Materials and gold plating

What are your pieces made of?

925 sterling silver with 18k gold plating, set with cubic zirconia. Zahra has no stones. Read more on our Materials page.

Is 18k gold plating the same as solid 18k?

No. Our pieces are 925 sterling silver with a thin 18k gold plating on the surface. Plating wears gradually with time and friction; see our care guide.

Is cubic zirconia a real stone?

It is a real crystal, made in a lab rather than mined, and cut to catch the light. All our clear stones are cubic zirconia.

Are your pieces water-resistant?

Yes, the 18k gold plating is water-resistant. We still recommend taking your pieces off before showering, swimming in the sea or the pool, exercising and sleeping: salt, chlorine and cosmetics wear the plating faster. See our Care guide.

How long does gold plating last?

The plating is resistant to colour change, and good care helps it keep its warmth for longer. Like all gold plating, it wears gradually with time and friction, depending on how often and how you wear a piece. We do not offer a guarantee on the colour of the plating.

Are your pieces nickel-free and hypoallergenic?

Yes. Our pieces are nickel-free and hypoallergenic. If you have a specific metal allergy, please write to info@azharjewels.com before buying, and we will share the supplier information we have for the piece you like.

Where is Azhar from?

Azhar is Italian design. Orders are shipped from Spain, and the business is registered in Malta.

Ring sizes

How do I find my ring size?

Follow our Size guide: you only need a strip of paper and a ruler. Our sized rings use US sizes 5 to 9, depending on the model.

Are your rings adjustable?

Aura, Petal No. 1 and Zahra are adjustable. Most other rings come in specific US sizes, listed on each product page. Alma has a fixed size and is not adjustable.

Do hand chains come in sizes?

No, hand chains are one size.

What if the size is wrong?

You have 14 days to change your mind. To change the size, withdraw from your order and place a new one in the size you need. Return shipping is paid by the customer. See Returns and withdrawal.

Shipping

Where do you ship?

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping is free across the EU, islands included, when your pieces come to €60 or more after discounts, and always free to mainland Spain. Below €60 it depends on the destination: the rate for each zone is on our Shipping page. The bag shows how far you are from free shipping: shipping is calculated at checkout and shown before you pay.

How long does delivery take?

We hand your order to the carrier within 1–2 business days; orders paid after 2 pm Madrid time, or at the weekend, count from the next business day. Delivery then usually takes 1–3 business days in Spain, 3–6 to Italy and Malta and 3–8 to the rest of the EU. See Shipping.
