FAQ- Is this your first addition to our Collection? Then you are at the beginning of a nice collection. Melano wants you to show yourself as you are. But nobody has the same look every day, so check melanojewellery.com.au  every now and then for inspiration.

We also wish you a very long time to enjoy your jewellery. Hence the following usage instructions: Avoid contact with (hard) surfaces to prevent scratches and dents. So do not wear the jewellery if you have to work, play sports, paint, model, build bricks, disassemble an engine or do other kinds of manual work. Do not wear the jewellery when you are active, for example when you exercise, and you may perspire. Avoid contact with water and contact with chemicals such as hairspray, cleaning agents, perfume, lotions or shower gel. So do not wear the jewellery when you do the housework, go swimming, sailing, or take a cold shower. Only clean your jewellery using a clean cloth with lukewarm water, without chemical additives. Do you have a threaded piece of jewellery? Tighten the stones well every day and check whether the rubber ring is still around the screw thread.

How do I know my ring size?

If you’re deliberating from one size to the other, MelanO’s suggests going with the bigger size.  Comfort is the No. 1 priority, so a looser fit is always better.  We have a ring sizer you can purchase. Alternatively, please contact us.

What is plating?
Plating is the process of coating a metal in another colour, it’s a great way to get that special and different look for less. We ensure we have the thickest plating possible on our items, to help them last longer, but plating does come with some risks – please read below.

A plated jewellery item is subject to wear and tear over time. How often you wear your plated jewellery item will impact how long the item will last too. For example, a ring that you wear every day, and which may come into frequent contact with a variety of surfaces, will be more affected than a pendant worn for a few hours once a week.  Additionally, plating is affected by the chemical composition of each person’s skin – some people have more acid in their skin than others, which may accelerate plating loss. It’s impossible to say how long a plated item will last as everyone’s body – and the way they wear their item – is so different. While we plate each item as thickly as possible, and put a special lacquer over the top to assist in keeping the plate in place, we are not responsible for and will not accept any item for re-plating.

How close are these images on the website to the actual item?
All items shown on screen are a representation only and the actual jewellery  may vary to the represented images. The images on screen are to scale in relation to each other but are not to scale in comparison to real life. Where possible, we have provided the item’s measurements to help you assess the item size.

The colour of the actual stones may vary too from the represented image on screen; this is a result of stone supply and out of our control. We will use reasonable endeavour to ensure the actual stones colour resembles the colour of the stone in the represented image on your order confirmation.

Metals too may vary in their colour between the represented images on screen and the actual item. We have made every attempt to represent the colour of the images as accurately as possible – any variations may be as a result of computer screen settings. Metal quality will not be impacted by this variation.

What kind of chain do you use?
We have sourced and tested a number of different kinds of chains to be used for pendants & necklaces. We have selected the snake chain at 1.35mm in diameter, as it’s strong enough to accommodate pendants at the end while remaining flexible. In the event that there are supply issues with this style of chain, we will replace it with a similar diameter and length ie: 1.5mm. ’This replacement chain will not materially impact the price of the item. We have also selected the ‘5 wires’ chain as an alternative option. Most chain have been fitted with a special flat clasp.
