Questions
What metals does Kelly Herd Jewelry use?
We use .925 sterling silver and 14K/18K gold alloys. Gold options include yellow, white, and rose gold with upgrade options available.
How should I care for my jewelry?
Clean with a polishing cloth and warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Store in a dry place to maintain the rhodium-plated finish on silver pieces.
Do you use real diamonds?
We use simulated diamonds in silver jewelry and conflict-free natural diamonds in gold pieces, along with Swarovski crystals and natural gemstones.
Can I get custom jewelry?
Yes, we specialize in custom designs. Contact us directly to discuss creating personalized pieces for engagements, memorials, or special occasions.
What does karat mean in gold jewelry?
Karat indicates gold purity: 14K (58.5% pure) or 18K (75% pure). Higher karat means less alloy content for richer color and quality.
Are your silver pieces tarnish-resistant?
All sterling silver jewelry features rhodium or platinum plating to prevent tarnishing and maintain lasting luster.
