Frequently asked questions
Below you will find an overview of all frequently asked questions at Names4ever, and you can use the menu on the left to navigate to other topics.
Materials:
Do you sell real silver / gold?
The Names4ever collection is inspected in accordance with the Dutch Hallmarking Act. All gold jewellery is made of 14ct gold and therefore carries the 585 hallmark. The silver jewellery is made of sterling silver and carries the 925 hallmark.
The purpose of the Hallmarking Act is to protect consumers against deception and to protect businesses against fraud and unfair competition. That is why all items made of precious metal must be hallmarked before they are offered for sale.
Is the jewellery nickel-free?
Yes, all our jewellery is nickel-free ! That is good news if you have a nickel allergy. A nickel allergy often shows itself as red, itchy patches. Very unpleasant if you suffer from it. Nickel is commonly found in jewellery such as earrings, buckles, piercings and also necklaces. Nickel is NOT a precious metal and is therefore certainly not used by us.
Why does my silver turn black?
Real silver tarnishes! So this is a good sign that your jewellery is made of real silver. It is caused by exposure to the open air (oxidation). Silver jewellery also tarnishes more quickly through contact with, for example, sweat, perfume, (body lotion and hand cream) and cleaning products. It can be related to the pH value of your skin, which is slightly more acidic in some people than in others. Medication or even your general health can also influence how quickly silver turns black.
Some silver jewellery is rhodium plated or gold plated. This makes a reaction less likely to occur, so these pieces tarnish less quickly. However, this process gives the silver more of a steel-like colour. As we do not find this attractive, we have chosen not to treat our jewellery with rhodium.
How do I make my silver beautiful / clean again?
Silver turns black/ brown. That is almost impossible to prevent. Of course, you can get your silver jewellery beautifully shiny again. For example, you could buy a silver polishing cloth from a jeweller. The best option is a treated flannel cloth. By rubbing your silver jewellery with this cloth, you remove the tarnish, restoring your jewellery's beautiful shine and making it sparkle again.

Can I change or cancel my order?
Cancellation is only possible if the order has not yet gone into production. We usually put orders into production one day after receiving them. If you wish to cancel, we recommend contacting us straight away. Once the order has gone into production, cancellation is no longer possible. All name jewellery is personal and made especially for the person who ordered it. That is why cancellation is unfortunately no longer possible once the production process has started. Once the cancellation has been processed, we will of course arrange a refund.

Delivery:
How long will it take for my jewellery to arrive?
You can expect your jewellery to arrive from approximately 5 working days after placing your order. As soon as you place an order, your jewellery goes into production.

As soon as we have packed everything and the postal service has collected it from us, you will receive an e-mail from us confirming that your order has been dispatched. It then generally takes another 1 to 2 working days before the jewellery you ordered is delivered to you.
Can I have my order delivered to a different address than the billing address?
Would you like to receive your order at a different address? That is no problem at all for us. You can specify the delivery address in the first step of the checkout. Under delivery address, you can tick the box to have the parcel delivered to a different address.

We will then send you a returns form. On this form, you can state your details, the order number and the reason for the return.

Do I have to pay postage when I return my jewellery?
If the mistake was ours, returns are accepted. This means that we will also cover the return costs. We do apply a standard reimbursement of €2,50 in the Netherlands and €4,00 from Belgium.
