MATERIALS &
WARRANTY


Natural Material Variation

All specimens are natural geological materials. Inclusions, fracture patterns, color variation, and surface texture are inherent to each piece and are not defects. No two pieces are identical.

Metal Structures

All metal frameworks are hand-fabricated from sterling silver, brass, or steel. Minor surface variation, hand-tool marks, and natural patina are characteristic of the fabrication process and are not defects.

Care Instructions

Store pieces individually in a dry environment away from direct sunlight. Avoid contact with water, chemicals, perfume, or abrasive surfaces. Amber and certain minerals are sensitive to heat and impact.

Liability

Bismark Jewelry is not liable for damage resulting from improper use, storage, or care. Our liability is limited to the purchase price of the item in all cases.

Each piece is documented before leaving our studio. The registry record, where issued, reflects the condition of the specimen at the time of sale.
