Q. How do you Guarantee Christmas Delivery?
A. We use the maximum time taken to manufacture each item and the time taken by our courier companies to deliver the item, to determine if we are comfortable in guaranteeing an item for Christmas delivery. There will sometimes be events that occur that are beyond our control, such as weather delays just prior to Christmas, Â loss of packages during transit, etc. If these exceptions do occur, we will make every effort to try and resolve the issue.

Q. What is the difference between synthetic gemstones and genuine gemstones?
A. The only difference is that synthetic gemstones are grown in a laboratory vs. genuine gemstones that are formed in nature. In order for a laboratory grown gemstone to be called synthetic, it must have a genuine counterpart and must match in chemical and physical properties i.e. crystal structure, chemical composition, hardness etc
Genuine gemstones have taken millions of years to form, deep within the earth. During the formation, different oxides have mixed, creating different colors within the same gemstone group e.g. sapphires (pink, yellow, purple, blue etc). However, because these oxides enter in different quantities the colors between the same gemstone e.g. blue sapphire, can widely vary and are difficult to match in a piece of jewelry. No two genuine gemstones are identical.
The benefits of synthetic vs. genuine is that the colors in synthetic gemstones are consistent and can be easily matched. They are also more affordable than a genuine gemstone of the same size, color and quality e.g. ruby, sapphire and emerald, since the colors of synthetic gemstones usually replicate a fine quality genuine gemstone.
Q. What is the difference between 10K & 14K gold?
A. The term “karat” designates the amount of gold found in a piece of jewelry: 24 karats is pure gold, but since pure gold is too soft to produce jewelry, it is generally mixed with other metals to produce a harder, more workable alloy. While 14 karats (14k) indicates that 14 parts out of 24 are gold, the other parts being made up of the other metals. Similarly, 10 karats (10k) indicates that 10 parts out of 24 are gold.
Q. What is sterling silver?
A. Only a silver item that contains 92.5% silver can be referred to as, or stamped sterling silver. The remaining 7.5% is an alloy, usually copper, to increase the hardness. The stamp can appear as 925, .925 or 92.5, as opposed to a karat stamp. Although this is the standard for the United States other countries may have lower grades.
Q. Will silver tarnish?
A. Yes, it is in the nature of silver to tarnish. Any mild jewelry cleaner will remove the tarnishing. However, if silver is used or worn daily, it will not tarnish due to the constant natural polishing action of wear.
