about

les solides was established in 2017 by anna z’brun, a swiss based designer. they create timeless pieces that remain outside the seasonal demands of the fashion industry. les solides is inspired by nature, the people and craftsmanship. all their products are produced locally in bali and their vision is to preserve the traditional craftsmanship and to build sustainable and personal relationships with their producers. anna z’brun sees her label as a counterpoint to mass consumption and fast pace, she relies on minimal and timeless design. far from binary gender roles, their designs work for everyone. the products should become a personal favorite, that accompanies you and ages with you. quality therefore comes first. more than just a brand, les solides aims to inspire a mindful and purposeful way of living. with pieces for you, whoever you choose to be. to cherish craftsmanship by recognising that there is a human being behind every handmade product which makes every piece unique. les solides aims to make timeless products reflecting quality & attention to detail and combines the highest standards of design, aesthetics, simplicity, functionality & durability to create perfect harmony. les solides wants to use the wisdom of many, not only the intelligence of a few.

care instruction

each piece of les solides is handmade in bali by our craftsmen. the jewelry is made of sterling silver 925. just the gold vermeil rings are made of brass because they can get scratched and damaged from physical impacts more easily. the gold vermeil is completed in switzerland. we use certificated fairtrade and recycled 24k gold which is nickel free. to guarantee the best quality we use gold vermeil, a much thicker gold plating than the industry standard. after the pieces are plated, a protective finish is added to prolong the life of the gold plating. this process ensures that the jewelry should hold its plating for years if taken care of properly.

silver

all les solides hoops, earrings, cuffs, bracelets and necklaces are made of sterling silver 925. silver may become a blackish hue over time due to natural oxidation. we recommend brushing your silver pieces with an old toothbrush and toothpaste or baking soda and rinse with warm water to get rid of the results of oxidation. there are also silver cleaning products available which you can use.

gold vermeil

les solides pieces feature a significantly thicker layer of gold plating compared to the industry standard. after the gold plating is applied, an additional protective coating is added to prolong the life of the gold. with proper care, our gold vermeil pieces should retain its finish for many years. while the usual gold layer on jewelry is 1µ, we use 10µ to ensure much higher quality. however, it is not solid gold, and the layer will wear off over the years depending on the friction the pieces are exposed to. jewelry cleaner should not be used on our gold vermeil pieces. if the desired shine is no longer achieved, you can gently polish them with a soft cloth. in case of premature wear and tear, les solides jewelry can be re-plated, re-plating prices depend on size of jewelry. if there are any issues with the gold vermeil within the first 6 months, we will re-plate your piece of jewelry for free.

brass

all les solides gold vermeil rings are made of brass. your rings are not as protected as the jewelry on your ears or neck. to prevent early wear and tear we use brass instead of silver. brass almost has the same colour as gold, so you won’t see scratches or chipped gold on your rings that much.

storage

all les solides jewelry comes in a small box, perfect for storing your pieces or taking them with you on your travels without risking damage. it is important not to keep your jewelry in the bathroom, as the moisture will accelerate the oxidation process.

leather goods

please remember that leather is a natural product, and its beauty will enhance over the years with a developing patina. colors may transfer onto clothes when using our pieces for the first few times, but these stains can be easily washed out. to ensure your bag brings you long-lasting joy, please follow these care instructions: use a damp cloth to clean dust or stains on smooth leather pieces. additionally, you can use a leather care product to keep it soft and flexible.

broken pieces & repair service

les solides products are made to last, nevertheless things may break after years of wearing or if not handle gently enough. if this should be the case please get in touch with us (hello@lessolides.ch), we offer a repair service starting from CHF 30.-. if we can't fix it we will give you 20% off on your new purchase so you can find your new favourite piece.

replating service

by using much thicker gold plating and adding a protective layer, our pieces are crafted to premium quality standards. If your les solides jewelry shows premature wear and tear, we are happy to replate it for you for a cost of CHF 59.-. should any issues with the gold vermeil arise within the first 6 months, we will replate your piece free of charge. please allow up to 4 weeks for the replating service. this service is available only within switzerland. contact us at hello@lessolides.ch to get started.
