inSync design material glossary

Aluminium

Aluminium is a silvery-white, soft, non-magnetic, non-corrosive, lightweight, hypoallergenic and ductile metal that can be anodised.

Anodising

Anodising is a technique that is used mainly on aluminium and titanium to colour the metal. Titanium produces softer colours such as yellows, bronzes, pinks and purples, through to blues and greens. Aluminium produces much brighter colours such as reds and bright blues.

Gold plating

Gold plating is a method of coating a thin layer of gold (we use 22ct gold) onto the surface of another metal, by chemical or electrochemical plating process.

Matte

A matte finish, or a brushed finish, is a surface treatment that is applied to the metal. The result dulls the surface but over time, this surface finish will polish back slightly and may become shiny.

Neoprene Rubber
In its native state, neoprene is a very pliable rubber-like material with insulating properties similar to rubber or other solid plastics. It is hypoallergenic, waterproof and does not stain the skin.

Powder-coat

Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. It is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat. Powder-coating is an industrial paint application process, which is used on metals to create an opaque and smooth paint-like finish. It is commonly used in commercial applications.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is 100% recyclable indefinitely with a long life span and ease of wear with no maintenance required.

Stainless steel metal does not corrode, stain, rust or tarnish. Its hypoallergenic and low maintenance properties make it an ideal material for many applications where both the strength and corrosion resistance are required like jewellery.

inSync jewellery is easy to clean with warm soapy water (no harsh chemicals needed) which means you don’t harm the water supply while keeping your jewels in perfect condition.

Just feel so stylish

Hi Iris, have loved my previous inSync earrings, was devastated when I lost one, contacted you & you made me a replacement. (Love you dearly for this🤗🥰).
Love the Contra Brooch & earrings, get lots of comments & compliments.
Feel so special wearing art pieces, thank you.

Thank you so much for the lovely review Toni, it made my day!
I'm thrilled to hear how much you're enjoying your inSync pieces, and I'm glad I could help with the replacement earring.
It's fantastic that you're getting lots of compliments and thank you for sharing your thoughts, I truly appreciate it!

Maybe my fave!

My husband noticed!!! 😉

Today I wore the silver contra brooch, (I also have the red one, for another day…) when I got home my husband said ‘oh what a beautiful brooch, is it new?’ Hahaha, what can I say, love, love, love inSync pieces of art! Just can’t help myself, makes me feel so good and that’s what matters 💕

I'm so happy that your husband noticed and loved your new brooch. I love knowing that my pieces make you feel so good—that’s exactly what I aim for! Next time I would suggest layering the silver and red Contra brooches together, it will have a lovely effect!

Enjoy wearing your brooches, and thanks for being such a fabulous part of the inSync community. Sending you lots of love!

Really like these

I really like these earrings. They are silver and black anodized aluminum,. They are very light and comfortable to wear. All good!! Well done Iris!

Thank you so much for your kind words Debra, I appreciate it! I'm thrilled that you love your earrings and find them light and comfortable. Enjoy wearing them and the compliments they bring ;)

Beautiful earrings....not exactly what I was expecting, but beautiful.

For some reason I thought these were enamel....they are not. They are colored metal. I love the color and the length.

One note, Iris - I got two earrings that go on the same side. You want the channel for the ear wire to be on the inside, and in my case I got two with the same orientation, so one is on the outside. My hair covers it, though.

Overall, pleased with my purchase and happy to support a small business.

Hi Debra,
Thanks so much for the your five start review, i appreciate it. I am pleased that you love the colour and length of your earrings, but I wanted to clarify that the earrings are made from anodised aluminum, rather than enamel.

The decision to have both closures on the same side was made to help keep costs manageable. Since the earrings hang sideways like a hoop, the clip remains discreet and out of sight, ensuring the design remains elegant while being cost-effective. Creating two oposite sides would have significantly increased production costs, and I strive to balance affordability with quality.

Thank you again for taking the time to review the earrings and for your your support. I hope you will continue to enjoy your earrings and feel stylish and unique while wearing them. Warm regards, Iris x

Breath brooch - ref

Pink is it! Gorgeous brooch in pink looking good with any colour top.

Another pair of earrings

I have three pairs of Pebble earrings and a pair of Plunge earrings. I love them all. The Pebbles travel overseas with me because the catch is so good I know they will never slip off. And they are so tactile and striking, dressing up any outfit.The Plunge earrings are so stylish and my dress-up go to. So why did I need another pair - clearly I didn’t, but the Meander studs are just irresistible. Perfect size and weight with the most gorgeous contours. Thanks Iris. Your designs are always so innovative.

Thank you so much for your amazing review Kris, I appreciate it! I’m thrilled you love your Pebble and Plunge earrings, especially that they’ve become your trusty travel buddies and go-to for dressing up. I’m really excited that the Meander studs have won you over as well—they’re a personal favourite of mine too! Your kind words about the designs mean everything to me. Thanks so much for your support, Iris x

Orbit Ring

The piece that spoke to me was the Orbit ring. I'm in love with this piece of difference.
On arrival, my purchase was beautifully packaged and on opening there was a personal message to me.
Will be buying more pieces to add to my collection.

I take great pride in crafting unique and beautifully handmade pieces, and it means the world to me that my work resonates with you. Enjoy wearing the ring and the compliments it brings ;)

LOVE THEM!!

I have bought the earrings because I already have a necklace from InSync that I love it’s so light (perfect for hot weather) and looks stunning.
I love these earrings because they’re so sculptural in design, the quality is excellent and I’ve had lots of compliments when I wear them.
