For an additional charge of $8.00, you can request that the font be changed. Please purchase the design that you would like. In the CUSTOMER'S NOTE section, tell us the new font. We will add the charge to your total, you will not see this total on your order form.
3. What if I prefer the first letter of the name or word to be in lower case instead of capital?What if In this case, please tell us in the Customer's Note section upon check out. Tell us all specifics of the name if there are changes from the sample photo.
4. What if the "name" I want has more than one capital letter, or I want to add signs such as "@", or numbers, etc.? We can make any name for word that has all characters on a standard keyboard. For orders with any additional numbers or signs, an $9.00 charge will be added automatically. If you are ordering 2 names, use our GreeleyEstates sample only. Any name with more than one capital letter is considered 2 names. We can make thing for you!
If you see a font that you like more than Classic Cursive, for our 2 name necklace, simply tell us the NEW FONT in the customer's note section. There will be no additional charge for changing a font that does not have a design.
5. What length chain should I choose? For children 4-12 years of age, please order 14" (35 cm) chains. For teens and average sized adults wanting below collar bone length, please order 16" (40 cm). For mid-chest length, fuller necks, please order 18" (45 cm). For large people, or a longer necklace (just above breast) Please order longer 20: (50cm) chains. We offer extra long 22" silver chains as well! The chain length does not include the name plate.
6. Does ordering a double thickness nameplate really make a difference? The answer is YES. If you would like a strong nameplate that will last, please choose double thickness. Any name longer than 6 letters cannot be made in single thickness, and will be upgraded automatically. Be sure to use a metric ruler to view the thickness of your nameplate. In solid 14k gold, .4 mm is light and delicate, but if you are looking for strength, our .8 mm thickness will be well worth the additional cost.
In our solid 14k gold chains, the light chains are 1.1 grams of solid 14k gold. You will have a choice of 2.2 gram chains that are heavier and a bit wider.
If budget allows, we always suggest ordering double thickness in our nameplates.
7. Can you make special orders?Yes we do! Simply contact us with size, type of lettering, type of jewelry and material. We will let you know if we can make the special order item, the price and production time. The more details you send, the more accurate our help will be. If you order without contacting us, there will be an $8.00 special order charge if the name is not standard: has 2 capitals, signs or numbers.
8. Is payment secure on your internet site? Yes, absolutely. We have never had a problem with credit card fraud or misuse, stemming from Idan's many internet sites. We have a home office where only a small, secure staff of our family members have access to any information given on our internet site. If any problems do arise, we are always here to help.
9. Does Sterling Silver tarnish (change color)? Yes. Sterling silver, the highest quality used in jewelry, 925, does change color over time. This is called "tarnishing". If your skin type is acidic, the tarnishing can occur very quickly. Simply purchase any silver polish at your local supermarket. Your name necklace will be shiny new in no time. In some cases, a professional polish at a jewelry repair nearest you, will slow down the tarnishing process even more. You can ALWAYS post the items back to us for a professional repolishing as well. Hand made items may tarnish quicker than machine made jewelry. Just know that we are always here to help with any problems that may occur.
19.Do you discount for multiple orders? Our website prices 40% off of retail prices of jewelry stores in local malls nearest you. We do not discount of multiple purchases.
