Frequently Asked Questions
You Asked, We Answered
What is your jewellery made from?
18ct Gold & Rose Gold Vermeil - We predominantly produce our jewellery in 18ct Gold Vermeil. Vermeil consists of thicker layers of gold on sterling silver. Unlike other gold plating, standards dictate that the gold portion must be of a high quality and certain thickness. Therefore, if cared for correctly your vermeil jewellery will have long-lasting colour.
Sterling Silver - Sterling silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure Silver and 7.5% Copper (That's why you see the 925 mark on these designs). For even more protection against tarnishing, our team plates the silver with an anti-tarnish solution and rhodium. All Tada & Toy’s sterling-silver pieces are coated with anti-tarnish solution and rhodium plated. This provides an extremely tough and protective layer against tarnishing for durability.
9karat & 18karat Solid Gold - Solid gold is an extremely durable material that does not easily oxidise or discolour. Our solid gold alloy is mixed with Copper, Zinc and Silver - all of which add to the characteristics of the alloy such as its soft gold hue and high durability. We recommend using warm water with a soft cloth or toothbrush to maintain the gold's original shine. Always avoid using any abrasive jewellery cleaners that may contain damaging chemicals or polishing agents.
How long does your Gold Vermeil plating last for?
Over time, plated gold vermeil jewellery can fade. This varies depending on how you care for your Tada & Toy jewellery. If you follow our care instructions closely, plating can last for a very long time, over 5 years at least!
To best care for your piece, be sure to store gold vermeil in an airtight container or a lined jewellery bag - and remove before showering, exercising or applying lotions. To clean vermeil, gently buff the metal with a soft and dry cotton or microfiber cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners that can strip the gold finish.

How does Preorder work?
Payment will be taken at the point of purchase online. The estimated date of delivery for the preorder is stated on the product page. Preorder enables you to order items that are out of stock and be the first to receive them when they arrive back in.
It says out of stock on the website, is this definitely out of stock?

Do you have anything for cartilage and inner piercings?
