Sustainability
Delivery
My postal packaging is now 100% recycled and recyclable. I pack the earrings in a reusable pouch rather than a box and I don’t put packing slips in with your order.
Offsetting deliveries
We purchase carbon offsets for all of our deliveries through Shop Pay. On top of our couriers own green efforts to get your order to you.
Responsible
Where possible the solid gold used is recycled and several of my sources are part of the responsible jewellery council.
The story so far
Launched in March 2019 as a "bit of extra pocket money” for founder Abby Summerville. With a background in luxury brand sales and working as a brand consultant for starter and small brands, Abby put her experience gained throughout her career of sourcing and selling globally to good use, and started researching suppliers, makers and artisans from all over the world, from UK to USA, South Korea, Hong Kong and India on a mission to find affordable pieces that meant that the cool and decadent styles weren’t just for high ballers, and that she really could offer something for everyone, of every age and pay check which is why a lot of the collection can be bought as singles.
Curated ears are getting more and more popular, with the piercers around the world getting more and more creative, coming up with new ideas, piercings and turning these odd looking things on the side of everybody’s face into pieces of art! The more the better!
With Helix & Conch popping up on ears such as Sam Chapman, Myleene Klass, You Magazine editor Jo Elvin and more, plus featuring in Grazia, House of Coco, Hello and Stylist Magazine, things are showing no signs of slowing down and Abby wants to thank everyone for all their support.
From Abby
"When you buy from Helix and Conch you aren’t buying from a huge brand: you are buying from me. I’m a down-to-earth working mum of two young boys. I hand pack the orders (although that may need to change soon as it isn’t leaving me much time to do the creative side of things!), handwrite the postcards, know the names of my customers and recognise those that keep coming back for more. I hate an impersonal service, so it was hugely important to me that I kept things personal, and even if things get huge, I will do everything I can to keep personal touches.”
Helix and Conch metals
How should I store my pieces?
Keep different colour metals stored separately, preferably in the pouch you receive it in!
Can I keep them in when I exercise?
Plated pieces will last over a year if you take them out when showering, swimming etc. Solid gold will just need a buff with a jewellery cloth if it dulls.
Solid or Plated?
If you want to wear your earrings constantly and not worry about tarnishing then solid gold is best. Plating will fade over time and go back to the original silver base colour.
