JEWELRY DETAILS/CARE TIPS
What materials do you use to make your jewelry?
We use high-quality metals: 14k gold filled, 14k rose gold filled, and sterling silver only (except our cuff bracelets, which are gold plated over stainless steel). All supplies and materials used to create Stella & Tide products are sourced from the USA.
What is gold filled?
Gold filled is a pressure-bonded layer of gold that has 100 times more gold than plated jewelry. It is durable, won't chip or flake, is tarnish resistant, and is a great alternative to solid gold jewelry, at a much more reasonable price. It looks beautiful, and has a finish that will last years if cared for properly!
How do I care for my jewelry?
Store your jewelry in a dry, air-tight area such as a plastic sleeve or the box your jewelry arrived in. Use a micro abrasive polishing pad sparingly to remove any oxidation or tarnish marks. Gently rub across the surface until the shine has been restored. Occasionally remove skin oils by rinsing with warm water and buffing with a soft cloth. Take extra care around perspiration, salt, chlorine, perfume, lotions, and makeup as they can damage fine jewelry.
CHAIN LENGTHS
What chain length do you recommend?
Our go-to chain length suggestion is 16 or 18 inches! These lengths tend to fit most people very well.
What layering lengths do you recommend?
We suggest 1-2 inches between layers. Our most popular layering lengths are 13/14 inch or 16/18 inch combinations. If you need specific suggestions contact us—we’d love to help you out!
PAYMENT
What payment methods do you accept?
Payments are accepted through PayPal, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, or credit/debit card (see the site footer for a full list of accepted cards).
Do I have to pay sales tax?
Only Florida customers are charged sales tax.
