FREQUENTLY ASKED

Everything you might want to ask

If you don't find your answer below, write to us β€” we read everything.

Personalization

How many characters can I engrave?

Up to 10 characters per piece β€” letters, numbers, and a handful of symbols. We kept the limit tight on purpose: short names read better, age better, and stay legible at the small scale of a pendant or bracelet.

Which symbols can I add?

You can add up to 6 symbols mixed in with your letters. The set is intentionally small so each one carries weight:

πŸ¦‹   🐾   ⭐   πŸŒ™   ✝   ❀   &

Butterfly, paw, star, moon, cross, heart, and ampersand. Pick one β€” or string a few together for initials, a couple, or a pet's name.

Can I use accents or non-Latin letters?

Letters are limited to A–Z and 0–9. Accents (Γ©, Γ±, ΓΌ) and characters from other scripts aren't supported right now β€” they don't render well at this size and on this medium. We're working on it.

Will I see a preview before it's made?

Yes β€” the personalizer on every product page shows your piece in real time as you type. What you see is what we make.

Can I change the engraving after I order?

Each piece is made to order, so we start production quickly. Reach out within 12 hours of placing your order and we'll do everything we can to adjust it before our team begins.

Materials & care

What metals do you use?

Our core pieces are crafted in solid 925 sterling silver, finished in 18k gold or rose gold plating, or kept in natural silver. Every plating is applied at a thickness designed to last with daily wear.

Is your jewelry hypoallergenic?

Yes. Our pieces are nickel-free, lead-free, and cadmium-free. They're built to be worn against the skin, every day, including by people with sensitive skin.

Can I wear it in the shower or pool?

You can shower with it without worry. We recommend taking it off for the pool, the ocean, and the gym β€” chlorine, salt, and sweat slowly dull any plating over time. Same goes for perfume and lotion: spray first, jewelry last.

How do I clean it?

A soft, dry cloth is enough to bring back the shine on most days. For a deeper clean, use warm water with a drop of mild soap, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Skip the toothbrush β€” bristles can scratch plating.

Will it tarnish?

All fine jewelry β€” even pieces from the biggest houses β€” patinas over time. With care, our pieces stay bright for years. If a beloved piece dulls, write to us; we'll talk you through replating or refinishing options.

Shipping & delivery

How long does it take to make my piece?

Every Aura piece is made to order. Production typically takes 2 to 4 business days before it ships β€” sometimes faster, never rushed.

How long is delivery?
  • United States & Canada: 5–8 business days
  • United Kingdom: 5–8 business days
  • Australia: 7–12 business days

You'll get a tracking link by email the moment your order leaves the workshop.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. More countries are coming β€” if you'd like us to reach yours, tell us.

Are duties and taxes included?

Yes. The price you see at checkout is the price you pay β€” no surprise customs fees, no extra charges at delivery.

Where's my order?

You'll receive a tracking link by email when your piece ships. If anything looks off, write to us with your order number and we'll chase it down personally.

Returns, sizing & gifting

Can I return a personalized piece?

Because every piece is made specifically for one person, personalized orders are final sale. We don't take that lightly β€” that's why we built a live preview, why we cap personalization at 10 characters, and why we double-check every engraving before it leaves the workshop.

If something arrives different from what you ordered, write to us within 14 days and we'll remake it at no cost.

How do I pick the right necklace length?
  • 16 in / 40 cm: sits at the collarbone β€” classic, close to the throat
  • 18 in / 45 cm: our most-loved length, falls just below the collarbone
  • 20 in / 50 cm: rests on the upper chest β€” easy to layer

If in doubt, measure a necklace you already love and match it.

How do I size a bracelet?

Wrap a soft tape measure around your wrist where the bracelet will sit, snug but not tight. Add roughly half an inch (1.5 cm) for an everyday fit. Most bracelets adjust within a 1-inch range so there's room to forgive a small guess.

Can I make it a gift?

Every Aura piece arrives in our signature gift box, ready to give β€” no extra step. You can add a personal note at checkout, and we'll print it on a card so it travels with the piece, never on the invoice.

How can I pay?

All major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Shop Pay. You can also split your order in installments at checkout where available.
