The Tier System
The Culture Club has three tiers:
Member (0 - 200 Points)
Maker (201 - 449 Points)
Insider (450 - 750 Points)
Tiers are based on yearly point accumulation.
Tier status and point total are displayed at the top and side of all tabs in the Culture Club.
Each tier unlocks specific rewards, experiences, and benefits. Detailed benefits are listed in the Culture Club.
No, all of our rings are handcrafted from 925 solid sterling silver and 18k gold vermeil.
Your fingers will only turn that dreaded green shade when in contact with low-quality plating, brass or nickel based jewellery.
All orders are shipped with your very own polishing cloth, the only thing you need to clean your jewellery and restore that gorgeous lustre.
