Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bellamare Jewelry real gold?

Yes — every piece is crafted from solid 18K gold, never plated or filled. Each design is made to last a lifetime with proper care.

What’s the difference between 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K gold?

The “K” stands for karat, which measures gold purity — how much pure gold is in the metal. In general, the higher the karat, the softer and more malleable the gold becomes.

10K gold contains 41.7% pure gold and has a light tone.
14K gold contains 58.3% pure gold with a soft golden color.
18K gold contains 75% pure gold and offers a rich, radiant hue — the hallmark of Bellamare Jewelry.
22K gold contains 91.7% pure gold with a deep yellow tone.
24K gold contains 99.9% pure gold — the purest form, vibrant in color but naturally soft.

Bellamare Jewelry is crafted exclusively from solid 18K gold, chosen for its perfect balance of brilliance, strength, and timeless luxury.

Are your pieces handmade?

Yes. Each Bellamare piece is handmade to order, often based on custom measurements. Every item is individually crafted with precision and care.

Do you accept returns or exchanges?

As a small business creating made-to-order jewelry, we currently do not accept returns or exchanges. However, if you experience any issues, please contact us immediately upon receiving your package at bellamarejewelry@gmail.com — we’ll always do our best to help.

How should I care for my 18K gold jewelry?

Gold is made to last, but it deserves gentle care. Avoid exposure to chemicals, perfumes, and impact. Store each piece separately in its pouch or box to prevent scratches. With proper care, your Bellamare Jewelry will remain as timeless as the day it was made.

Can I shower or swim with my jewelry?

While 18K gold doesn’t tarnish, we recommend removing your jewelry before swimming, showering, or applying products to preserve its polish and shine.

How long will my order take to ship?

Please expect at least 2–3 weeks for production before shipping, as each piece is handmade to order. We’ll always do our best to communicate timing and updates with you throughout the process.
