Your piece will be put on in a way to be permanent, but this does not mean it is indestructible. It is up to the customer to maintain proper care and be self aware of the piece once placed, as it is easy to forget you have it on. We do offer Free resize and repairs if needed via Appointment or Event.
Prices are all different depending on what style you get. The best way to answer this would be to check out our price page on the site. All info in regards to pricing can be found there. Charms or Engravings will also be different prices, but they are starting at $10+.
We source very high quality demi fine material. We make sure that what we are selling is the best option on the market for our business and customers. Just like all other fine jewelry proper care is needed to keep your piece looking great. Over exposure to elements like high temp water (hottub) chlorine, and synthetic fragrances can affect the integrity of your piece including those made out of solid gold/sliver. Maintaining proper care of your jewelry with our Shinery Radiance daily wash will help preserve your jewelry for the long haul though those elements.
We carry demi fine jewelry in Gold Filled and .925 Sterling Silver.
Q: What is gold filled?
A: Compared to solid gold jewelry, gold filled jewelry is created with a solid layer of gold that is bonded to a base of another metal, such as sterling silver. Now with gold filled jewelry, it is typically less expensive than solid gold. Believe it or not, gold filled is more durable than solid gold and it will keep looking bright and new with decades of wear.
Q: What is .925 Sterling Sliver
A: Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals. Simply put, .925 silver is pure sterling silver.
We understand accidents happen. If something ever happens to the chain just contact us and we will repair or resize at no cost. PLEASE NOTE: In order for us to repair a piece you will need to bring the detached chain with you to your repair appointment.
Q: What if the chain broke and I no longer have it?
A: We as a Company will have to analyze the situation case by case. Unfortunately we do not offer refunds for any broke or loss pieces, but we love all our customers and will come up with something that works for everyone.
