Last Updated: October 26, 2026
At Cindy Borders Jewelry, each piece reflects the individual characteristics of its materials and the details of its handcrafted design. Please review the following information before making a purchase.
Natural Gemstones and Pearls
Gemstones and pearls are natural materials with individual characteristics. Variations in color, pattern, shape, size, clarity, inclusions, and luster are part of their natural beauty.
Even stones and pearls of the same variety may differ in appearance. These variations are normal and contribute to the individuality of each piece.
Some gemstones and pearls may be treated, dyed, enhanced, cultured, or otherwise modified. We may not always have complete information about the treatments or enhancements applied to the materials used in our designs.
We make reasonable efforts to include available material and treatment information in our product descriptions. However, we cannot guarantee that complete treatment histories or additional details will be available to us. We strive to provide accurate descriptions based on the information available at the time of listing.
Handcrafted Details
Our jewelry is designed and handcrafted with attention to detail. Because pieces are formed and finished by hand, slight variations in shape, finish, dimensions, or other details may occur.
These individual characteristics are part of the handmade process and do not necessarily indicate a flaw.
Product Photography and Screen Variations
We make reasonable efforts to present our products accurately through descriptions and photographs.
However, product appearance may vary depending on your screen or device. Natural gemstones and pearls vary in color, shape, size, clarity, and luster, while handcrafted metalwork may show subtle individual differences.
Lighting, photography, and device settings can affect how colors and finishes appear. We cannot guarantee that the colors or appearance shown on your screen will exactly match the jewelry you receive.
Made-to-Order and One-of-a-Kind Pieces
Many of our designs are handmade to order, while others feature unique or one-of-a-kind gemstones and pearls.
When a piece is made to order, it may have slight individual variations while retaining the essential design and characteristics described in its listing.
For one-of-a-kind jewelry, the specific stone or pearl shown in the product photographs may be the individual material used in the finished piece. Please review the product photographs and description carefully before purchasing.
If you have questions about a particular stone, pearl, dimension, or finish, please contact us before placing your order.
Jewelry Care
With a little care, your jewelry can be enjoyed for years to come. Follow these recommendations to help preserve the appearance and condition of your pieces:
Put Your Jewelry On Last: Apply lotions, perfume, and hairspray before putting on your jewelry.
Keep Your Jewelry Dry: Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.
Avoid Chemicals: Avoid unnecessary exposure to household chemicals, cleaning products, and other substances that may damage metals or gemstones.
Store Your Jewelry Flat: When not wearing your jewelry, store it flat in a sealed plastic bag to help protect the metals and reduce oxidation.
Avoid Storing Jewelry With Paper: Do not store your jewelry in or around paper, including paper boxes, cotton batting, tags, or cards. Paper contains acids that can interact unfavorably with metals.
Handle Delicate Pieces With Care: Handle delicate and hand-formed pieces gently. Avoid bending or putting pressure on these designs when wearing, storing, or traveling with them.
Follow Material-Specific Care Recommendations: Some gemstones, pearls, metal finishes, and jewelry constructions require specific care. Please contact us if you need guidance about caring for a particular piece.
Hand-Formed Circle Earrings and Hoops
Our signature Circle Earrings and many of our other designs are hand-formed. Although designed for wear, these pieces may bend or change shape if subjected to pressure, twisting, or rough handling.
Handle these earrings gently when putting them on, removing them, storing them, or traveling with them. Avoid pulling, twisting, or putting pressure on these designs to help preserve their original shape.
Damage caused by bending, impact, or improper handling is not necessarily a manufacturing defect.
Product Information and Questions
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, photographs, and other listing information are accurate.
If you need clarification about a product's materials, dimensions, finish, or care requirements, please contact Cindy Borders Jewelry before purchasing.
We are happy to provide additional information when available so you can make an informed decision.
