FAQ
What materials/ metals are used in your jewelry?
Valerie Madison prioritizes the use of recycled 14k gold whenever feasible.
Additionally, our commitment to ethical practices extends to our diamonds and gemstones, which are both conflict-free and sourced through fair trade. Our diamonds adhere to the Kimberley Process. Rather than engaging in bulk procurement and production, we meticulously choose honest and ethical stones from suppliers on an individual basis.
Jewelry Care & Warranty
How do I take care of my jewelry?
It is a good habit to remove all jewelry before sleeping, exercising, showering, gardening, heavy lifting, swimming, etc. Put your jewelry on after bathing, spraying perfumes, hairsprays, or lotions and cosmetics. Avoid chemical cleaners, abrasive polishing agents, and chlorine. A combination of mild soap, warm water, and a soft toothbrush may be used for cleaning. Refrain from using chemical jewelry cleaners outside of the products we've personally tested and recommend. A detailed jewelry care sheet can be found here.
Do you offer a product warranty?
We do! Our warranty program covers polishing, setting repair, accent stone replacement, chain/clasp repairs, and re-welding. Detailed information on our warranty can be found here.
Please feel welcome to come by our shop for complimentary cleaning and inspection if you would like to have a pair of professional eyes on your piece.
