About us

We founded CROSSIV on the belief that making fine jewelry doesn’t have to come at the cost of our values, our communities or our planet. We believe true sustainability is about transparently addressing our impacts on the environment and the people in our ecosystem. We have been working in the jewelry industry for 18 years.

For that reason, we strike a balance between recycled and fairly mined materials that support communities dependent on the industry. Traceability is important because it allows us to validate the authenticity of the material and improve the social and environmental impacts of our pieces. As we grow globally and expand our networks, maximizing the transparency and traceability of our supply chain is our ultimate goal.

Enamel

Enameling is a technique in which a glossy substance, traditionally a type of glass, is applied to the surface of metal or another hard surface. Traditional enamel is glass-based; however, we use cold enamel—also known as epoxy resin enamel—which does not contain glass. This type is far more durable and resistant to chipping that may sometimes occur with daily wear.

HOW TO CARE FOR ENAMEL JEWELRY:

Clean your enamel jewelry with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. 

This material can be damaged if exposed to a direct flame or harsh chemicals, such as perfume and nail polish remover.

Ceramic

Ceramic

Ceramics are an incredibly durable material made by taking mixtures of clay, earthen elements, powders and water—and shaping them into desired forms. Our ceramics are covered and/or protected with a waterproof, paint-like substance known as a glaze. 

HOW TO CARE FOR CERAMIC JEWELRY:

Clean your ceramic jewelry with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. 

This material can be damaged if exposed to a direct flame or harsh chemicals, such as perfume and nail polish remover. 

Ceramic may scratch, so treat your pieces with care.

Titanium

Titanium is a lightweight, highly corrosion-resistant and durable material. When properly cared for, titanium will maintain its appearance for a lifetime.

HOW TO CARE FOR TITANIUM JEWELRY:

Clean your titanium jewelry with warm water, detergent-free soap and a soft cloth.

Ultrasonic cleaners are also safe to use on titanium jewelry. 

Since titanium is a natural element, it’s best to remove your jewelry when handling harsh chemicals such as chlorine or cleaning products to reduce daily abrasions and prolong the polish.
