REPAIRS

Serpentine Jewelry Design jewelry is handmade with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. We hope you will enjoy your jewelry for years to come. However, jewelry is inherently delicate. Please see our Serpentine Jewelry Design care guide for advice on keeping your jewelry in the best condition.

 If you should encounter the need for a repair, please contact us at info@serpentinejewelrydesign.com. Please reference your name, order number, item in need of repair and the repair issue.

We can only accept repairs for items purchased on serpentinejewelrydesign.com. Repairs for items purchased at one of our retailers should be returned through the original point of purchase.

 

JEWELRY CARE

All Serpentine Jewelry Design jewelry is handmade using a variety of natural materials. Due to the nature of these materials, they can be damaged from exposure to water, perfume, cologne, hairspray or lotions. Jewelry should not be worn while showering, exercising, sleeping, swimming or while in a sauna. Any of these elements can damage the beads or the cord upon which stretch bracelets are strung and can lead to future breakage. While not wearing your jewelry, we recommend storing your items in their original Serpentine Jewelry Design muslin bag.

Serpentine stretch and mini-stretch bracelets should be ROLLED over your hand when putting them on or taking them off, rather than stretching or pulling at the elastic cord. Stretching or pulling the bracelet can weaken the elastic cord and over time may cause the bracelet to break.
