Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our fine jewellery, sizing, materials, shipping, and care.

Jewellery Sizing & Fit

How do I find my ring size?

Wrap a thin strip of paper or string around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length in millimetres to find your circumference. We recommend measuring at room temperature at the end of the day. If you fall between sizes, we suggest choosing the larger size.

How do I measure my wrist for a bracelet?

Wrap a soft tape measure or a strip of paper around your wrist just below the wrist bone. Add 1–2 cm for a comfortable fit. Our product pages list the bracelet length so you can compare before purchasing.

Are your necklaces adjustable?

Many of our necklaces feature an adjustable chain with multiple clasp positions. The exact length options are listed on each product page.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), as well as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay.

How are RCJ vendor products shipped?

What packaging will my pieces arrive in?

Packaging depends on the item's supplier: signature AlbaLuxe vendor products arrive in our AlbaLuxe logo jewellery box. RCJ vendor pieces and other partner styles arrive in standard jewellery presentation boxes.

Can I track my order?

Yes! Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a confirmation email with your carrier tracking number and link to follow your delivery in real time.

Will I have to pay customs duties or import taxes?

Depending on your destination country, customs duties or import taxes may apply. These charges are the responsibility of the customer and are not included in our product prices or shipping fees. We recommend checking your local customs regulations before ordering.

Product Care

Can I wear my jewellery in the shower or swimming?

We recommend removing all jewellery before showering, swimming in pools or the sea, and working out. Water, chlorine, salt, and perfumes can accelerate wear on gold plating and dull natural pearls.

How should I store my freshwater pearls and fine jewellery?

Store pieces separately in soft pouches or lined compartments to avoid scratching. Keep freshwater pearls away from direct sunlight and extreme dry heat, and do not seal them in airtight plastic bags for extended periods, as natural pearls benefit from breathing.

How do I clean my jewellery at home?

Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently buff the surface after each wear. For pearls, use a slightly damp cloth and allow them to dry fully before storing. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, silver dips, or abrasive materials.

Materials & Sustainability

Are your materials ethically sourced?

Yes. We are committed to conscious luxury. All our materials are eco-friendly and ethically sourced, from our recycled metals and lab-grown stones to our responsibly harvested pearls.

What is Gold Vermeil?

Gold Vermeil (pronounced ver-may) is a high-quality form of gold jewellery. To be considered Vermeil, the piece must have a Sterling Silver (S925) base and be coated with a thick layer of gold (at least 2.5 microns). It is naturally hypoallergenic and built for lasting wear.

Do you use real pearls?

Yes, we use genuine freshwater pearls. Since they are natural, each pearl is unique in shape and luster, making your jewellery piece one-of-a-kind.

What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is an eco-friendly, lab-grown gemstone that rivals a diamond in brilliance and durability (scoring 9.25 on the Mohs scale). It is a conflict-free choice that offers exceptional sparkle.

Precious Metals & Sensitive Skin

Is your silver "real" silver?

Absolutely. We use S925 Sterling Silver, which consists of 92.5% pure silver. It is hallmarked for authenticity and is naturally hypoallergenic for sensitive skin.

What is the difference between Gold Plated, Gold Vermeil, and Solid Gold?

Gold Plated: Features our sustainable Eco-Brass base with a layer of gold—an accessible option for everyday fashion.
Gold Vermeil: A premium tier using an S925 Sterling Silver base with a much thicker gold layer (at least 2.5 microns)—significantly more durable and naturally hypoallergenic.
Solid Gold: Pure 10k or 14k gold throughout that will never fade or tarnish.

Which is better for sensitive skin?

While both are high quality and nickel-free, Gold Vermeil, Solid Gold, and S925 Sterling Silver are the best choices for sensitive skin due to their naturally hypoallergenic composition.

How can I tell which material a piece is made from on your site?

We believe in full transparency. Every product page has a "Materials" section that clearly lists whether the piece is crafted from Solid Gold, S925 Gold Vermeil, Sterling Silver, or Eco-Brass Gold Plating.
