Help! I don't know my ring size.

For ring sizing, we recommend getting professionally sized by a local jeweller in your area.

It is worth noting your ring size can fluctuate and/or vary depending on on several factors, such as temperature, time of day, and other individual finger characteristics.

Please note an incorrect ring size is not eligible for returns. GEO By Tiana is not responsible for incorrect ring/jewelry sizing.

What does exclusive batches mean?

Each of our jewelry collections and pieces are made in limited quantities. Once the specific style sells out, it is gone forever - so be sure to snag those pieces you've been eyeing!

How can I order a custom size?

For custom sizing, we ask that you contact us directly with your size and jewelry selection, so that we can make the perfect fit for you.

Can I get my jewelry wet?

While the best practice is to generally avoid contact with water/chemicals, it also depends on your skin's PH, the water quality, as well as the jewelry material.

Sterling Silver and 14K Gold-Filled: Generally safe to wear in the water. Store alone, always rinse with clean water if there is contact with chemicals (chlorine, lotions, perfumes...), and pat dry. It is natural for these materials to appear tarnished with time, which is generally easily removed with a jewelry cleaning cloth.

Pearls: The colour of pearls, including freshwater pearls, can be affected by water and/or specifically chlorine + other chemicals. Be sure to rinse with clean water and pat dry if coming in contact with chemicals etc.

18K Gold Plated Stainless Steel: Generally water and tarnish resistant. Small findings (jump rings, clasps, etc.) can show small signs of wear/tarnishing over extended periods of time.

Beaded Bracelets: All depends on the stone(s) used in your bracelet. For example, some opals and quartz can be damaged and lose their colour/quality by coming in contact with water. Other stones, such as Tiger's Eye, are safe to wear in clean water. Depending on their hardness and other factors, stones will react differently to water and chemicals. We recommend researching your specific stone before getting it wet to ensure its durability. The general rule of thumb is to avoid getting any of your jewelry wet.

What is slow living/slow-made jewelry?

For us, slow living means cultivating our value of intentionality into our work culture. We believe this is key to creating our own definition of what work should look/feel like - and it is important that we take the time to create high-quality, long-lasting, beautiful jewelry.

With every order made, GEO By Tiana strives to create a culture that goes against the general rules of high-stress, low-reward work systems, and instead focuses on a balance that allows for freedom, enjoyment and fulfillment in what we do.

Tips for Caring for Your Jewelry

AVOID PERFUMES AND OTHER CHEMICALS

To best protect your jewels and avoid any tarnishing, avoid spraying perfumes and other chemical products (ex. hair products, skin creams, sprays, etc.) directly onto the areas surrounding your jewelry. We recommend applying your perfumes/products first, waiting for the area to dry, then proceeding to wear your favourite GEO By Tiana pieces.

STORE SAFELY

When you aren't wearing your GEO By Tiana pieces, store them in a sealed bag or in your own secure jewelry box as preferred. This helps avoid the jewelry from coming into contact with moisture, rough surfaces and chemicals. We also recommend storing each piece separately.

LIMIT CONTACT WITH WATER

Avoiding direct contact with water (ocean, pool, shower, etc.) is the best practice for maintaining your jewelry. This generally goes for all materials, including those deemed water-resistant, such as 925 Sterling Silver and 14K Gold-Filled. Lastly, always remember to dry your jewelry off after coming in contact with water. For the safest keeping, the general rule of thumb for jewelry of all metals and stones is to avoid contact with any water and/or chemicals.
