Repairs & Resizing

Jewelry made by Stacie Hess is built to last, but over time, daily wear can leave a mark — that’s part of what makes it yours.

Please email studio@staciehess.com with your request and we’ll provide an assessment, timeline, and estimated cost before proceeding.

Jewelry Care

Each piece of fine jewelry is meant to be worn and treasured — but caring for it properly will help preserve its beauty for generations.

⸻

Gold

    •    22k gold is naturally soft and develops a gentle glow with wear.
•    Store pieces separately to avoid surface scratches.
•    To clean, use mild soap and warm water; dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

⸻

Diamonds & Gemstones

    •    Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners for pieces with pavé or baguette settings.
•    Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth to restore luster.
•    Take care when exercising or lifting heavy objects, as impacts may loosen stones.

⸻

Storage

Keep jewelry away from extreme temperatures and moisture. A soft pouch or lined box is ideal.

⸻

Lost or Stolen Packages

All shipments are fully insured until delivery is confirmed.
Once a package is marked as delivered, we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft.
If you believe your package is missing, please contact the carrier and our studio immediately — we’ll help initiate an insurance claim where possible.
