Bracelets

Measure your wrist where your bracelet would ordinarily sit, and add length depending on how you like your bracelet to fit:

+ 0.75” for a closer fit - still comfortable, with less movement along the wrist

+ 1” for a slightly roomier fit - more drape, without feeling loose or oversized

For example, a wrist measurement of 6.5” would best fit a finished bracelet size of…

• 7.25” for a closer fit (7.25” is typically a size Medium/Large in most of our bracelet styles)
• 7.5” for a roomier fit (7.5” is typically a Large in most of our bracelet styles)

Necklaces

Necklace length is highly personal and can vary based on individual preference, proportions, and how you like your pieces to sit or layer.

Our most popular length is 18”, which sits comfortably just below the collarbone for many.

Rings

For the most accurate fit, we recommend having your finger measured with a professional ring sizer. We also offer ring sizing in our studio.

If you have any questions or concerns about sizing, or would like to book a short appointment, please contact us. Sizing can also be added to an existing appointment.

How to care for your Orange Avocado Jewelry

A little care goes a long way in keeping your pieces looking their best. Sterling silver, fine silver, and bronze can naturally tarnish over time, especially when exposed to air, moisture, and everyday products.

With proper storage, maintenance, and regular wear, your jewelry will continue to shine for years to come.

Avoid Open Air Storage

Store your jewelry in a sealed plastic bag or airtight container when not in use. We provide a small plastic bag for each piece purchased. Limiting exposure to air and humidity helps slow tarnishing, especially for sterling silver, fine silver, and bronze pieces.

Wear Often

Jewelry is meant to be worn. Regular wear can help maintain shine, as your skin’s natural oils may reduce surface dullness and keep pieces looking polished.

Clean Gently When Needed

Use a soft polishing cloth to remove buildup and restore shine. Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough materials, as they can damage the finish of your jewelry.

We offer polishing cloths and silver cleaning products for purchase. For heavily tarnished pieces, professional polishing and repair services are available - please contact us to inquire about pricing.

Remove Before Water & Products

Take off your jewelry before showering, swimming, or exercising. It’s also best to remove pieces before applying perfume, lotion, sunscreen, makeup, or hair products, as these can affect the finish over time - even on gold pieces.

Know Your Metals

Our 14K gold-filled and solid gold pieces are designed for lasting wear and are highly resistant to tarnishing (they do not need to be stored air-tight, however water and products can still affect their shine). Sterling silver, fine silver, and bronze require a bit more care (air-tight storage, and cleaning after exposure to water or products is recommended), but with proper handling, they will maintain their shine over time.

FAQ

Why is my jewelry tarnishing?

Tarnishing is a natural reaction that occurs when metals are exposed to air, moisture, and everyday substances. Skin chemistry, humidity, and product use can all affect how quickly it happens.

Can I shower in my jewelry?

It’s best to remove your jewelry before showering. Water, soap, and shampoo can leave residue and affect the finish over time.

Does wearing jewelry help prevent tarnish?

Wearing your jewelry regularly may help maintain its shine. Your skin’s natural oils can reduce surface dullness and slow visible tarnishing.

Do gold-filled and solid gold pieces tarnish?

Solid gold does not tarnish, and our 14K gold-filled pieces are nearly resistant to tarnishing. However, exposure to water and beauty products can still affect their finish over time, so proper cleaning after exposure to water or products is recommended.

How do I remove tarnish?

For quick cleaning, a soft polishing cloth is often enough to restore shine. For silver pieces, a silver dip can be used when needed (only for silver). We offer polishing cloths and silver dip for purchase.

For heavily tarnished pieces, we offer professional polishing and repair services. Please contact us to inquire about pricing.

What’s the best way to store my jewelry?

Keep pieces in a sealed bag or airtight container, ideally stored separately to prevent scratching and reduce exposure to air.
