Q: How do I care for a Name Plate?

A: Your custom name plate is made from Nickel Silver or Brass. It will require maintenance over time to keep it looking brand new.

NICKEL: If your nickel name plate begins to tarnish, use fine steel wool lightly over the top (be careful not to scratch the collar), use a jewelry polishing  pad for shine (optional), then lightly dab WD-40 or coconut oil on top.

BRASS: The gold coloring is known to tarnish, or appear dirty, due to chemical reaction caused by air or moisture. This may also cause your name plate to look worn out. If this occurs, simply use a soft cloth to wipe the tag, add Brass Polish and hand buff until you have it looking like new again.

Q: How do I care for the Super heavy Chain?

NICKEL: By washing first with warm water, using a metal cleaner for persistent blemishes, and then polishing, you will keep your nickel/chrome plating strong and lustrous for years to come

GOLD (Brass Plated) Be sure to store it away from water, and if it gets wet to dry immediately. You can clean it by gently wiping with ammonia and wash it off with warm water and quickly drying with a towel. Also you can use a brass cleaner that is designed to be used on brass-plated items. Rub it in with a soft cloth, and wash it off with warm water. Always go gently – don't clean too aggressively or you might remove the plated brass.

A: Yes we do. Please contact us to get your discount.

BILLING:

Q: I placed an order but the site said that my order was declined, but my bank records show I was still charged. Why?

A:If an order attempt is placed and your credit/debit card is declined for any reason other than insufficient funds the funds are “held” by your financial institution until the transaction in question is settled. Transactions are usually pending for a period of 3-5 business days (depends on the card issuer/ bank).

Q: My order will not go through, but I have the funds. Why?

A:In most cases if a transaction is declined (other then not enough funds) it is because your billing information you are entering does not match perfectly with your credit card. Please verify that the billing address you entered exactly matches the one associated with the credit card. If the credit card is still declined, you may want to call your credit card issuer and check to see if they support AVS filtering.
