About the gemstone and pearl
Quartz is the mineral behind most of the sand on mainland beaches, hard enough to survive being ground down by waves for millions of years, while much of the white sand around a reef is made by parrotfish grinding coral. This bead is threaded with fine needles of rutile, a titanium mineral whose name comes from the Latin for red, caught inside the quartz as it grew and showing as rust-coloured lines through the stone. The freshwater pearl above it was grown by a mussel over years, and the small variations on its surface are the record of that.
A note on pearls: freshwater pearls are a natural product — each one varies slightly in shape, lustre, and size. This is not a flaw. It’s what makes your pair yours.

Please note that damage caused by normal wear and tear, misuse, or improper care is not considered a manufacturing fault and falls outside our returns policy. SunVoyager reserves the right to assess each claim individually and decline returns where items show signs of wear, alteration, or damage after delivery.
Your SunVoyager pieces are made with quality materials and designed to be worn and loved. A little care goes a long way — follow the simple guidelines below and your piece will stay looking beautiful for as long as possible.
Gold Jewellery
Our gold pieces are beautiful and durable — but they are not solid gold. Only an investment in solid gold can truly guarantee a lifetime of wear without any change to the metal. With the right care, your piece will stay looking its best for as long as possible.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Remove before swimming in chlorinated pools or the ocean
- Avoid contact with perfume, hairspray and harsh chemicals
- We do not recommend using household chemicals (for example bleach, bench spray), gardening, or using abrasive chemicals while wearing our jewellery.
- Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth after wearing
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a timeless metal that develops a natural patina over time. To keep it bright and polished:
- Store in an airtight pouch or zip-lock bag to minimise tarnishing
- Clean gently with a soft silver polishing cloth
- Avoid exposure to chlorine, saltwater and household chemicals
- Remove before sleeping, swimming or exercising
- Polish with a polishing cloth occasionally to bring shine back
