Third-party trademarks and materials remain the property of their respective owners.

3. Product Information, Accuracy & Natural Variations

Gemz & Jewelz strives to provide accurate product photographs, descriptions, measurements, pricing, and material information.

Customers should be aware that:

Product colors may appear slightly different depending on lighting, photography, and screen settings.
Photographs may be enlarged to display jewelry details.

Material Authenticity

Gemz & Jewelz offers jewelry made from materials including sterling silver, stainless steel, solid gold, gold-plated metals, natural jade, and other gemstones.

Material descriptions apply to the specific product listed.

Gold-plated jewelry is not represented as solid gold unless explicitly identified as such.

Any claims concerning gemstone authenticity, grading, or treatment apply as specifically stated in the product description or accompanying documentation.

Natural material variations do not automatically constitute manufacturing defects. However, undisclosed damage, inaccurate descriptions, and defective products remain subject to applicable consumer protections.

4. Jewelry Care, Longevity & Material Disclosures

Jewelry longevity depends on material composition, frequency of wear, storage, environmental exposure, and proper maintenance.

A. Gold-Plated Jewelry

Gold-plated jewelry features a layer of gold applied over another material.

Gold plating may gradually fade, wear, or change in appearance over time.

Exposure to moisture, perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, friction, and individual body chemistry may affect the longevity of plating.

The lifespan of gold plating cannot be guaranteed indefinitely.

Normal plating deterioration from regular use is not generally considered a manufacturing defect.

B. Sterling Silver Jewelry

Sterling silver contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals.

Sterling silver may naturally tarnish when exposed to air, moisture, sulfur-containing substances, and certain chemicals.

Tarnishing is a natural chemical reaction and does not necessarily indicate defective or poor-quality jewelry.

Appropriate cleaning and storage may help restore and preserve its appearance.

Normal tarnishing, minor scratches, and ordinary cosmetic wear are not generally considered manufacturing defects.

C. Stainless Steel Jewelry

Stainless steel is selected for its durability and resistance to everyday corrosion and tarnishing.

However, stainless steel is not completely immune to damage or changes in appearance.

Exposure to harsh chemicals, abrasive surfaces, excessive friction, and improper care may affect its condition.

Gold-colored stainless steel jewelry may feature a plated or coated finish that can experience gradual wear.

Eligible stainless steel jewelry is covered by the Gemz & Jewelz One-Year Limited Warranty described in Section 5.

D. Natural Jade & Gemstones

Natural jade and gemstones may display variations in color, texture, transparency, and natural inclusions.

These characteristics are part of the uniqueness of natural materials and do not automatically indicate defects.

Natural gemstones can crack, chip, or break when dropped, struck, or exposed to excessive pressure.

Customers should avoid harsh cleaning chemicals, impacts, and sudden temperature changes.

Damage caused by accidental impact or improper handling is not generally considered a manufacturing defect.

E. Allergic Reactions & Skin Sensitivities

Gemz & Jewelz offers jewelry made from various metals and materials, including certain products described as hypoallergenic.

Hypoallergenic does not mean allergy-proof.

Individual skin sensitivities vary, and some customers may experience irritation or allergic reactions to certain metals, alloys, coatings, or jewelry components.

Customers with known sensitivities are encouraged to review product materials before purchasing.

If irritation occurs, discontinue wearing the jewelry.

Gemz & Jewelz does not guarantee that every product will be suitable for every individual's skin.

Nothing in this disclosure excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

F. General Jewelry Care Recommendations

To help maintain jewelry appearance and longevity:

Store jewelry in a clean, dry environment.
Avoid unnecessary exposure to perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals.
Remove jewelry before activities involving excessive impact or friction.
Avoid abrasive cleaning products.
Clean jewelry using methods appropriate for its material.
Store individual pieces separately to reduce scratches and tangling.

Normal wear and changes in appearance may occur over time, even with proper care.
