FAQ

  • What is fine nautical jewelry?

    Fine nautical jewelry is high-end jewelry inspired by the sea, crafted from precious metals such as gold, platinum, and sterling silver, often accented with diamonds, pearls, or gemstones. Designs include anchors, compasses, ship wheels, and seashells, symbolizing freedom, exploration, and a love for the ocean.

  • What materials are used in nautical jewelry?

    Fine nautical jewelry is typically crafted with luxurious materials, including 14k or 18k gold, platinum, sterling silver, and natural gemstones such as diamonds, sapphires, or pearls. These elevate classic nautical designs into heirloom-quality pieces.

  • Is nautical jewelry a good gift?

    Yes, nautical jewelry makes a thoughtful gift for sailors, travelers, beach lovers, or anyone with a connection to the sea. Fine nautical jewelry adds elegance and lasting value, making it an ideal gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or other important milestones.

  • Can Aumaris' ring be resized?

    Yes, all our exquisite nautical rings, crafted in silver, gold, and platinum, can be professionally resized to ensure a perfect fit. We highly recommend contacting us directly if your ring requires resizing, so we can assist you promptly and maintain the quality and integrity of your beautiful piece.

  • Can I wear my nautical jewelry in the ocean?

    Solid Gold: Pure gold is soft, but 14k and 18k gold alloys are stronger and more resistant to damage from saltwater. Yellow gold usually resists corrosion.
    Platinum: This strong, tarnish-resistant metal holds up well in ocean conditions. It's best to rinse off saltwater.
    Silver: Silver is durable and resistant to saltwater corrosion, but it should be rinsed with fresh water.

  • Can I return my jewelry if I change my mind?

    Yes, you have a full 60 days to return your purchase. If you decide to proceed with a return, please visit our returns information page where you will find all the necessary details and instructions.,

  • Why does Aumaris nautical jewelry take two weeks to make?

    Aumaris Nautical Jewelry is meticulously crafted with exceptional care, emphasizing quality over speed. Each piece requires approximately two weeks to complete due to the following reasons:

    Handwoven Craftsmanship: Turk's Head rings are intricately braided by hand using gold or silver wire. This detailed process typically takes between 7 to 10 days.

    Traditional Methods: The jewelry is made using time-honored techniques passed down through generations. These methods demand patience to achieve the precision and fine detail characteristic of Aumaris pieces.

    Made-to-Order Production: Every item is handmade and individually crafted upon order. Aumaris does not maintain large inventories; instead, your jewelry is created specifically for you. Customizations in size, material, or design naturally require additional time.

    This careful and deliberate approach ensures that each creation from Aumaris meets the highest standards of maritime craftsmanship.

  • How to Clean Your Jewelry at Home:

    Make a mild soap and warm water mix. Soak your jewelry for a few minutes. Gently brush with a soft brush to clean. Rinse well with clean water. Dry with a smooth, lint-free cloth.

    Care Tips: Store jewelry in a box or pouch to prevent scratches and damage. Please avoid harsh chemicals and remove them during hazardous activities. Check your pieces regularly; contact Aumaris for any necessary repairs. Handle silver and gold carefully since they are soft metals, to keep them looking good.

  • Are Aumaris' Anchor Chains Solid?

    Yes. All Aumaris anchor chains are meticulously crafted from solid, high-quality materials, giving them a noticeably heavier and more substantial feel than typical chains. They are designed with authentic anchor chain-style links, carefully shaped to reflect traditional maritime craftsmanship. This thoughtful combination guarantees exceptional durability and strength, while also delivering a genuinely maritime appearance that beautifully captures the enduring spirit and timeless essence of the sea.

  • Multiple Production Steps

    Creating fine jewelry at Aumaris Nautical Jewelry involves several key steps, each requiring expertise and careful attention:

    Wax Casting: For our anchor chain bracelets and necklaces, a detailed wax model is first created. This wax copy is used to cast the metal links in various sizes.

    Finishing and Polishing: After casting, every piece is meticulously filed, buffed, and polished to achieve a flawless, smooth surface.

    Stone Setting (if applicable): When gemstones are part of the design, skilled craftsmen carefully set each gem to ensure security and beauty.

    Quality Control: Finally, each finished piece undergoes thorough inspection to ensure it meets Aumaris’s high quality standards before it reaches you.

    This process ensures that our maritime jewelry is not only beautifully designed but also crafted to last.

  • The "Handmade" Advantage:

    Aumaris’ handmade jewelry stands out for its unique design, high quality, and personal touch from the artisan. This careful craftsmanship requires more time but yields a one-of-a-kind piece, unlike mass-produced items.

    In summary, the two-week timeline for Aumaris nautical jewelry is a reflection of our commitment to:
