FAQs

Q: Which countries does International Checkout ship to?

A: International shipping is currently available WORLDWIDE from IPPOLITA.

Q: Who should I contact with questions about my international order?

A: All enquiries regarding your international order should be directed to: customerservice@ippolita.com.

Q: Do IPPOLITA Bangles come in different sizes?

A: Yes, IPPOLITA bangles do come in different sizes. If you are ordering online and don’t know your bangle size, you can take the measurement yourself. Bangle size is determined by the size of your knuckles and NOT your wrist. To determine your bangle size, simply tuck your thumb into the palm of your hand (as if about to put on a bangle) and using a measuring tape, measure your hand all the way around from knuckle to knuckle. A sizing chart is located at the top of each product page. Compare your measurement to that chart to find your ideal sized bangle.

Q: Will IPPOLITA make pieces in other metals besides gold and sterling silver?

A: Though we try to accommodate a customer’s request, we will only produce our pieces in 18K yellow, white or rose gold and sterling silver.

Q: What credit cards do you accept?

A: We accept the following credit cards:

  • American Express
  • VISA
  • MasterCard
  • Discover

Once the credit card is approved the total dollar amount of the order is allocated to the card. Payment (transfer of funds) does not occur until the order ships. For example, if you order an item on Monday and it does not ship until Thursday of that week, your credit card will be charged on Thursday, the day the item ships out.

Please note if the amount charged exceeds the credit card limit, the order is automatically cancelled.

If you would like to use two credit cards, you may place a phone order and let us know the amount to charge on each credit card.

Q: What is electroformed jewelry?

The electroform jewelry-making process involves surrounding an underlying structure with galvanic layers of precious metal, then melting the insides away, leaving behind pieces that preserve those original shapes. The resulting pieces will often display slight variations, making each individual design unique. This technique allows the jewelry to be light and wearable. *Electroform styles on IPPOLITA.com have "E.F." in the description.

Care & Repair

PRODUCT CARE

IPPOLITA jewelry has been designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Proper care and maintenance will preserve the beauty and shine of your IPPOLITA jewelry. Periodic examination of clasps and settings to ensure a secure fit is recommended. Take care to avoid exposing jewelry to substances containing bleach or ammonia and remove your jewelry before swimming in chlorinated water or the ocean. Always put your jewelry on after you dress to avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics or other household chemicals.

Storage

When it is not being worn, always store your jewelry in its original case. If this is impractical, use a suitably lined box or protective pouch. To avoid scratches, each piece of jewelry should be stored separately and bracelets should always be stored flat. Never store your IPPOLITA Silver, Rosé or Notte jewelry in a leather pouch or bag. To avoid accelerated tarnishing always store your IPPOLITA Silver, Rosé and Notte jewelry in the special pouches provided.

18k Gold

Most gold jewelry can be safely cleaned with a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner. Always rinse completely and blot dry with a chamois cloth. Never use creamy jewelry cleaners on gold as they may containing harsh abrasives that will scratch the surface of the jewelry

Silver

Exposure to air, dust or other elements, particularly those containing sulfur, may cause sterling silver to tarnish more rapidly. There are a number of non-abrasive polishes on the market specifically designed to remove tarnish. Always read the warning label and take care when using polishes on jewelry containing gemstones. Never store your IPPOLITA Silver jewelry in a leather pouch or bag.

Gemstones

Special attention should be paid to IPPOLITA gemstone jewelry. Avoid extreme temperature changes and contact with household chemicals. Never expose stones to hot solutions, abrasive cleaners or ultrasonic cleaners. With the exception of pearls, which require special care, gemstones may be cleaned with a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner.

IPPOLITA turquoise and pearl jewelry require special care to keep the stones looking their best. Never let these stones come in contact with creams, ammoniated liquid, nail polish remover OR chlorinated water (swimming pools, etc.).

Leather

Avoid contact with water or other liquids. If your IPPOLITA leather bracelet becomes soiled, it can be cleaned with saddle soap followed by a treatment of commercial beeswax polish.

Custom Ring Sizes

IPPOLITA would love to keep all ring sizes in stock for our valued customers so orders ship without a wait. However due to the custom nature of our products, all rings cannot be stocked in all sizes. To check ring size availability, please email PersonalShopper@ippolita.com.
