Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you'd want to know about materials, care, orders, shipping and returns. Still have a question? Write to us at ratnaura9@gmail.com.
What materials are used in Ratnaura jewelry?
Our collections include jewelry crafted in precious materials such as 925 sterling silver, gold-plated sterling silver, and
selected gold designs. The exact material, plating, and product details are
clearly mentioned on each product page.
What does 925 sterling silver mean?
925 sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver, combined with a small percentage of other metals to improve strength and durability. It is a widely recognized standard for authentic sterling silver jewelry.
Is your jewelry authentic?
Yes. Authenticity and transparency are important to us. Every product page includes clear information about the material, finish, and plating used in the piece.
Is every Ratnaura piece handmade?
Our collections are thoughtfully curated from skilled manufacturers and artisans. Some pieces may include handcrafted or hand-finished details, while others are produced using modern jewelry-making techniques.
Will the jewelry look exactly like the photographs?
We make every effort to represent each product as accurately as possible. However, slight variations in colour may occur due to lighting, photography, and individual screen settings. Hand-finished pieces may also have subtle variations that make each one unique.
Is Ratnaura jewelry suitable for sensitive skin?
Skin sensitivity differs from person to person. The materials used in each piece are listed on the product page so you can make an informed choice. We recommend avoiding a product if you are sensitive or
allergic to any of the listed materials.
Can sterling silver jewelry tarnish?
Yes. Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time when exposed to air, moisture, perfumes, lotions, or chemicals. Tarnishing does not mean the silver is inauthentic and can usually be reduced with proper care and gentle cleaning.
How should I care for my Ratnaura jewelry?
To help preserve your jewelry:
- Keep it away from water, perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and household chemicals.
- Remove it before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.
- Gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.
- Store each piece separately in a dry, airtight pouch or jewelry box.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners on plated or oxidized jewelry.
Can I wear my jewelry every day?
Many of our designs are selected for everyday wear. However, all jewelry should be handled with care. Regular exposure to water, sweat,chemicals, and friction may gradually affect the finish or plating.
How long will gold plating last?
The life of gold plating depends on how frequently the jewelry is worn and how it is cared for. Exposure to water, perfume, sweat, skincare products, and friction can cause the plating to fade over time. Proper
storage and care can help preserve the finish.
How should I clean oxidized jewelry?
Oxidized jewelry is intentionally darkened to create an antique finish. Avoid using silver-polishing solutions or abrasive cloths, as they may remove the oxidized detailing. Gently wipe the piece with a soft, dry cloth instead.
