New parent questions
- How do I pick a width?
- Start from the bra cups you already wear. Smaller cups usually take the regular width; fuller cups sit better under the extra large one. Both widths sit inside the same card, so you pick one before the buy button. Our cup match page turns three answers into a short list.
- What separates 999 fine from 925 sterling?
- Temper, mostly. Fine silver is the purer metal and takes a softer press, so the dome gives a little under your fingers. Sterling carries a firmer wall that keeps its curve through months of daily handling. Both leave our bench with the same hand polish.
- What does trilaminate mean?
- Three layers pressed into one dome: a fine silver face on the side worn against the bra lining, over a sturdier supporting layer underneath. You get the look and touch of 999 with a backbone closer to sterling.
- How do I look after the pair?
- Rinse under plain tap water, dry with a cotton towel, and park both cups in an open dish between wears. When the shine dulls, a soft jewelry cloth brings it back. Coarse pads and heavy silver creams take the polish off faster than they clean.
- What is the silicone ring for?
- It seats into a groove around the turned rim, so the ring rather than the bare metal edge meets the inside of the bra. The ring lifts off in a second for rinsing and snaps back into the same groove.
- Who handles the order?
- The store that stocks the cups does. The buy buttons on this site open the product page there; payment, delivery and the paper trail all live in your account with them.
