For the mum who checks everything.

You read the label on her shampoo.
You Googled the mattress before you bought it.
You checked the fabric before it touched her skin.
And then you went to buy her jewellery.

And nobody could tell you what metal it was made of.
Whether the edges were safe.
Whether the gold would last past the first wash.

We know that feeling.
Because we felt it too.

This is where Dot & Shine begins.

Not in a factory.
Not from a catalogue.
From a mum who couldn’t find what she was looking for — so she spent a year building it.

What we built.

Every Dot & Shine piece is made with Argentium Silver — sterling silver’s smarter, safer cousin. It has germanium in the metal itself, which makes it naturally tarnish resistant. Not a coating. Not a treatment. The actual metal.
Our gold pieces are Vermeil — real gold, minimum 2.5 microns thick, over sterling silver. Not brass underneath. Silver. The gold stays because there’s genuinely enough of it.
Every edge is filed by hand. Checked before anything else. If we feel anything — it goes back.
Every piece is sized for actual children. Not scaled-down adults.

What we believe.

A child shouldn’t have to be careful with her jewellery.
It should survive school. The park. Lunch with both hands in the food. Bath time. Naptime.
And it should still look perfect when she comes home.
That’s not a luxury. That’s the minimum she deserves.

Who makes it.

Hi. I’m Hely.
Chartered Accountant. Mum of two. And the person who couldn’t settle until every detail was right.
I make every piece with the same standard I apply to everything my own children wear.
If it doesn’t pass — it doesn’t leave.
That’s the only rule at Dot & Shine.

Made right. For her. By a mum who checked everything.
