As a gift to you will replace a chain at no charge within a 3-month period from time of purchase. To prolong the life of your piece please do not sleep, swim, or bathe in your jewelry. Please contact us for instructions on returning your broken chain. Also ask about upgrading to a thicker chain.

My chain measures longer than I ordered?
Please contact our customer service and attach a photo of your chain next to a ruler. Please note that our pendant sizes are not included as part of the chain length calculation. When you select a chain length, it is only the chain that will be measured. On split chain items such as monograms, bars, nameplates the chain is split into two but the total measurement for the chain is only the chain (there will be a 9" chain on each side of the pendant for 18" chains, 8" chain on each side of the pendant for 16" chains, etc.). We give measurements for all of our products, if you want the total length of the piece please add your desired chain length (16", 18", 20", etc.) and pendant for the total.

Please share your concerns with your jeweler and encourage your jeweler to contact us.

We will do our best to help but please reach out to your jeweler with your concerns and tell them they can contact us directly for a possible resolution.

We have our MSRPs for our brand posted on the site and jewelers may choose to follow these prices or not. They also may choose to extend offers to their customers. We cannot control the actions of a jeweler especially their prices. We will not offer refunds or credits on price discrepancies between prices posted on our website and what you pay to your jeweler.
