Sizing

The best way to size your finger is to go to a professional jeweler near you!  They will be able to very accurately measure the finger you would like to wear a new ring on.  If this is not an option for you there are a couple conversion charts you can google to measure your ring size but know they will not be as accurate as a professional.

Use a string or flexible tape measurer and measure around your entire wrist.  Adjust how tight the string is so it fits how you would want the bracelet to fit.  Cuff bracelets have an opening but knowing your overall wrist measurement is helpful! 

Choker -15 inches

High chest – 16 inches

Middle of chest – 18 inches

Long – 20 inches

I can change the chain length on most of my necklaces, and some of my rings can be resized.  Depending on the changes required and materials there will be an additional fee. 

Products

I can make another one to go with the earring you have left, it will cost half of the price for a pair. Depending on if they were one-of-a-kind we can work together to figure out the best solution!

I put a lot of hard work into every piece I make and I want you to be able to enjoy your jewelry for years and generations to come! Due to the delicate nature of my work damage can happen over time. Depending on the work needed to be done a fee may be required to repair your piece. 

 I don’t currently work on other artists work, if you have something you would like to take the stones out of I’d love to take a look! I love the idea of giving an old stone a new home!

Jewelry Care

APJ jewelry is made using high quality materials, to keep your jewelry looking great here are a few tips that I recommend :)

Take off your jewelry before using lotion, perfume, or washing your hands.  There are oils and chemicals in them that are great for your skin, but not so great for your jewelry. 

Remove your jewelry before hitting the gym, jumping in the shower, or going for a swim.  Long exposure to water, pool chemicals, and sweat can start to break down metal finishes and eat away at some stones.

When you are not wearing your jewelry, it is best to store it in a cool dry place, moisture is a main culprit for tarnishing. 

For everyday pieces it is great to have a couple places you always put your jewelry when you take it off.  I have a cute little dish by my bed that works great for when I hop in the shower & one by my kitchen sink for when I have those pesky dishes to do :)

Everyone is bound to not follow all the rules to a tee, and that’s okay just do the best you can! Your jewelry will thank you :)

Touch Up Cleaning

If you find your jewelry is in need of a little polishing there are a couple of ways you can brighten them up!

Mix a few drops of mild dish detergent and lukewarm water, and soak.  Use a soft bristle toothbrush to brush away the dirt and debris.  Rinse and then dry completely.   

Avoid chemical cleaners or polishing cloths loaded with built in abrasives or oils.  The chemicals can react with your jewelry causing them to turn strange colors or damage stones.  Stones that need a little extra care are pearls, opals, and turquoise.  They scratch easily and can absorb liquids or chemicals they come into contact with. 

My favorite touch up jewelry cleaner is called Pink Brilliance. 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions! I aim to respond within 24 hours.
