The perfect fit is essential to getting the most out of your jewellery. We always recommend having your ring size measured by a professional. If you are unable to visit our Atelier in Vienna, please consult a jeweller close to you. Alternatively, we will gladly send you a ring sizing tool. For further information, please visit the sizing section

Choosing a chain length depends largely on your own preference. Generally, smaller pendants suit slimmer and shorter chains, while larger pendants are enhanced by thicker, longer chains. Visit our sizing section for more advice and information

Katie g. Jewellery is run from our Atelier in Vienna and as a small business, we unfortunately cannot offer free shipping. Our shipment costs exist solely to cover our postage expenses. We strongly encourage our clients to be fully aware of their sizing to avoid preventable returns. Please visit our dedicated shipping & returns section for more information or get in touch with us if you need any help.

Most of our silver pieces are available in an oxidised black finish that will naturally change with time. At Katie g. Jewellery we celebrate these changes as unique characteristics, but we are also happy to re-blacken your piece free of charge in our Vienna Atelier. While the finish can always be refreshed, many of our customers welcome the ‘used’ appearance of their piece. For more information, please visit our patina section.

The speed of this process will vary depending on your lifestyle.

We encourage you to embrace this natural process as it personalises your jewellery. If you would like to restore your piece, drop by our Atelier for a complimentary re-coating.
