At Merchants of the Sun, craftsmanship is everything. We don't rush collections or follow seasonal trends. Every piece begins with a concept, sketched, sculpted, and refined by hand, then brought to life through small-batch production in our Bali atelier. This isn't fast fashion. It's slow, deliberate creation. Built to last. Made to mean something.
Recycled 925 sterling silver, and 18k gold vermeil — the same recycled silver beneath three and a half microns of 18k gold.
Those are the only two metals we use, which is why pieces from different collections sit together. The full comparison is in gold vermeil vs gold plated vs solid gold.
In our own atelier in Bali, by the same team that makes everything we sell. Each piece begins as a drawing, takes shape in wax, and is finished at the bench by hand.
We are a certified B Corporation and the silver is reclaimed rather than newly mined. Our story covers how the workshop runs.
Yes. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver alloyed with other metals, and that alloy reacts slowly with air and with skin. It darkens where it sits closest and brightens where it rubs.
A polishing cloth comes with every order and takes it back in about a minute. Our guide to silver tarnishing covers how to slow it down.
Our ring sizing guide takes about two minutes and is accurate to a quarter size. The quickest method is measuring the inside diameter of a ring that already fits.
If you would rather be certain, the Ring Sizer Kit is $5 and comes with $20 credit against your first ring.
Every piece carries a lifetime craftsmanship warranty. If something fails because of how it was made, we repair or replace it.
Wear and tear is different from a fault, but send us a photograph and we will tell you honestly which one it is.
