Questions people ask
How do I know if they wear silver-tone or gold-tone?
Look at what they already own. Most people stick to one. If you truly cannot tell, silver-tone is the more common choice for a dark aesthetic.
What if the gift does not suit them?
Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. The returns page has the steps.
Is jewelry a safe first gift?
A pendant or a pair of small earrings is. Rings need a size, so save those for someone whose size you know.
Do you gift wrap?
Every piece arrives in its own pouch. There is no separate gift wrap option right now.
