ABOUT OUR JEWELRY

Our Earring Replacement Process has two simple steps:

  1. Return your remaining earring.

  2. Purchase a new pair of earrings for one-half of the current price.

SOLDERING

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

Sorry, we do not offer soldering or repair service. Please call or come in to see us if our item failed you in any way.

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 Spoon Ring Guy rings are available in full and half sizes. For your convenience, download our printable Ring Size Guide or stop in at your nearest jewelry store and ask them to size your finger. If you are near Pipe & Palette Home Outfitters in Plano, Texas. They can help you as well with your correct ring size. You should wear spoon rings 1/2 size larger for proper air circulation.

CARE & CLEANING

How do I properly clean and care for my Spoon Ring Guy 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. 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 a soft flannel pouch. We recommend a simple zip lock baggy to help eliminate air and corrosion.

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 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?

Make sure your ring is sized properly. 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.

ORDERING

I saw an item I wanted a long time ago, but now I can’t find it in on your website. Is it still possible to order this item?

Absolutely, if it is still in our active line. Remember with hand made vintage products each item is a little different. We can only make so many items in a certain pattern before its all gone and then we search out for the same popular pattern. And, we try to highlight new items introduced in our line plus many of our best selling items. All items in our active line may be viewed online. Prices are subject to change without notice. Please contact us if you have any questions.

I placed my order yesterday, but today I found another item I want to add to my order. What should I do?
