We get new charms monthly. However, some charms are unique and therefore may not be restocked.
No appointments necessary for our Charm Bar! All guests will be served on a first come, first serve basis. PLEASE NOTE: on weekends, we stop taking walk-ins at 4:30 to allow every guest ample time to finish making their piece before close.
It depends! Our Charm Bar is on a first come first serve basis and so you may or may not have to wait to make your custom jewelry. Weekends are the most popular time to visit, (especially Saturday) so there may be a wait if you plan to come on a weekend.
Everything is ala carte and individually priced so the price is in your control. Charms start at $5 and chains at $20, and we also give you a clipboard to keep track of prices as you go.
What material is our jewelry made from?
Our jewelry collection consists of 18k gold-filled, gold-plated, sterling silver, and rhodium plated pieces.
What is the difference between your gold options?
The main difference between our gold-filled and gold-plated jewelry is actually the amount of gold in the jewelry piece. The outer layer of gold in gold-filled jewelry is much thicker than on gold plated pieces, making it more durable and long-lasting than gold-plated jewelry.
Why carry gold-filled jewelry?
Let’s be honest, jewelry can get expensive— we wanted to create a jewelry bar experience for all different price points. We know purchasing a solid gold necklace is not in everyone’s budget, so we wanted to offer options for everyone and gold-filled pieces are very affordable.
Will my jewelry tarnish?
Let’s talk gold— solid gold jewelry is the only metal that will never tarnish. Unlike solid gold jewelry, gold-filled jewelry isn’t one solid metal all the way through—it’s actually bonded to a brass core, making it more resistant to fading or tarnishing than a plated piece. But will it last forever? The truth is, it depends on your lifestyle, how often you wear your jewelry, and how you clean and store it. So, does 14k gold-filled tarnish? It can—but there are steps you can take to prevent it.
Things to AVOID:
• Pools & hot tubs have harsh chemicals that quickly tarnish jewelry
• Saltwater is highly corrosive for jewelry
• Sweating (while exercising) will tarnish your jewelry
• Water (yes we’re talking about showers) will fade your jewelry
• Beauty products including perfume and sunscreen will quickly tarnish jewelry
Things to DO:
• Keep your jewelry stored in something airtight like a jewelry pouch (Leaving your pieces out causes oxidation)
• Store in a low humidity environment
• Clean your jewelry regularly with a cloth or jewelry wipe. We love Shinery wipes because they are made to protect your jewelry (especially after we accidentally wear our favorite jewelry somewhere we shouldn’t have!)
Due to the custom nature of your jewelry, we do not offer returns. Please check out our Charm Bar warranty to find out if your product qualifies for a replacement or repair.
We will absolutely replace your missing charm with one of equal or lesser value within the first 90 days. NOTE: due to the nature of the product, we cannot guarantee that the exact charm you chose will be available. Substitutions may be required. You may come in store for a replacement or contact us at cailey@boxbarphilly.com to start the repair process.
Yes, we do offer repairs! The first 90 days are on us—given that the piece has only been subject to normal wear and tear. If we determine that your jewelry is past the point of repair due to mishandling or improper use of the jewelry, we retain the right to politely send it back to you. This of course will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
In order to initiate the repair process please email your information, order number, and description of the issue to cailey@boxbarphilly.com.
Manufacturing defects and charm/stone replacement are covered by our three month warranty. Damaged jewelry caused by accidents, mishandling, or improper use of the jewelry is not included. This warranty also does not cover scratches, dents, or any other damage that occurs with regular wear and tear.
