FAQ
Product Information
1.WHAT ARE VXXXVY PIECES MADE OF, DOES IT CONTAIN NICKEL?
All pieces are made from 316L and/or 304L stainless steel. Both contain miniscule amounts of nickel, which qualifies them for use in hypoallergenic jewelry. 316L stainless steel is commonly used in surgical instruments and other medical equipment. It could still trigger an allergic reaction.
The anodized Aluminum used in a few jewelry pieces is entirely nickel-free.
The description of each item notes any non-stainless steel metal used in the crafting process.
2. HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY JEWELRY?
Stainless steel jewelry will not rust, tarnish or leave green stains, but following certain steps will ensure the longevity and shine of your jewelry. Read my blog about caring for your VXXXVY jewelry.
3.CAN THE PIERCINGS ON SOME OF THE JEWELRY PIECES BECOME LOOSE AND FALL OFF?
The piercing balls on all jewelry pieces are attached with a technique so they won't fall off. I check the piercings on every order before I package and ship them to make sure they are secure. I still advice to handle your new jewelry with care!
Orders before September 2023, include jewelry where I haven't used this technique so in case your piercings fell off, just sent me an email with your name and order number, so we can figure out a solution!
4.WHAT IS A PRE ORDER ITEM?
Preorder means it can take up to a few weeks for your order to be made and shipped. More information can be found in the description of those items.
