When Does James Avery Have Their Charm Bracelet Sale

Frequently Asked Questions

ABOUT OUR JEWELRY

Are James Avery ear posts hypoallergenic?

All James Avery ear posts and ear wires on sterling silver earrings are made of nickel-free sterling silver, the same alloy used in our sterling silver jewelry. People who are not sensitive to silver or copper should not experience any allergic reaction.

Is James Avery jewelry priced and sold by the metal weight of the design?

James Avery jewelry is priced based on the intrinsic and artistic value of the design and the labor to create the design, as well as the metal content. Due to various jewelry making techniques such as casting, cutting, finishing and polishing, the weight of each individual piece will vary slightly.

EARRING REPLACEMENT

What can I do if I lose one earring?

We know it's frustrating to lose a favorite earring, but we can help.

Our Earring Exchange Policy has two simple steps:

1. Return your remaining earring.
2. Purchase a new pair of earrings for half of the current price.

Please note, this cannot be applied to retired earring designs. We apologize for any inconvenience.

SOLDERING

I have selected several charms that I would like to have soldered on a charm bracelet. What do you charge for this service?

We are happy to solder James Avery charms for you. First-time solders of our charms are complimentary. To have a James Avery charm moved or re-soldered, there is a $5.00 charge for each sterling solder and a $10.00 charge for each 14K gold solder. If you need several charms soldered to one item, please specify the location and spacing you would like for each of the charms.

RING SIZE

I'm not sure of my ring size. How can I find out what size I wear?

The width of the band is an important factor to consider when measuring for a ring. Generally, a tapered ring will fit your normal ring size while a ring with a band ¼" or wider requires a half size larger. All James Avery rings are available in full and half sizes. For your convenience, download our printable Ring Size Guide or contact Customer Service to order a free set of sizing rings.

CARE & CLEANING

How do I properly clean and care for my James Avery purchase?

Polishing jewelry regularly will take care of most tarnishing and cleaning problems and help reduce the chance of skin irritation. We recommend a lint-free polishing cloth which we have available. If your jewelry needs a little more attention than gentle polishing, use a mild detergent and warm water with a soft brush. Avoid the use of harsh chemical dips and only allow a professional jeweler to clean your jewelry. Gemstones and pearls require special care, so we recommend they be professionally cleaned as well. To learn more, see our Care and Cleaning Guide.

How should I properly store my jewelry?

To minimize the chance of scratches, separate your jewelry into a compartmentalized box, and store it in one of our soft flannel pouches.

Why does my jewelry sometimes leave a black residue on my clothing or skin?

Certain types of cosmetics contain chemicals that can abrade your jewelry, causing a sort of metallic dust. This metallic dust often appears black and can cause smudges on your skin or clothing. To avoid this problem, put on your jewelry after applying your cosmetics.

Black smudges may also be caused by corrosion due to perspiration, exposure to salts and exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas (present in polluted air, some www.jamesavery.comdstuffs and industrial chemicals). To avoid these smudges, we recommend that you do not wear your jewelry while handling chemicals or products containing sulfur, and gently polish your jewelry often to remove tarnish.

Why do I occasionally have skin irritation when wearing my ring?

Some people occasionally experience a burning, itching and/or redness, usually on the skin beneath rings. This condition may be due to the build-up of soaps, detergents, waxes, and/or creams, which also cause a dulling film on your jewelry. To avoid skin irritation and to keep your jewelry bright, do not wear your rings when using cleaning products or lotions, and clean your rings frequently.

GIFT CARDS

Do you have James Avery gift cards?

Yes, we have gift cards available and you may order our gift cards in predetermined amounts. You may order a James Avery gift card online, in-store or by calling Customer Service.

How do I check the balance of my gift card?

You may check the balance of your gift card online or contact Customer Service for further assistance.

AVERY COLLECTION HANDBAG

Is the hardware sterling silver?

No. Sterling silver and leather don't always work well together. Sterling can tarnish and damage the leather finish. Our decorative hardware is cast in bronze, then finished with a nickel plating specifically designed to have a similar finish to our sterling jewelry.

Where can I get my Avery Collection Handbag's Accessories embossed?

Currently we are only embossing in our Discovery Center and Store locations. To find one near you visit our store locator.

Why is James Avery making handbags?

We added men's leather wallets several years ago, which have been well received by our Customers. Adding handbags felt like the right next step, but we value our Customers' input, which is why we are running a limited test.

How do I clean my Avery Collection handbag?

Keep the outside of our handbag dry and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. The inside of the bag is water resistant and can be cleaned with a damp cloth. You can bring your Avery Collection Handbag to any store that sells Avery Collection Handbags for a free cleaning.

Do the handbags come with a warranty?

Yes! We offer a 1-year warranty with our handbags and small leather goods for manufacturing defects only. Beyond the warranty for manufacturer defects, repairs are offered at set fees.

Bring your bag to any James Avery retail location, email Customer Service at handbags@jamesavery.com or complete the repair request form and send the form and your item to the address below. We recommend using an insured and trackable service such as UPS or FedEx.

Are the Avery Collection Handbags 100% leather?

Yes, with the exception of the inside of our bags where we have added a protective finish to the leather to make the inside of the bags water-resistant. (This helps with makeup, water and other spills common to handbags.) Simply wipe the interior with a damp cloth and your bag is clean. All of our handbags are made with quality Italian leather. You will notice some natural variations in color and texture of the leather.

Do the handbags come with a warranty?

Yes! We offer a 1-year warranty with our handbags and small leather goods for manufacturing defects only. We cannot replace bags damaged by normal wear and tear.
