FAQ - Frequently asked questions

Yes, all of our items are made of 925 sterling silver. Some of them are also gold-plated. Each item is marked with our logo and a 925 stamp, as shown in the pictures.

The items have been highly polished.

Basically all of our items are solid. But we also have a few items that are hollow. The type of processing, whether hollow or solid, is always in the item description. Please read these carefully. If there is no information listed and you are unsure, please contact us with the item number or the direct link to the item and we will check it for you.

Yes, silver discolors and that is normal. Pure silver reacts with hydrogen sulfide, which is found in the air. This combination forms silver sulfide on the surface. This changes color and creates the black color on your piece of jewelry. One more, the other less. It always depends on the skin type. One person wears the necklace and it discolors more quickly than another. In general, you should not go swimming, go to the sauna or wear perfume with jewelry. What can you do about it now? We generally recommend having your silver jewelry cleaned at regular intervals. At a jeweler or if you have the equipment yourself. It's kind of like a car, if you don't take care of it, it gets dirty and after a while it no longer looks like it was bought new.

Blog post: care and tips

The included cleaning cloth is not suitable for polishing. It is there to remove dust, fingerprints or similar particles from the piece of jewelry. For professional polishing, we recommend commissioning a local jeweler. This doesn't cost too much and doesn't take long either.

Please only remove the security tag if you want to keep the item. Please use scissors or a knife. Forcibly tearing it off can damage the item.

Our items are plated with real gold.

There is no general answer to this. The basic material is a silver chain onto which a thin layer of gold is applied. The use and care of the chain are very important here. One wears the necklace 24/7 and doesn't take it off even when swimming, goes to the sauna with the necklace and sprays perfume on it every day. The other only wears the necklace on weekends, always handles the necklace very carefully, cleans it regularly and stores it in the jewelry box provided. On one person the gold plating doesn't last as long as on another. In general, you should not go swimming, go to the sauna or wear perfume with jewelry.

These are our article numbers. As an example (K135). We include these item numbers in the title so that our customers can find their way around the large number of items more easily. For example, we offer plate chains in 4 widths and 5 lengths. Each item has its own item number. If you have questions about an item, you can include the item number so that we know internally which item it is about.

It is better to send inquiries regarding shipment status by email. We need your name so that we can check in the system where the order is and can then give you the tracking number again directly. This is not very practical over the telephone. You entered an incorrect delivery address and you remember it shortly before 1 p.m. (orders are dispatched at 1 p.m.). In this case, it is advisable to call to inform us of the incorrect delivery address.

Of course, you will receive an invoice for every purchase. It will be sent by email to the email address provided. Please also check the spam folder as emails often end up there. If you purchase on account with Klarna, our invoice should not be understood as a request for payment. You will receive a separate invoice from Klarna with the payment information.

All orders received and paid for by 2 p.m. Monday to Friday will be shipped on the same day.

We do not offer free returns.

Currently only as a DHL package.

Yes, the tracking numbers are automatically sent to the email on file. Please also check the spam folder as emails often end up there.

Unfortunately not. We do not have a workshop in Germany. For thin, uncomplicated items, a local jeweler can certainly help.

No, unfortunately we cannot offer this service.

For a smooth return process, it is important that the labels on the item are not removed, the item is unused and the original packaging is returned. The item can of course be tried on and tested. But it is a different matter if you wear the item for 10 days, it may be damaged or sprayed with so much perfume that the smell can no longer be removed from the item. Please repackage the item as it was delivered to you (chain wrapped in paper). This protects against damage and theft during shipping.

That's up to you. We recommend the DHL package up to 2kg.

Basically yes, but our shipping processes are optimized so that the order goes out as quickly as possible. This means it is not possible to stop the order once it has been dispatched. Therefore, please think carefully about whether to buy a product or not. Our shipping is external - our office (support) and shipping are in different locations.
