FAQ Updated
What Kinds of Materials Do You Use?
We use all precious metals, so that your pieces will last! Our jewelry is made of either 925 Sterling Silver, 24KT Gold Plating over Sterling Silver or solid 18KT Gold.
There is no brass, nor gold/silver filled metals used in our jewelry, so you won't have to worry about turning your finger green or pieces fading away.
Our pieces are sturdy, solid and real.
Will My Pieces Tarnish Over Time?
18KT Gold: Will not tarnish
Sterling Silver: The lister of 925 sterling silver will oxidize over time. This is due to a few natural and unnatural factors such as
- Sulfur in the Air: A very common element in the air, soil, and many products.
- Humidity: Silver is more likely to tarnish in humid environments.
- Chemicals: Unnatural chemicals in lotions, soaps, and other products can react with silver.
- Our Skin: The acidity of your skin can cause silver to tarnish.
But luckily there are a few quick and easy remedies that can restore the luster of your silver pieces. Check out our Care Section!
Can you Re-Plate My Gold Plated Jewelry?
Absolutely! We understand sometimes the plating may wear off or start to tarnish. So we offer a complimentary first re-plating. After that, each piece or set of earrings is priced below:
- Small: $20
- Medium: $30
- Large: $50
The lead time is approximately 2-3 weeks.
