Warranty Policy

Starting from Monday 21st October 2024, the warranty policy below applies retrospectively to purchases made in the last 12 months, and all future purchases until further notice. 

All jewellery purchased from Alana Maria Jewellery comes with a 12 month warranty from the date of purchase. Products under warranty are repaired or replaced at no cost to the customer within 12 months of purchase. 

Alana Maria Jewellery’s warranty covers repair and restoration services for any products deemed defective or faulty, requiring the expertise of our specialists. Please note, our warranty does not cover lost items, accidental breakage and general wear and tear, such as scratched, tarnished or faded jewellery. Our warranty does not cover inappropriate use or storage of your product, and any work undertaken on one of our pieces by third parties, including resizing or repairs. 

Furthermore, our product warranty does not extend to the replacement, exchange or refund of products due to normal wear and lack of adherence to our recommended product care guidelines. Your jewellery is a cherished investment, and proper care ensures its longevity. 

After our 12-month warranty period, we offer a lifetime repair service for a small fee, ensuring you can cherish your jewellery for years to come. Alternatively, you can participate in our recycling program to help us move toward a more sustainable future. Learn more about the Alana Maria Jewellery recycling program here. 

Fees outside of the warranty period

Outside the 12 month warranty period, any repairs will attract a fee: 

  • $20 service fee for repair, or anything requiring assessment such as tarnish, discolour, broken clasp. 
  • Customers will have to cover the RRP cost of any components or charms requiring replacement on top of the service fee 
  • $30 - $50 restring fee for bracelets and necklaces respectively (service fee included in price) 
  • Customers cover postage costs, or they may bring items to a store for free postage.

AMJ Forever bracelet and anklets

Warranty on our AMJ forever bracelets and anklets follow our same 12-month warranty of all products. 

Should your AMJ forever experience any breakage within 12 months of your initial appointment, kindly book another appointment on our website here to have it re-welded free of charge. During this session, our jeweller will assess the possibility of re-welding your piece. Please ensure the safekeeping of your chain in the interim.

Breakage beyond the initial 12-month warranty period, will be deemed as natural wear and tear. Unfortunately we do not offer the option of a store credit in this case. However, we encourage the addition of a bracelet or anklet clasp, free of charge. This will provide greater durability and is likely to be more suitable for active lifestyles. 

AMJ forever pieces outside our 12-month warranty can also be applied to our recycling program. More information on this can be found here.

Jewellery Care

This section doesn’t currently include any content. Add content to this section using the sidebar.

Alana Maria Jewellery pieces are hand-made to order. Our pieces are crafted from either; 14 Karat Solid Gold, 14 Karat White Gold , 14 and 18 Karat Gold filled, or Sterling Silver, adorned with Australian Freshwater Pearls or Diamonds 

Due to the delicate hand-crafted nature of our pieces, special care is required to ensure the longevity of each piece. We recommend avoiding chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, chlorine, fake tan etc. and removing your jewellery before swimming, showering and exercising to avoid unnecessary wear and tear and scratching of your piece. When getting dressed it is also best to place your jewellery on last. 

To keep your jewels in the best condition, we recommend following the guidelines specific of each material your piece is handcrafted with

The Alana Maria Solid Gold pieces are meticulously crafted with the intention of enduring a lifetime. Their exceptional designs ensure resistance to tarnishing, even when exposed to elements such as water in the shower or the ocean. However, it’s important to note that the high purity of this metal imparts a delicate nature to the pieces. 

To maintain the longevity and pristineness of your jewellery, we recommend storing your Alana Maria Solid Gold pieces in a dry place when not in use. This precautionary step helps protect the jewellery from potential environmental factors that may affect its delicate composition. By adhering to these care guidelines, you can ensure that your precious piece remains timeless and will be in your forever jewellery collection. 

It is advisable to refrain from storing your gold-filled pieces in cardboard or wooden boxes. Such storage options often constrain natural oils that, over time, can be detrimental to the wellbeing of your jewellery. These oils have the potential to cause corrosion and can accentuate the visibility of solder joints, which are integral parts of the jewellery’s construction. 

These oils can also interact with the metal components of your gold-filled pieces, leading to undesirable effects such as tarnishing or accelerated wear. By avoiding storage in cardboard or wooden boxes, you help mitigate the risk of exposing your jewellery to substance that could compromise its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Opting for alternative storage solutions in a dry and non-reactive environment will contribute to the prolonged beauty and durability of your piece

It is important to recognise that Gold Vermeil products demand special care to preserve their beauty over time. To maintain the integrity of your Gold Vermeil jewellery, it is strongly advised to avoid exposing it to water. Water exposure can accelerate the wear and tear of the gold plating and potentially affect the underlying base metal. Therefore, it is recommended to remove Gold Vermeil pieces before activities that involve water, such as swimming or showering. This will ensure you are handling your pieces with care and contribute to the enduring elegance and longevity of your jewellery.

Over time, it is perfectly normal for your Sterling Silver piece to undergo a natural oxidation process, resulting in tarnishing. To mitigate this natural occurrence, we recommend incorporating your silver jewellery into your everyday wardrobe. The natural oils present in your skin help stop the process of tarnishing. Frequent wear of your pieces will help maintain the lustrous appearance of your jewellery. 

Despite the beneficial effect of wearing your silver piece often, it is advisable to be cautious when exposing your jewellery to water and chemicals. These substances can accelerate the tarnishing process and affect the overall aesthetic of your jewellery however this can be combated with the use of a silver polishing cloth. This specialised cloth is designed to gently remove tarnish and restore the brilliance of your Sterling Silver piece without causing damage. By following these care instructions, you can ensure the longevity and beauty of your jewellery. 

If your Alana Maria piece incorporates pearls into its design, it’s crucial to exercise caution regarding exposure to certain elements. Specifically, it is advised to steer clear of contact with the ocean, water and other chemicals. 

Pearls typically have a central hole, when exposed to environmental factors there is a risk of substances accumulating within this hole. Over time, this buildup may contribute to the darkening of the pearl, potentially altering its original white appearance. It is recommended to avoid such exposure that could introduce particles or substances that may compromise their aesthetic appeal. By taking these precautions it will preserve the pristine quality of the freshwater pearl and ensure longevity.

To prevent the breakdown or damage of your jewellery, it is essential to remove any accumulated dirt or chemical buildup that may react negatively with the metals in your jewellery piece. Regular cleaning is a proactive measure to maintain the longevity and visual appeal of your Alana Maria Jewellery. 

For convenient at home cleaning, we recommend soaking your jewellery piece in warm, soapy water. Using a very soft toothbrush, gently rub over the piece to remove any dirt or residues. After cleaning, pat the piece dry with a soft cloth and wear as usual. 

As part of our commitment to customer satisfaction, we extend a complimentary in-house cleaning service to all Alana Maria Jewellery purchases. Feel free to visit our store for this service or or reach out to our team via email at enquiries@alanamariajewellery.com to coordinate the polishing of your piece by our team. This will ensure a thorough renewal of your jewellery’s beauty and the preservation of its original shine, allowing you to continue enjoying your exquisite pieces for years to come.
