Gold Charm Bail

At WWAKE, we work exclusively with natural, ethically sourced stones, and each one is unique in its cut and color. We are proud of the quality and individuality of our stones and select each one with great care. Because these are natural materials, we cannot guarantee exact replicas of the colors shown in photographs. Subtle variations are part of what makes each piece unique.

Our jewelry is carefully crafted with fine settings and sculptural details, particularly in pieces featuring prong settings or natural stones. Thoughtful everyday care will help preserve their beauty over time.

For daily wear we recommend:
-Removing rings during hands-on activities or heavy work
-Taking jewelry off before showering, sleeping, or exercising
-Avoiding contact with lotions, perfumes, and cleaning products
-Being mindful when putting on sweaters or reaching into pockets, as settings and shapes may catch on fabric.

A helpful tip when dressing is to turn rings toward the inside of your hand or gently make a fist when pulling on sweaters. We also recommend that open rings not be used as adjustable rings. When properly sized, they will keep their shape and last much longer.

If you ever notice a stone shifting or the ring losing its shape, please contact customerservice@wwake.com or submit a request through our Repair Portal.

Gold is at the heart of WWAKE’s practice. We work primarily with recycled gold certified to SCS standards, helping ensure responsible supply chains while reducing the environmental impact associated with new mining. Whenever possible, we also repurpose pre-consumer gold scraps from our Brooklyn studio, extending the life cycle of these precious metals through new designs.

With regular wear, gold may develop subtle changes in appearance depending on body chemistry and daily contact with oils or skincare products. This is most commonly noticed on the inside of rings or on earring posts, and is a natural part of how gold interacts with the skin. In most cases, the shine can easily be restored using a soft polishing cloth. For routine care, we recommend removing gold jewelry before applying lotions, perfumes, or cleaning products, and storing pieces separately when not being worn.

If your piece needs deeper cleaning or professional polishing, please contact customerservice@wwake.com or submit a request through our Repair Portal.

We source our materials through a network of trusted suppliers, lapidaries, and responsible mining communities with whom we've built long-term relationships. We work exclusively with natural gemstones, using a considered mix of newly mined, antique, recycled, and reclaimed materials depending on the needs of each design. Our pieces are crafted in solid precious metals, including yellow gold, white gold, and platinum. Whenever possible, we prioritize recycled and Fairmined materials, extending the life of resources already in circulation while supporting responsible practices throughout our supply chain.

Yes. WWAKE pieces are crafted in solid precious metals, never gold-plated or gold-filled. Most of our pieces are made in solid 14k gold, with select designs available in 10k gold, white gold, or platinum. Our metals are chosen for their strength, longevity, and everyday wearability, allowing pieces to be worn, repaired, and passed on for generations.

We would be happy to help bring your jewelry vision to life. Simple modifications, such as switching between matte and shiny finishes, are generally free of charge. Just leave a note at checkout and our team will take care of it. For more involved changes, including adjusting chain lengths, ordering a different metal alloy (gold in various colors and karats, 14k palladium, or platinum), adding engraving, or swapping stones, our custom team will need to assist.

Please reach out to custom@wwake.com before placing your order so we can review the options together. Please note that for earrings we are unable to convert between butterfly backs and flat backs.

Many of our designs can be created in alternative metals. While we prioritize 14k solid gold, our custom team can also produce pieces in a range of gold colors and karats, as well as 14k palladium white gold or platinum. Because each piece is crafted in our Brooklyn studio, we are often able to thoughtfully adapt designs while maintaining their integrity. Our Fine Jewelry Specialists can guide you through the available options and help refine the details.

To explore this further, please contact custom@wwake.com or submit a request through our Custom page.

Many of our pieces can be personalized with an engraving, allowing you to add a meaningful detail and make the piece uniquely yours. If a design is eligible for engraving, you will see an “Add Special Engraving to Your Piece” option on the product page. Selecting this will open a panel where you can choose between engraving styles and enter your desired text. Products with the "Engrave Yours" badge are eligible for engraving. The price of engraving is an additional $150. After checkout, a Fine Jewelry Specialist will be in touch to confirm the details.

Please note that engraving availability and character limits vary depending on the design of the piece, and not all products can accommodate engraving. These details will be indicated on the product page where possible.

For more complex engraving requests or if you need assistance, feel free to reach out to custom@wwake.com, and one of our Fine Jewelry Specialists will be happy to help.
