How do I take care of my jewelry?
Sterling Silver (925) is a hard-wearing metal made up of 92.5% Silver and 7.5% copper. The reason for the added copper alloy is because pure silver (99.9%) is a fairly soft metal, making it less durable for wear. Due to the copper element, Sterling tends to oxidize and tarnish if it goes unworn. The best way to keep your silver beauties sparkling is to wear them! The oils from your skin actually prevent the pieces from oxidizing. Additionally, you can use a polishing cloth to shine up your Sterling silver beauties!
14k Double Gold Plated Brass is exactly what it sounds like! We take a gorgeous alloy of yellow brass that is already close in color to 14k Gold, and plate it not once, but TWICE for durability and quality! Plated brass is a great option for someone who loves the look of gold, but doesn't want to pay for the solid gold price tag. However, unlike solid 14k Gold, gold plated pieces should not be worn extensively in water. We recommend keeping your jewelry away from any liquid or lotion as a rule of thumb!

How do I know my size?
Bangle Sizing:
STEP 1: Close your fingers together, bringing your thumb and little finger together (as if you were putting on a bangle).
STEP 2: Using a strip of paper, string, or tape measure, measure around the closed hand at the widest point, pulling the tape snug against the skin. If you are using a plain strip of paper, mark the paper with a pen, then measure the strip with a ruler. This is the circumference of your hand.
STEP 3: Find the hand circumference on the table below. Choose a bangle size with a diameter at least 1/4" larger than the diameter shown below. If unsure or in-between sizes, we recommend sizing up.
If hand circumference is around 7-8” order petite
If hand circumference is around 8.5" - 9.5" order regular
Ring Sizing:
I recommend using a ring sizer to determine your correct ring size. Because each ring is handmade to order, we don't accept returns or exchanges, so it is best to be sure of your size! If you would like a ring sizer sent to you free of charge, please email us at hello@shopnataliemcmillan.com
