Who pays the duty?

You do. Any import duty that applies to your order is collected at checkout and then remitted to US Customs via our courier. It’s not included in product prices; it appears as its own line at checkout.

Will I have to pay anything on delivery?

No. Because the duty is prepaid at checkout, there shouldn’t be any fees requested by the courier on delivery.

How will the duty be shown?

As a separate line at checkout: “Import duty & processing (USA)”.

How is duty calculated?

According to US customs rules based on the value and product category of the goods (HS code). The total is shown at checkout before you pay.

Are duties refundable if I return an item?

Typically no. Import duties are paid to US Customs and are usually non-refundable. We’ll refund the product price once your return is received in original condition.

When will USA shipping resume?

Very soon. We’ll update this page and the site banner once it’s live.

All of our jewellery is lovingly handcrafted using precious metals.

We start with a solid sterling silver base, then for our gold pieces, we apply a thick layer of 18ct gold or rose gold vermeil (3 microns, to be precise!). This makes our pieces both beautiful and built to last — little heirlooms in the making.

Every charm is made with care so you can wear it and love it for years to come.

Want to learn more about caring for your jewellery? Check out our Jewellery Care Guide.

All our jewellery is nickel-free and perfect for everyday wear.

A jump ring is a ring that slides on to a neck chain while a clip-on fastening is designed for use on a chain charm bracelet or charm carrier. We use either 6mm oval jump rings, or 5mm round ones.

We use both 6mm oval and 5 mm round jump rings depending on the style of the charm in question. Both will fit over the end of most chains.  We can vary this to order if you want to match a specific size or chain.

We apply a oxidising agent to ‘antique’ the surface of many of our designs to enhance the design and emphasise details and facial features. This is then removed, and each piece is hand polished to a shiny finish, and to remove any residue.

This is a common occurrence caused by a reaction between your skin and the metal alloys used in silver jewellery. Most sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver mixed with 7.5% other metals like copper, which can oxidize when exposed to moisture, sweat, or certain skincare products. The green residue is a harmless copper compound.

Is the green mark harmful?
No, the green mark is not harmful and can be easily washed off. It’s a natural reaction and does not indicate poor quality jewellery.

Why is it more noticeable under rings?
Sweat tends to accumulate under rings, creating a moist environment that accelerates the reaction between your skin and the copper in the silver alloy. Rings are also in constant contact with your skin, which increases the chances of residue forming.

How can I prevent green marks from silver jewellery?
Here are some practical tips:

• Keep your jewellery dry: Remove rings before washing your hands, swimming, or exercising to minimize exposure to moisture and sweat.
• Apply products first: Ensure skincare products, lotions, and perfumes are fully absorbed before putting on your jewellery.
• Clean your jewellery regularly: Wipe your silver pieces with a soft cloth after wearing them to remove any buildup of moisture or residue.
• Use a jewellery sealant: Applying a clear protective coating to the inside of rings can create a barrier between your skin and the metal.
• Opt for rhodium-plated silver: Rhodium plating provides an additional layer of protection, reducing oxidation and tarnish.

What’s the best way to care for silver jewellery?

• Store it in a dry, airtight container or anti-tarnish pouch when not in use.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water, chlorine, or chemicals.
• Polish regularly with a soft cloth or a silver polishing cloth to maintain shine and prevent tarnish.
• For heavily tarnished pieces, use a mild silver cleaner, but avoid abrasive materials.

Does everyone experience green marks from silver jewellery?
Not everyone will experience this reaction. Factors like body chemistry, the environment, and how often the jewellery is worn can all influence whether or not a green mark appears.

Yes, we can offer custom finishes with some collections. Please email help@licensedtocharm.com your request and we will try to accommodate it.

Different chain lengths may be available. Please email your request and we will try to accommodate it.
