Frequently Asked Questions
 
 

How do I measure for a properly sized “Personalized Name Bracelet”?

Proper sizing of your custom made name bracelet is very important so please read and follow the measuring instructions carefully in order to insure that you receive jewelry that fits properly.

 

1.  Determine the bracelet size you need by measuring your actual wrist size with a flexible tape measure.  You will need to measure snuggly around your wrist.  If you do not have a tape measure, you can use a ribbon instead by fitting the ribbon snuggly around your wrist, cut the ribbon to size, then measure the ribbon with a ruler.

 

2.         Toggle clasp bracelets - If your bracelet has a toggle clasp, add 1 ¼ inches to your actual wrist size for a close fitting bracelet or 1 ½ inches for a more loose fitting bracelet.

 

            Heart claw or traditional lobster clasp bracelets - If your bracelet has a heart claw or lobster clasp, add 1 inch to your actual wrist size for a close fitting bracelet or 1 ¼ inches for a more loose fitting bracelet.



What is your guarantee on the length of a "Personalized Name Bracelet"?

Your bracelet may vary from the size you order by up to 1/4 inch, depending on the design.  All personalized name bracelets are made as close as possible to the SIZE YOU ORDER (including the clasp).



How are your “One of a Kind” jewelry items measured?

At Margo Rask Designs, we measure our jewelry designs from end to end including the clasp.  Designs from our Trendsetting, Elegant Bridal and Formal, and Precious Baby and Little Girl lines are already made and sizes are listed along with a more detailed description for your viewing.  Be sure to look at the measurements provided and note your own measurements in order to select a design that is best suited for you!



What if I want to purchase something from the Margo Rask Designs online store but it is not the correct size for me?

If you find something on our website that you would like to order, but you need the size changed, please e-mail or call us with your request before making the purchase, this will enable us to verify that an adjustment can be made.
Please check the sizes given for each product before purchasing to avoid having to send it back because it doesn't fit.

 

Necklace, bracelet, and earring lengths are given in inches. When determining if a size is right for you keep in mind that larger beads and stones require more space, and therefore increased length is needed.

Does Margo Rask Designs have a catalog?

We are excited to offer our fabulous, one of a kind jewelry on our website: www.MargoRaskDesigns.com therefore we do not produce paper catalogs for our customers.  Keep in mind that all of the designed jewelry items on our website are one-of-a-kind, and we are constantly updating our inventory.



What does Margo Rask Designs recommend for jewelry care?

We recommend that you remove your Margo Rask Designs jewelry while cleaning, swimming or taking a shower/bath.  Chemicals used during these activities are hard on all jewelry and WILL damage silver.  In addition, you should always remove your jewelry before sleeping.  Movement during sleep causes stress on all moving parts.  Margo Rask Designs uses the strongest jewelry wire in the industry suitable for our bracelets and necklaces but with wear and tear, the wire does eventually need replacing.  Depending on your individual lifestyle and wear and tear on your bracelet, you should have your bracelet periodically restrung to prevent breakage or loss.  If you care for your jewelry properly, it will lengthen the period of time between maintenance re-stringing.  With average wear and tear the jewelry should last for a very long time when taken care of properly.  If you have further question, please contact us.



What is Gold Vermeil?

Gold Vermeil is usually 22 or 23kt Gold plated on Sterling Silver.



What does Gold Filled mean?

Gold-filled is usually 12kt Gold plated on Base Metal.



What is
Bali silver?

The
Bali silver is imported .925 silver and imported from Bali Indonesia.  Bali silver beads come in many intricate styles enhancing our fabulous jewelry designs.



What is Sterling silver?

Sterling silver is a silver alloy. Sterling silver contains 92.5% silver, with the remaining 7.5% being another metal, usually copper. The addition of the less costly metal - often called a base metal - serves to harden the resulting alloy so that the metal can be cast into shapes that it will retain with use.



What is Hill Tribe silver?

Hill Tribe silver also know as Thai silver, originates in northern Thailand where tribe members use traditional tribal methods passed down from generation to generation to make hand-crafted beads and pendants.  The silver content in Hill Tribe silver is typically 95-99%, even higher than sterling (92.5%).  Its high silver content makes the metal softer and therefore easier to shape into intricate designs.  As mentioned, these are hand-crafted and therefore no two pieces are identical.



What kinds of crystal does Margo Rask Designs use?

We mainly use Swarovski crystals because they have been the leading manufacturer of crystals since 1895.  Their products are considered to be top quality.  We also use fine quality Chinese crystal from time to time on our lesser priced items.  We always include a detailed item description on all of our jewelry designs so that you know exactly what you are purchasing, which in our case will always be top quality stones, beads, crystals and findings.
