FAQ

BEFORE I ORDER

HOW DO I FIND MY SIZE? The most accurate way to find your ring size is to visit your local jeweler and asked to be sized. The next best alternative is to use a ring sizer. Ring sizers are a great way to accurately measure you ring size, you can purchase one here

UNIQUELY HANDMADE All pieces at Chelsea Leigh Jewelry are handmade by me. This means quantities may be limited and slight variations are to be expected and celebrated. Natural Gemstones used in designs may also vary in size, shape, and color.

ABOUT THE JEWELRY

WHAT IS GOLD FILLED? Gold filled is a great alternative to solid gold jewelry. It is a pressure bonded layer of gold that has 100 times more gold than gold plated jewelry. These characteristics make it a beautiful, durable, and economical alternative to solid gold, that will last years if cared for properly.

DOES YOUR JEWELRY CONTAIN NICKEL? No. All jewelry is nickel free.

WHY IS MY JEWELRY TARNISHING? Even the highest quality of metals will eventually become dull, dirty, and tarnish over time. This is natural and normal with an easy solution! See more about how to care for and clean your jewelry here

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY JEWELRY? Store your jewelry in a dry, air tight space away from any light. Take extra care around perspiration, chlorine, and other chemicals like lotions or perfumes. Occasionally clean your jewelry with warm water and dish soap, and polish with a polishing cloth. See more tips here

WHAT IF MY SKIN HAD A REACTION? Every person's body chemistry is different and can have different levels of sensitivity to metals. The materials used in Chelsea Leigh Jewelry are classified as hypoallergenic and discoloration/reactions are extremely rare.
