With proper care, your jewelry will last a lifetime! To minimize damage, store your jewelry in an air-tight container (such as the box it arrived in, or a zip-loc baggie) and avoid exposing it to household chemicals.

To prevent tarnish, a dulling that naturally occurs when metal reacts with the ambient air, clean your jewelry with polishes or cloths formulated to remove tarnish to keep it bright and sparkling.

Wearing your jewelry often is the best way to prevent tarnish. All jewelry comes with a black tarnish strip to protect the jewelry from the elements. Keep this sealed with your jewelry to protect it from tarnish for up to a year.

Melanie Golden Artisan Jewelry offers polishing cloths to keep your jewelry looking new!

Melanie Golden Jewelry strives to offer as many ring sizes as possible to accommodate anyone! We offer USA sizes 3-12, and can offer other sizes upon request. We use extremely accurate sizing methods to get you the best possible fit.

Rings are listed in USA ring sizes. USA ring sizes are different from other countries. If you know your ring size in your country, there are ring size conversion charts online! Just search “Ring size Conversion Chart”.

If you don’t know your ring size, there are a few options:
- Melanie Golden Jewelry offers reusable ring sizers for purchase.
- Melanie Golden Jewelry also offers a print-at-home digital download ring sizer.
-Another option is to visit a local jeweler to get measured.

Gold fill is composed of a solid layer of gold bonded to brass. Gold fill items can be worn daily for years without wearing through. Gold filled items are 100,000 times thicker than regular gold plating, and 25,000 times thicker than gold electroplate.

Gold Vermeil (pronounced vur-MAY) is genuine high-quality .925 sterling silver that has been coated in a thick layer of solid 14k gold. Gold Vermeil is perfect for those with metal allergies due to the durable thickness of gold over sterling. It is the best of both worlds—incredible quality at prices that won't break the bank. Vermeil pieces are stamped with the standard sterling silver purity mark (925 or .925), which tells you that the piece is genuine.

Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. But why mix copper with pure silver? You might think, “Oh, sterling silver is not as good as pure silver”. It may not be pure, but sterling silver is mixed to this ratio for very good reasons. Silver oxidizes (tarnishes) quickly, leaving it a yucky brown color. Copper slows down this process. Secondly, pure silver is very soft and can bend or break easily. Adding a more durable metal ensures that your silver jewelry will last a lot longer and look a lot nicer. So really, sterling silver, although not pure, is usually the better option when choosing jewelry.

Melanie Golden Jewelry offers as many bracelet sizes as possible to accommodate anyone, and can offer other sizes upon request.

If you don’t know your bracelet size, there are a few options:
- We offers a print-at-home digital download bracelet size guide.
- Measure your wrist.

Measuring your wrist
- Use a tape measure, strip of paper, ribbon or cord. Wrap it around your wrist where you would wear the bracelet.
- Mark the end of the strip and then measure the length against a ruler. This is your wrist size.
- You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the bracelet and your wrist. Depending on your personal preference whether you like a snug fit, comfort fit or a loose fit, you may need to move up or down a size.

With every order, we place a small black anti-tarnish tab inside of the jewelry box. All jewelry, no matter the quality, is prone to tarnish from sitting in the ambient air. To help prevent this, I include this tab with your order to help you keep your jewelry looking beautiful. You can store your jewelry in the box/bag it arrived in with the tab to keep tarnish away. Anti-tarnish tabs provide protection against tarnish for up to 12 months. Tarnish-causing elements are absorbed without emitting damaging gases. These tabs will not leave deposits on jewelry items and are non-toxic and non-abrasive.

Your jewelry will arrive packaged in a MELANIE GOLDEN ARTISAN JEWELRY monogrammed jewelry box to ensure protection during shipping and ease of gift-giving with a black tarnish strip to protect the jewelry from the elements. Jewelry care information is also included.

Orders including more than one item may be packaged together in the same box to prevent excess waste. If you require each item to be packaged separately, please leave a note in the “Note to Seller” box during checkout and I will be happy to include additional boxes.

Additional gift wrapping is available!
