces. We work closely with our jeweler. This ensures that our pieces will be high quality; something to cherish, not something that is cheaply made and is quickly discarded. It also means a smaller carbon footprint in shipping costs!
• All of the workers making our pieces are given a living wage, healthcare, and work in a safe environment. Sadly this is not the standard for jewelry manufacturing, especially for fast fashion or lower cost pieces. We pride ourselves on making sure the people making our pieces are well taken care of for their hard work !
• We use packaging made from sustainable materials that can be reused to safely store and travel with your Misty Comet pieces. This includes our jewelry bags that are made from 100% recycled plastic bottles !

All colorways of our Precious Metal Plated Sterling Silver pieces are tarnish resistant and easy to care for. Following the care instructions will increase the longevity of the plating and tarnish resistant properties. With proper care the plating can last many years!

Our 940 Sterling Silver pieces are also easy to care for as they are significantly more tarnish resistant than traditional 925 Sterling Silver. Following the care instructions will maintain the beautiful bright silver color, and maintain it's tarnish resistance over time.

Our 925 Sterling Silver pieces take a bit more care to maintain than our tarnish resistant or plated pieces, however following the care instructions will help prevent tarnishing.

If you neglect to follow the instructions and tarnishing occurs, both 925 and 940 Sterling Silver pieces can always be cleaned to remove tarnish.

Care instructions :

• Make sure to add your Misty Comet piece as the last step of your routine after any moisturizers, make up or perfumes. Let any creams, sprays etc fully settle into your hair or skin before adding your Misty Comet jewelry.
• Be sure to remove the piece before showering or exercising. If your piece gets wet, make sure to dry gently but thoroughly as soon as possible.
• Use a soft cloth* to polish and remove any residue before storing, especially if you are storing for a long period of time before wearing again.
• Store away from air and humidity when not in use, such as in the 100% recycled vegan suede jewelry pouches we package our pieces in. Consider using a desiccant pack if you live in an especially humid environment.
• Avoid exposure to any harsh chemicals, rubbing alcohol, etc.

*note: Be aware that cloths marketed as "silver cleaning cloths" contain a cleaning agent that can interact with other metals and degrade plating. Only use these cloths on 925 sterling silver. A regular plain microfiber cloth works great for any piece!
