Frequently Asked Questions

What is your jewelry made of?

We choose the material to match the design and the price point.

  • Sterling silver: our necklaces, studs and huggies, including the Cactus collection, are genuine sterling silver (92.5% pure silver), most plated in 18k gold or white rhodium.
  • 14k gold-filled: our Steadfast bracelets are 14k gold-filled, with a thick layer of real gold bonded to the core, made to sleep, shower and sweat in.
  • Crystal: our crystal bangles and crystal hoop earrings are hand-set Austrian or Swarovski crystals with 18k gold, rose gold or white rhodium plating.
  • Japanese glass: our Tila bracelets are Miyuki Tila glass beads from Hiroshima, Japan, hand-strung on stretch cord.
  • Solid gold: a few fine jewelry pieces are solid 14k gold, and they are labeled as such.

Are your stones real diamonds?

It depends on the piece, and we're upfront about which is which. Most of our sparkle pieces are hand-set with diamond simulant stones (cubic zirconia) — a genuine, industry-recognized material, just not a diamond. A few of our fine jewelry pieces feature genuine mined or lab-grown diamonds, and those are labeled clearly as such. Lab-grown and mined diamonds are chemically identical real diamonds; the only difference is origin.

What's the difference between your crystal pieces?

Our Opal crystal bangles are genuine Swarovski crystal. The rest of our Crystal collection — turquoise, black diamond, and clear crystal styles — are genuine Austrian crystal. Both are real, hand-set crystal; we just believe in telling you exactly which is which.

Can I personalize a piece?

Yes — select necklaces, including our Petite Diamond Initial necklace, can be personalized with the letter of your choice. Just pick your initial from the variant options on the product page.

Will my jewelry tarnish or turn my skin green?

Our sterling silver and gold-filled pieces are hypoallergenic and won't turn your skin green. Plated pieces, including our crystal bangles and hoops, last longest when you keep them away from water, lotion and perfume. Follow the simple steps in our Care guide for each material. Our Steadfast gold-filled bracelets are specifically designed to be worn in the shower and while you sleep.

How do I find my size?

For our Tila flat-tile bracelets, visit our Tila Find Your Fit guide. For our Steadfast beaded bracelets, visit our Steadfast Find Your Fit guide to measure your wrist and choose the right length — bead size changes how a bracelet actually fits, and the guide walks through exactly why. For hoop earrings, sizes are listed by actual diameter (35mm, 40mm, 45mm) rather than vague small/medium/large labels, so you know exactly what you're getting. Our crystal bangles are open-ended and one-size-fits-most.

How fast do you ship?

Your order will ship within 2 business days of ordering — business days only, weekends don't count toward processing time. Ground shipping is a flat $8, and it's free on retail orders over $100. (During the holiday season, we're often able to ship same-day — check for updates during that time.)

How does Tila stack pricing work?

Any 3 Tila bracelets are $59 and any 5 are $89. Mix any colorways and sizes; the stack price applies automatically in your cart, no code needed.

Can I combine offers?

One offer per order. Tila stack pricing, free shipping over $100 and discount codes, including our welcome offer, can't be combined. If more than one applies, checkout automatically keeps the one that saves you the most.

Why doesn't my code work on Steadfast bracelets?

Steadfast 14k gold filled bracelets are already priced at our lowest everyday price — well below comparable brands — so welcome and promo codes don't apply to them. Codes still work on the rest of your order.

What's your return policy?

You have 30 days from delivery to return an item in unworn, original condition. If you return part of a Tila stack, the bracelets you keep are repriced at the stack rate they still qualify for and you're refunded the difference. Full details — including who covers return shipping — are on our Returns page.

How is my order packaged?

Every piece arrives ready to gift: our Steadfast and Sterling collections come nestled in our signature glass bottle packaging inside an SBJ canvas pouch; pieces that don't fit the bottle, like our Crystal bangles and hoops, arrive in the canvas pouch alone, finished with black grosgrain ribbon. Each Tila bracelet comes in its own canvas pouch.

Do you offer wholesale?

Yes. Visit our Wholesale Inquiries page to get in touch. Wholesale pricing is already our best price, so discount codes, stack pricing, free shipping promotions and retail packaging don't apply to wholesale orders.
