FAQs

Q: What materials does Fjord Jewelry use?
A: Fjord Jewelry is crafted from solid 925 sterling silver and finished with either 14k gold plating (up to 1 micron thick) or rhodium plating for enhanced shine and durability.  This offers a beautiful fine-jewelry look at an accessible price point.

Q: What is rhodium plating, and why do you use it?
A: Rhodium is a rare, precious metal often used to enhance the brightness and durability of silver jewelry. It adds a reflective, tarnish-resistant finish and helps prevent scratching and dullness over time.

Q: Is Fjord Jewelry considered vermeil?
A: No. While we use a sterling silver base like vermeil, our gold plating is up to 1 micron thick — below the 2.5-micron minimum required for the vermeil label. We design our pieces for everyday elegance, balancing quality and price.

Q: Why not use vermeil or solid gold?
A: We choose gold plating up to 1 micron and rhodium finishing to create affordable luxury — offering the elevated look of fine jewelry without the high markup. It’s our way of making everyday elegance accessible.

Q: Will the plating wear off?
A: With proper care, both gold and rhodium plating will retain their appearance for a long time. Avoid water, lotions, and perfumes, and store your pieces in a dry, clean space to extend their life.

Q: Can I wear Fjord Jewelry every day?
A: Yes. Our jewelry is made for everyday wear — just treat it with care to preserve its beauty.

Q: Does Fjord Jewelry come in gift packaging?
A: Yes. Every order arrives in our signature Fjord box — minimalist, timeless, and perfect for gifting.

Q: What is your return policy?
