Jewelry Wear & Care

Below you will find our most frequently asked questions. If you cannot find the answer you are looking for, feel free to send us an email.

Is ORYS jewelry affected by showering or swimming?

If your ORYS jewelry is made entirely of 14K gold, you don’t need to take them off to shower or swim unless you want to. If your jewelry contains non-metal components, like our Cord Bracelet, we advise you to avoid getting it wet to preserve its color and longevity. 

For all our jewelry we advise that you avoid having them come into direct contact with perfumes or cosmetics until they are dry on the skin. This reduces the chance that any alcohol or other chemicals do not cause discoloration to the gold.

Can I wear my jewelry while exercising?

It is best to remove jewelry during workouts to prevent scratches, bending, or loosening of the stones.

What kind of earring back comes with your studs?

We offer our ORYS butterfly back. Designed for increased comfort and support. 

How long are the earring posts?

Our stud earrings have 8mm posts. 

Can I wear ORYS earrings anywhere on the ear?

Our earrings were designed with the earlobe in mind. However if you have a particular request for an earring designed for a different location, drop us a line and we will add it to our discussions for our next product drop.

How do I put the stud earrings on?

Gently insert the post of the earring through your ear piercing, then slide the backing onto the post until it feels secure. Make sure it is snug, but not too tight, so your earrings sit comfortably all day.

How do I put the hoop earrings on?

To wear your ORYS hoops, gently open the hinge, guide the post through your ear piercing, and secure it until you hear or feel it click into place. Make sure the closure feels firm so your hoops stay comfortable and secure all day.

How long is the ORYS necklace?

The ORYS pendant comes with a 14K gold chain featuring three jump rings, so you can wear it at 16", 18", or 20" lengths. Simply hook the clasp into the jump ring that gives you your preferred length for the perfect look and fit.

What is the diameter of the Cord bracelet?

Need answer

How long is the ORYS chain bracelet?

The ORYS chain bracelet features a fixed horizontal cross and three jump rings to adjust the length to 6", 7", or 8". Open the clasp and choose the jump ring that fits your wrist best. 

How do I take care of my ORYS jewelry?

Our jewelry is made to be worn everyday, but as with all precious things, do treat it with care and love. When not being worn you can keep it in the jewelry box that it comes with, or if you are out and about all ORYS jewelry comes with a versatile travel pouch that fits the insert of the keepsake box for something more portable. 

Is your 14K white gold rhodium plated?

Yes! White gold naturally has a slightly warm tone, so we plate it with rhodium, a naturally bright, durable metal. This gives your jewelry a brilliant, reflective finish while protecting it from scratches and tarnish.

Does the rhodium need to be replaced?

Over time, rhodium plating can wear down with regular use. We recommend having it professionally replated every 1–2 years to restore its bright finish and keep it looking like new.
