A Note From Wattle & Gold

Why every piece in our current collection is free — and what the catch really is (there isn't one).

We make fine jewellery the way it's always been made well: solid gold and sterling silver, hand-set with genuine gemstones, one piece at a time. No plating, no shortcuts.

What we're doing with this collection

For this introductory run, we're covering the cost of every piece ourselves. Rather than spend that money on advertising and mark-ups, we'd rather see these pieces worn and loved. So every ring, pendant, pair of earrings and bracelet in this run goes out free — you cover the postage to your door. Nothing else.

Why we're not running this like a normal sale

If we marked everything down instead, we'd still be selling it. We'd rather give it away. There's a difference, and it matters to us. The pieces in this run aren't seconds and they aren't damaged — they're pieces we stand behind completely.

What you'll be choosing from

Mostly rings, with a smaller number of pendants, bracelets and earrings. Materials are what we always work in — sterling silver, 14k and 18k gold, hand-set sapphires, emeralds, rubies, amethysts and freshwater pearls. Each piece carries the small irregularities of being made and finished by hand.

Questions people ask us

Why is it really free? What's the catch?

There isn't one. For this introductory run, we're covering the cost of every piece ourselves — money we'd otherwise spend on advertising and mark-ups. The only cost to you is shipping, which goes to the carrier, not to us.
