If you damage or break your EWD piece, we are happy to work with you to replace the chain, the stone, or re-work what needs to be fixed. Depending on the extent of the damage, a repair fee will apply. Unfortunately, we do not offer jewelry repair on any pieces that we did not make.
Yes! For Fine Collection (or solid gold) rings, there is a $30 resizing fee for sizing down, and a $60 resizing fee for sizing up. This is due to the labor intensive process used to make your ring the perfect size :) For Classic Collection (sterling silver and 14k gold filled) rings, we can swap out that size ring for the correct size. Unfortunately, we do not offer resizing on rings we did not make.
Materials + Care
Gold-filled jewelry is jewelry composed of a solid layer of gold mechanically bonded to a base of either sterling silver or a base metal. Unlike plating, it is a thick layer of gold that will not rub off or tarnish with wear.
Gold Plated jewelry consists of a very thin layer of gold being electrically charged onto a base metal or sterling silver. If sterling silver is plated in gold this can also be referred to as “Vermeil”. Plated jewelry has the shortest life span since the plated layer will rub off with contact to the skin (general wear) and contact with moisture.
Yes, technically you can get your gold filled jewelry wet as long as it is dried thoroughly afterwards. Although, we do not recommend showering in any jewelry since soap build-up dulls stones and metals.
Turnaround Time
Pieces in stock will ship within 1-2 business days. Made to order pieces will take 1-3 weeks for fabrication depending on what materials or stones may need to be acquired for production.
