Product Care

How do I take care of my jewelry?

A little love goes a long way! When not wearing your jewelry, store it in a protective case or pouch to maintain sheen. We recommend removing your jewelry when applying scents, lotions and sprays and putting it on last before heading out the door. Finally, a simple clean is one of the best ways to love your jewelry:

1. Mix a few drops of detergent-free soap with warm water.

2. One piece at a time, soak your jewelry.

3. Use a very soft brush to lightly clean each piece.

4. Rinse with care (and don’t drop it down the drain – We’ve been there!)

5. Lightly dry the jewelry with a lint-free cloth or paper towel. 

I've followed the instructions and tried cleaning my jewelry at home. My jewelry still lacks luster. What do I do?

Not to worry. Regular wear and some times can cause that to happen. As long as your Verlas Jewelry is under Verlas Care, we’ll restore your piece to perfection free of charge. Shipping charges apply. Contact Client Care for repair quotes if your jewelry is not under Verlas Care. 

Sizing

What’s my ring size?

To find your perfect fit, please check our ring sizing guide here. In our experience, if you’re a half size, it’s best to order a size up. For example, if you’re between 6 and 7, go with 7. If you need a hand determining your best fit, we're always here to help!

I’ve ordered the wrong size.

You can return your ring and repurchase the correct size! We will replace the ring upon receiving the return. If it is after 30 days but within 60 days, you can return your ring for Verlas Credits and reorder the right size. (Shipping charges may apply).

Can I have my ring resized after 60 days from purchase?

Visit our Verlas Care page for more info.

Reach out to  Client Care, and we’d be happy to help. Verlas Care costs depend on the price tier of your jewelry as follows:

$501 - $1000 ------ Verlas Care = $149

$1001- $2000 ------ Verlas Care = $199

What happens to the remainder of my Verlas Care once I’ve completed a Buy-Back or an Upgrade?

Every unique warranty under Verlas Care corresponds to a specific product, and unfortunately can’t be transferred over to other products. When you upgrade your jewelry, you must purchase new Verlas Care for your Upgraded jewelry. When Verlas carries out a Buy-Back, it purchases the jewelry as well as its Verlas Care.

Why should I purchase Verlas Care?

Verlas Care must be purchased to take advantage of Verlas’ whole breadth of services, including Buy-Backs, Upgrades, and complimentary repairs. However, if your product is not covered under Verlas Care, you can still reach out with repair-related requests for a fee (under the same conditions as mentioned under Repairs).

What repairs are covered under Verlas Care?*

-Industrial Jewelry Cleaning

-Fixing Scratches on Metal

-Metal Polishing 

-Tightening Loose Prongs / Loose Diamonds

-Ring Resizing 

-Fixing Broken/Entangled Chains 

-Tightening Loose Push-Backs for Earrings

-Removing, Adding or Changing Engraving

-Repairing Bracelet/Necklace Hooks 

*If you’re not covered under Verlas Care, contact Client Care to get quotes for repairs.

Do any repairs require additional costs?

If your jewelry is damaged, is missing parts such as diamonds, or isn’t covered under Verlas Care, contact Client Care, and we’ll send an estimate for the services you’re interested in. Shipping is additional.

Upgrades

Visit our Upgrades page for more info.

What is the Upgrade Program?

You can upgrade Verlas jewelry of any value for another piece from Verlas that is 50% or higher in value of the original jewelry. (Example: If your original Verlas jewelry costs $1000, your new piece should be at least $1500 or more). Upgraded jewelry is subject to inspection. 

How can I send my jewelry for an Upgrade?

If your jewelry is under Verlas Care, please get in touch with Client Care so we can start the process, help you generate a shipping label, and detail how to add insurance to your shipment.

Is shipping free? 

We factor the cost of shipping into the Upgrade value of your item so you don’t have to pay for shipping separately. 

Does my Verlas jewelry qualify for an Upgrade?

You’re all set, as long as: 

1. Your jewelry was purchased from Verlas

2. Your jewelry is still under Verlas Care  

3. You’ve included the Diamond Grading report

4. Your jewelry hasn’t been altered, damaged, or tampered with 

What jewelry is not eligible for Upgrade?

Jewelry will be cross-referenced with our records, examined by our Master Goldsmith to verify diamonds, and inspected by a gemologist to verify certificates.
Unfortunately, we can’t accept jewelry that:

1. Was not purchased from Verlas

2. Is not under Verlas Care

3. Does not include the Diamond Grading report

4. Has been altered or is missing parts

How much credit will I get for my Upgrade?

You’ll receive 100% credit for the original purchase value if your piece is in perfect order. 

Is shipping and handling included?

In order to give you the absolute best Upgrade value for your Verlas jewelry, we ask that you cover shipping and handling costs for your Upgrade.

Can I upgrade my engraved pieces?

Absolutely – as long as they were purchased from and engraved by Verlas. We’re unable to accept items engraved by a third party. 

Is old jewelry that has been Upgraded re-sold by Verlas?

Most definitely not! We would never re-sell used jewelry. Every piece we offer is completely new, hand-perfected, and made from the best of the best. 

Can I use partial Verlas jewelry, like my stone or band, toward an Upgrade?

We will upgrade diamonds, only as long as the new jewelry is 50% higher in value than the original product.

I don't have Verlas Care, how can I still apply for an Upgrade?

You have 60 days from the purchase of your jewelry to decide whether or not you'd like to add Verlas Care to it. For more details, see our Warranties section. If you've crossed the 60 day period, we're sorry to inform you that your jewelry is no longer eligible for Verlas Care, and hence, Upgrades.

What if my jewelry gets lost?

If you think your shipment may have been lost, contact Client Care immediately. 

When will my Upgrade credit be initiated?

As soon as we receive your returned jewelry, our QC team will require around 2 business days to confirm that everything has been received in perfect order. If you agree to proceed, you will then receive Verlas credit for your jewelry.

What’s the difference between Upgrades and Buy-Backs?

Both of these services require warranties, and ask that you send your Verlas pieces back to us (ideally in perfect order). The difference is that with an Upgrade, it’s like you’re making an exchange for a higher-value piece (and applying the exchange value towards the higher-value piece). Buy-Backs are more like selling existing pieces back to Verlas, in exchange for Verlas credit.

At Verlas, we Buy-Back your jewelry in perfect condition for *full retail value, minus 35%. For full transparency, we’ve chosen a fixed fee so you’re clear on exactly what’s deducted, and know that you’ll still be getting top value at Verlas. This is deduction is used to cover labor costs and other unrecoverable costs for the service.

damaged. 

Does my Verlas jewelry qualify for Buy-Back?

Most definitely not! We would never re-sell Buy-Back jewelry. Every piece we offer is completely new, hand-perfected, and made from the best of the best. 

Will Verlas Buy-Back my engraved pieces?

Why is my Verlas jewelry appearing tarnished or smelling of metal after only a few wears?

It's common for some chemical/s from your perfume, hair-product, deodorant, body lotion etc. that come in contact with your jewelry to cause a reaction. We recommend you put on ANY jewelry item right at the end, after getting ready for your day or dressing up for a special occasion. Chemicals in products can tarnish your jewelry immediately or slowly over time. Please reach out to care@verlas.com for further assistance.
