​DOES YOUR JEWELRY EVER TARNISH?

.
Stainless Steel 316 requires minimal maintenance. It is waterproof, will not tarnish, and is resistant to oxidation. Our jewelry is designed to be worn 24/7, including in the shower or swimming pool.

Note: After exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water, we recommend rinsing your stainless steel jewelry with fresh water, using a mild soap, and gently drying it with a soft cloth to maintain its original shine.

DOES YOUR JEWELRY GIVE ALLERGENIC REACTIONS?

.
Taormina Jewelry uses only high-grade 316 stainless steel, known for being hypoallergenic, nickel-safe, and tarnish-free.
We have proudly been in business for 15 years, and to date, we have never received a single complaint regarding allergic reactions.

Technical Note: 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which enhances its resistance to corrosion, especially in salty or humid environments. It is commonly used in medical implants and marine-grade applications, making it exceptionally safe and durable for everyday wear—even for sensitive skin.

​I RECEIVED THE ORDER, BUT I ORDERED THE WRONG SIZE.. NOW WHAT?

.
If, after receiving your order (tension-set rings, necklaces, bracelets), you realize that you need a different size, please contact us to initiate the exchange or resizing process.
Please note that a resizing fee may apply, as adjustments often require additional materials and labor hours.

Important: If the sizing issue is due to an error on our part, the resizing will be provided free of charge.
