FAQ

Saratoga Jewels only uses high-quality recycled metals that are not coated or plated with other materials therefore they will naturally darken with time. Many of my pieces are intentionally darkened to enhance the details of the piece. Please refer to the Jewelry Care Guide for tips on keeping your pieces looking like new.

All jewelry is handmade by Julie in her studio located just outside of Saratoga Springs, NY.

The Saratoga Jewels studio is closed to the public but if you are in the Saratoga Springs, NY area you can stop into N. Fox Jewelers. They are located at 404 Broadway and carry a wide selection of Saratoga Jewels. You might even meet Julie as she works there several days a week.

Saratoga Jewels works with sterling silver, gold, gold-filled, brass, bronze, and copper. All metals used are nickel free.

It is sterling silver that is made from recycled metal rather than newly mined ore making it a more eco-friendly choice.

Most people who have a metal allergy are allergic to nickel. All metals used by Saratoga Jewels are nickel free.
