FAQ
Jewelry Care + Materials
What materials do you use?
For all of our personalized pieces, use 20g 14k gold-filled (no plating!) and .925 sterling silver. With proper care, your pieces will last for years to come. To learn how to care for your pieces and more about 14k gold-filled and sterling silver, check out our care instructions.
How do I care for my jewelry?
Due to the delicate nature of each Luna & Jade piece, we highly recommend that you remove your pieces when you shower, swim, sleep, or work out. Water, sweat, and sprays/perfumes can cause silver to tarnish quickly. If your necklace gets wet, it will not ruin it, but drying it as soon as possible is very helpful. Store each piece(s) in a cool/dry place and do your best to take care of it and it will last for many years to come.
Do any of your materials contain nickel?
Nope! All Luna & Jade pieces are lead & nickel free.
Why is my jewelry tarnishing?
Most precious metals will tarnish with wear. The best way to avoid tarnishing is to not wear your jewelry in the shower or while working out and keep it away from harsh chemicals.
Each and every personalized Luna & Jade order comes with a tarnishing cloth that can be used to clean the jewelry.

Custom Products
Resizing a Charm Bracelet
Since our Charm Bracelets are a personalized item and the chain was custom cut to order, meaning we can’t reuse it, we cannot accept returns/exchanges as stated in the item description — but you do have a few options!
1. you can purchase a bracelet extender to give you a little more wiggle room with size.
2. you can mail the bracelet back and we can add chain to one side, extending the length with a very small jump ring connection — this would be $15 and we’d need to know how much extra chain you’d like added to the bracelet in order to send you a custom invoice for the size adjustment.
3. we can cut an entirely new chain and move the charms over for $25. We’d also need to know what new size you’d need to send a custom invoice for the new chain replacement.
*If you’d like to go with #1, you can order the bracelet extender directly from this link.
*If you’d like to go with option 2 or 3, please send an email to love@lunaandjade.com with your Order # and the NEW total length needed.
What is the difference between etching and engraving?
Etching is essentially “scratching” the surface of the metal which ultimately produces a lighter design whereas engraving cuts much deeper and is typically seen as darker. All Luna & Jade pieces are etched with a very small pattern of lines and/or circles to delicately display the desired design. The final product is minimalist, dainty, and a forever keepsake.
How do I submit handwriting?
All we need is a picture of the handwriting, we do not need an original copy. If the individual is still with us, we’ll need them to write in black ink on a plain white sheet of paper (no lines). If the handwriting is from a loved one who has passed, just provide the clearest picture you can, and we’ll take it from there.
You can upload a copy of the image in the product page during the ordering process.
Can I submit a custom order request?
Sure! If you have a custom order request, you can email love@lunaandjade.com or submit a request through our contact form.
Do you offer double-sided etching?
Yep! Although double-sided etching will add $15 to your order, this can be added when checking out.
What font do you use for all text?
Our default font is Century. We like this font because it’s classic and easy to read. If you have a special font request, contact us prior to ordering to see if we can accommodate you.
What shapes/sizes do you offer for customization?
We offer 3-disc sizes: Lilly (3/4”), Isla (1/2”), and Nora (9mm). And 2-bar sizes: Rose (horizontal 1.5”x0.25”) and Lou (vertical 0.25”x1.5”).
Permanent Jewelry
What is permanent jewelry?
A piece of jewlery that is welded on in a safe and painless manner, rather than secured with a clasp. The 4-step process is quick, easy, and non-invasive. Perfect for the jewelry lover who never wants to take their special pieces off. Classic jewlery that can be worn, always.
How does it work?
The process of securing permanent jewelry is easy, quick, painless, and non-invasive. We will measure the length of chain needed, cut the chain, and place it around your wrist, neck, or ankle. We'll then connect a jump ring and close it quickly and easily with a pulse-arc welder. Classic jewelry that can be worn — always.
How permanent are these pieces?
Should you ever change your mind, these pieces can be easily removed at home with a scissors or nail clippers. Make sure to clip where it was welded and save your chain in case you want to get it linked again in the future. Please note that permanent does not mean invincible.
