FAQ's
1.) What are the charms made of?
We use a curated selection of quality materials, including:
- 316 Stainless Steel with 18kt gold plating
- Brass with gold plating
- Steel with enamel detailing
These materials are chosen for their durability, perfect for everyday wear with proper care.
2.) Can they handle water? Will the plating last?
Definitely! The charms are made with long-lasting finishes & occasional exposure to water (like handwashing or a little rain) is no problem.
We do recommend a little care:
If you swim in chlorinated water, give your pieces a quick rinse with fresh water afterward and dry them gently. This helps preserve the shine and gold plating for as long as possible.
3.) How many pieces of jewelry will I make?
Each guest will create two personalized pieces of charm jewelry. You can choose between a necklace, bracelet or a pair of earrings, it’s completely up to you!
4.) How many charms are included?
Your ticket includes up to 8 charms. If you'd like to add more, additional charms are available in our charm bar and can be chosen during the session with a 20% discount.
5.) Can I design something different?
Absolutely! While we provide inspiration and guidance, the design is completely yours. You can mix charms, beads or even create two different types of jewelry (e.g., a necklace and a pair of earrings).
6.) Do I need any experience?
Not at all! This session is beginner-friendly and designed to be relaxed and fun. Lena from Sosoleado will guide you every step of the way.

MATERIALS
MATERIALS
Stainless steel and gold-plated stainless steel
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron. We use a high quality stainless steel that is made to last. It is highly polished to create the shiny look. When plated, a thick layer of 18K gold is applied to the outside of the stainless steel jewelry. Our plating is strong, so you can wear it in the shower of while taking a dip in the ocean, without worrying about your jewelry!
Brass
Brass is a natural and sustainable earth-derived material. An affordable alternative to gold that has a luxurious look and feel.
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc and is free of lead and nickel. It is hypoallergenic and waterproof. The jewelry in the Golden Monsterra collection use new brass containing 70% copper and 30% zinc. The T'Boli jewelry is made from recycled brass.
Brass oxidizes over time because of the copper content. This gives the jewelry a 'vintage look' that is preferred by many. It is always possible to restore the original shine with cleaning.
Our tip is to keep wearing the brass jewelry for longer time. The oil from your skin will help clean and maintain your brass pieces. Also a shower or a dip in the ocean will help clean your jewelry.
Pearls
If every country has a gemstone, the Philippines would be the pearl, keeping its name the Pearl of the Orient seas. The archipelago has lovely varieties of white and freshwater pearls. We've scouted the Palawagan region and other parts of Philippines to infuse it with our jewelry.
Pearls, while they seem hard, are actually quite delicate and need to be handled with care. Avoid contact with perfumes and harsh chemicals. When pierced, pearls are no longer water proof so avoid to expose jewelry with pierced pearls to water. You can always clean pearls simply with a cloth. Store your pearls separately so other jewelry doesn't scratch them.
JEWELRY CARE
JEWELRY CARE
