FAQ
🌙 WHEN DO YOU DROP NEW PIECES?
Honestly, whenever we feel like it! Our workflow is what it is, and that’s erratic at best. (We aim for about every 6 weeks though.)
Things can move fast, so if something speaks to you… grab it before it disappears.

What is Gold Alchemia?
Gold Alchemia is a high-quality, gold-tone alloy that’s made to last. It has the look of real gold, but it’s more affordable and more durable than gold-plated jewelry. Unlike brass, it won’t tarnish or turn your skin green—but the surface shine can fade or scratch over time, especially on rings and cuffs that get a lot of wear.
It’s nickel-free, lead-free, and safe for most people with metal allergies.

đź”§ DO YOU REPAIR JEWELRY?
We do not repair anything we did not make. No exceptions.
If there is a flaw in the craftsmanship of a piece, we will repair it for free.
We stand by the quality of our work and want you to love your Moon Bear Jewels for years to come.
If you purchased a high-end or fine jewelry piece (think: sterling silver, one-of-a-kind statement rings, etc.) and something unexpected happens—like a stone loosening or a clasp failing due to a flaw in craftsmanship—please reach out. We’re happy to make it right.
Because we sell a wide range of items, we’re not able to offer repairs on lower-cost or more delicate pieces like stretch bracelets or beaded earrings. These are priced with accessibility in mind and may naturally experience wear over time.
We appreciate your understanding as we focus our repair resources on the pieces that require specialized tools, techniques, and care.
If you're ever unsure whether your piece qualifies for repair, feel free to email us and we’ll point you in the right direction.

HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR MY JEWELRY?
-
Store your jewelry in a dry place and avoid water, sweat, and products like lotions or perfume—especially with opals and turquoise.
-
Our Gold Alchemia pieces don’t tarnish easily, but the shine can wear off your ring band or cuff from wear. Remember to take your jewelry off if you're moving furniture, etc.
-
Sterling silver will oxidize and tarnish naturally. This is easy to remove with a polishing cloth.
-
Gold fill chain holds up WAY better than plated, but it will still fade if you don’t take care of it.
-
Treat your jewelry kindly—don’t wear it in the shower, while sleeping, or while crushing it on your Peloton or a mountain trail. Handmade means one-of-a-kind, not indestructible.

WILL THIS TURN MY SKIN GREEN?
We use high-quality Sterling Silver, Gold Fill, and Gold Alchemia—none of which are known for turning skin green. That said, everyone’s body chemistry is different! Factors like sweat, skincare, and how you wear your pieces can affect this. If you have a metal allergy, it’s best to be mindful of how your skin reacts to different materials.
