How do I know the jewellery is real sterling silver? Is it marked?

Our sterling jewellery will either have the "925" stamp on it, or a small tag or sticker attached that has "925" on it (for pieces that would be difficult to stamp). We also test our artisans' jewellery periodically to ensure that it is at least 92.5% silver.

Your website says the gemstone is "enhanced". What does that mean?

Many gemstones are enhanced, most commonly to improve their colour and/or clarity. Enhancement methods may include heat treatment, dyeing, bleaching, and oiling or waxing the stone. However, a stone enhancement will not affect your use or enjoyment of the jewellery in any way. Gemstones that are almost always enhanced: amethyst, citrine, blue topaz, ruby, lapis lazuli, chalcedony, and emerald. Gemstones that are never or very rarely enhanced: Guatemalan jade, garnet, peridot, unakite, rhodonite, hematite, chrysocolla, labradorite, rainbow moonstone.

Why did my sterling silver ring/bracelet turn my finger/wrist green? I thought it was genuine sterling?

The discolouration described can occur naturally for a couple of reasons. It may be that your body has a reaction to either silver or one of the other metals in the sterling alloy; it could also be that the silver is reacting with something on your hands, such as body lotion, perfume, cleaning products, etc. The discolouration is not an indication that the item is less than 92.5% silver.

My sterling silver jewellery is now black and dirty looking. Can this be removed?

Yes! Tarnish is a natural phenomenon that occurs with sterling silver (in fact, it is proof that your item is made of genuine silver!), but it can easily be removed. We recommend that you use a silver jewellery polishing cloth, which can be obtained from a jeweler and from some department and drug stores. Another option is a non-abrasive silver polishing paste, such as Wright's. Do not under any circumstances use a liquid jewellery cleaning "dip", as they can damage silver.

To slow tarnish, keep your jewellery in a dry location, and avoid getting it wet by removing it while swimming, bathing or washing dishes.

My ring does not fit / you do not offer my ring size; can the ring be resized?

That depends on the style of the ring. If a ring does not have gemstones or inlaid decoration on the band or has gemstones set only in a crown atop the ring, the band can easily be resized. Most jewelers will set a limit on the number of ring sizes increased or decreased in order to preserve the jewellery design. Ring sizing on many gemstone and diamond rings can also be altered, but the process depends on the style of the ring and the skill of the jeweler. Sometimes, a jeweler can resize a ring by two sizes but usually not more without resetting the stones. It is not recommended that a ring be adjusted by more than one or two full sizes. Rings with designs that encircle the entire shank cannot be resized.

A sterling silver ring can only be resized once, or the integrity of the metal will be compromised. Also, please note that a ring cannot be returned to NOVICA if it has been resized or modified in any way.

The description on this piece of jewellery says "combination finish". What does that mean?

We provide information regarding the type of finish on any jewellery that contains precious metal. For example, a sterling silver ring could have a high-polish finish, or a hammered finish, or any of several finishes.

When a piece of jewellery features more than one kind of finish, we call that a "combination finish". For example, if a ring featured areas that were deliberately oxidised (blackened) as well as highly polished areas, that would be a combination finish. Or, if a pair of earrings had parts that were hammered silver and parts that were brushed/satin silver, that would also be considered a combination finish.

How do I/you know your gemstones are genuine? Do they come with any certification that they are real?

While we cannot test every single piece of jewellery that passes through our hands, we do regularly and randomly have our artisans' gemstones tested at accredited gem laboratories to ensure that they are genuine. We do not provide any formal certification of authenticity, but rest assured that NOVICA stands by its products and is committed to your complete satisfaction.

If you access NOVICA via third-party websites, please ensure that you are satisfied with their respective privacy policies before you provide them with any personal data. We cannot be held responsible for the activities, privacy policies or levels of privacy compliance of any website operated by any third party.

NOVICA may lawfully obtain information from third parties or public sources, and we may process that information where it is an essential component of the products we offer you.

NOVICA may share your personal information with third parties where we are required to do so by law enforcement officials to comply with the applicable laws or regulations, for example when we respond to claims, legal processes, law enforcement, or national security requests.

If a third party acquires us as a result of a merger, acquisition, or business transfer, your personal information may be disclosed and/or transferred to a third party in connection with such a transaction. We will notify you if such a transaction takes place and inform you of any choices you may have regarding your information.

What are your rights?

Depending on why we have and use your personal information, you may have the following rights:

  • Be informed about what we are doing with your personal information;
  • Ask us to correct or complete personal information that we hold about you;
  • Ask us to erase information we hold about you from our records;
  • Ask us to send another organisation personal information that you have provided under the right to data portability;
  • Object to processing of your personal information, such as using it for direct marketing;
  • Understand and input into a decision made by solely automated means if it has a legal or similarly significant effect on you;
  • Withdraw consent of the use of your data;
  • Restrict the processing of your data;

If you would like further information about your rights or wish to exercise them, please contact us at service@novica.com.

We will not charge an administration fee for considering and/or complying with any requests to exercise your rights unless we believe the request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive in its nature. If we are unable to fulfil your request for any reason, we will provide you with a reason as to why.

We will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable if we have reason to believe that there has been a personal data breach by us (or your personal data held by us) which could adversely affect your rights and freedoms.

If you are not happy with the way in which we have handled your personal information and NOVICA UK is unable to resolve the issue/complaint, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK's independent body set up to uphold information rights.
