Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about sizing, materials, jewelry care, orders, shipping and returns.

Shopping and Gifts

What does Vivianne Rae sell?

We sell rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets and charms, along with engagement, wedding and bridal jewelry. Styles range from simple everyday pieces to statement designs, in sterling silver, gold and gemstone looks. You can shop by style, metal, gemstone or budget from the menu at the top of every page.

How do I find the right piece for me?

Start with the category you have in mind, then use the filters to narrow the list by price, metal and style. Each product page lists materials and measurements under Details and care, so you can compare pieces before you buy. If you are stuck between two options, email us and we will help you choose.

Are your pieces good for gifts?

Yes. Our gift guide groups styles by recipient, occasion and budget, which makes it easier to find a fit for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and graduations. Earrings, necklaces and charms are easy gift choices because they do not depend on an exact size.

What if I do not know my gift recipient's size?

Earrings, necklaces, charms and most bracelets are the safest choices, since they do not need a precise fit. For rings, look for open or adjustable styles, or ask the recipient to measure a ring they already wear and compare it with the sizes on the product page. If a ring does not fit, our return policy covers eligible items within 14 days of delivery.

Do you sell engagement and wedding rings?

Yes. We carry engagement rings, wedding bands, eternity bands and bridal jewelry, plus earrings and necklaces to match. Browse the rings collection and filter by style to see them together.

Can I layer and stack my jewelry?

Yes. Many of our rings, bracelets and necklaces are designed to be worn together. Stacking rings and layered necklaces are a good place to start, and mixing metals is fine if you like a more relaxed look. Add one piece at a time until the stack feels like you.

Sizing and Fit

How do I find my ring size?

Measure the inside diameter of a ring that already fits the finger you plan to wear the new ring on, then match it to a ring size chart. You can also wrap a strip of paper around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps and measure that length. Compare your size with the options listed on the product page.

What if I am between ring sizes?

Go up a size for wide bands, since they fit more snugly, and if your fingers tend to swell in warm weather. For thin bands, the smaller size usually works. Most of our ring sizes are listed in whole sizes, so email us before ordering if you are unsure.

How do I choose a necklace length?

A 16 inch chain sits close to the base of the neck, an 18 inch chain falls just below the collarbone, and 20 to 24 inch chains hang lower on the chest. Think about the necklines you wear most, then pick the length where you want the pendant to land. For layering, choose lengths about 2 inches apart so the chains do not tangle. Some styles include an extender, which is listed on the product page.

How do I measure for a bracelet?

Wrap a soft measuring tape around your wrist just above the wrist bone, then add about half an inch to 1 inch depending on how snug you like it. For bangles and cuffs, measure the widest part of your hand with your thumb tucked in. Compare your numbers with the length or diameter listed under Details and care.

How do I size an anklet?

Measure your ankle with a soft tape just above the ankle bone, then add about 1 inch so the anklet moves comfortably without slipping off. Check the length listed on the product page, since some styles include an adjustable chain.

Which earring style is right for me?

Studs sit flat on the earlobe and suit all-day wear. Hoops and huggies hug the lobe for a bolder look, and drop or threader earrings add movement. If you are unsure, start with studs or small hoops and check the measurements on the product page to see how large they will look.

Do you list measurements for each piece?

Yes. Each product page lists materials and measurements under Details and care, so you can check size, length or width before you order. Photos can make small pieces look larger, so rely on the listed measurements to judge scale.

Materials and Quality

What is sterling silver?

Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5 percent pure silver and 7.5 percent other metals, usually copper, which adds strength. It is often stamped 925 or .925. The materials listed on each product page show which pieces are sterling silver.

What is the difference between plated and solid gold jewelry?

Plated jewelry has a thin layer of gold over a base metal such as sterling silver, while solid gold is gold all the way through. Plating gives you the look of gold at a lower price, and it wears gradually with friction, water and lotions. Check Details and care on the product page to see how a piece is made.

What is rhodium plating?

Rhodium is a bright, silvery white metal that is often plated over sterling silver. It adds shine and helps slow tarnish. When a product page lists a rhodium finish, expect a white, mirror-like look.

What are cubic zirconia stones?

Cubic zirconia is a lab-created gemstone made from zirconium dioxide. It is clear when pure and can also be made in colors, and it is known for sparkle at a lower price than diamond. The stone type is listed on each product page.

Is your jewelry okay for sensitive skin?

Reactions depend on the metal and the person, so we cannot promise that any piece will suit every skin type. Check the materials listed on the product page, and if you have a known metal sensitivity, email us before ordering and we will help you choose.

Why might a piece look different from the photos?

We work to show colors, finishes and details accurately, but lighting, photography and screen settings can make a piece look a little different in person. If an item does not match its listing, email us within 72 hours of delivery with photos so we can help.

Jewelry Care and Wear

Can I wear Vivianne Rae jewelry every day?

Many styles are made for daily wear, especially simple chains, studs and stacking rings. Check Details and care on each product page for materials and care notes. Taking pieces off at night helps them last longer.

How do I clean my jewelry?

Wipe pieces with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils and lotion. For a deeper clean, use a soft cloth with a drop of mild soap and warm water, rinse, and dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scrubbing, which can scratch finishes and wear away plating.

Why does silver tarnish, and how do I slow it down?

Sterling silver darkens naturally when it reacts with air, moisture and sulfur compounds, which is normal and easy to manage. Wearing your jewelry often, wiping it after wear and storing it in a sealed bag or box all slow tarnish. A silver polishing cloth removes light tarnish from solid silver, but skip it on plated finishes.

How should I store my jewelry?

Keep each piece in its own pouch or compartment so chains do not tangle and stones do not scratch metal. Store pieces in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and bathroom humidity.

Can I wear my jewelry in the shower or pool?

We recommend taking jewelry off before showering, swimming or working out. Water, chlorine, salt and sweat can dull finishes, speed up tarnish and wear down plating. Put jewelry on last, after perfume, hairspray and lotion.
