ABOUT OUR PRODUCT/PRODUCT CARE

Every piece of darśana is designed with love and meticulously handcrafted.  We are deeply committed to producing fine jewelry that is socially responsible upholding ethical manufacturing practices.  We source materials from trusted suppliers, ensuring our diamonds are conflict-free.   Due to the nature of our handmade jewelry slight variations may occur between items. 

We do our best to provide accurate representations of color, texture and settings in all of our photographs and in our product descriptions.  It should be noted that in the photographs the mirror slices will appear either black or light grey depending on the mirror's reflection.  

Diamonds
Our gold and stones are ethically sourced and conflict-free.  All diamonds are GH VS2 - SI1 diamonds. 

Stone Size
We do our best to provide accurate sizes on our product detail page – but they are only approximate values and it should be understood each stone by its very nature is slightly different.

We put our best effort toward displaying our items accurately, however the colors of the metals and stones that you view on your computer may be different than the actual color of the item.  We are not responsible for any discrepancy in this regard.

Product Care
Please follow these guidelines to ensure your piece of darśana will always stay beautiful:


Apply all beauty products, such as perfume, hairspray and lotions, before putting on your jewelry.  

Jewelry should be removed prior to swimming, bathing or showering.  

The mirror slice in every piece is glass and therefore fragile and should receive particular care when handling.  Do not place your jewelry with the mirror face down as it could scratch the surface.  Also take care your piece of jewelry is not stored with other jewelry pieces as this may lead to unsightly scratches.  The mirror slice should never be submerged in water as moisture may become trapped between the mirror and the gold base and potentially form a water mark.

Clean your jewelry using a soft cloth and store it in its case or pouch in a dry place.  Please avoid ultrasonic cleaning or submerging your jewelry in a liquid cleaning solution.
