To ensure that your package reaches you as quickly as possible, your order will be processed directly in our system. Therefore, the address can only be changed within 30 minutes of completing the order. Unfortunately, if you pay by credit card or other electronic payment method, we can no longer intervene for buyer protection and security reasons.

We ship worldwide via DHL. If your order is already being processed or is being shipped, subsequent address changes are no longer possible. If the package cannot be delivered, it will be sent back to us. We will then contact you and send you the package again as soon as we have received the correct address from you.

If you have not received an order confirmation from us, we ask you to first check whether you have provided a correct email address. If an error has crept in, you can subsequently change your email address in your customer account and have the order confirmation sent to you again.

Automatically generated emails often end up in the spam folder. Please check whether the order confirmation has landed there.

Depending on the mailbox provider, there may occasionally be transmission problems when sending the order confirmation. If the order confirmation has not arrived in the spam folder despite the correct email address, please contact our customer support directly. We can be reached at any time by email (support@meinekette.de) and will be happy to help you.

You can cancel your order within 30 minutes as long as it is not yet in shipping/processing. Unfortunately, no changes are possible afterwards due to the system.

However, if you do not like the items you ordered, you can exercise your right of withdrawal and return the items within 14 days and reorder the desired products. Engraved and personalized items that were made to your individual request cannot be exchanged. For hygiene reasons, this also applies to earrings.

Please note that the item must be in its original condition and packaging in order to be returned. Unfortunately, we cannot accept a cancellation in the event of damage or contamination.

You not only get a two-year guarantee on all pieces of jewelry, we will even repair your jewelry free of charge if it is your fault. Repairs are possible if the clasp, eyelets, anchors or suspension are damaged. We also offer you free improvement of the goods within the guarantee period of 2 years. This includes polishing and/or plating the jewelry with 18 carat yellow gold or 18 carat rose gold. For repairs and improvements within the warranty period, you only cover the shipping costs. Unfortunately, it is not possible to remake the jewelry. Therefore, broken chains or broken pieces of jewelry are excluded from the warranty.

If you would like to make use of the guarantee, please contact our customer service by email (support@meinekette.de) and provide your name and order number. We will then inquire about the damage and ask you to send us a photo of the damage by email if necessary. You can then send the complained item back to us along with a warranty claim. The application is used to allocate the package. After receiving the goods, we will check the damage and repair or improve the item free of charge.

We ship worldwide via Deutsche Post (DHL). Shipping costs differ depending on the destination country. For national deliveries we charge shipping costs of €2.50. Shipments to Austria and other EU countries cost €5.00. From a shopping cart value of €60.00, shipping within Germany is generally free.

Personalized jewelry can take two to four business days to produce. We then hand over the shipment of goods directly to DHL. The delivery time to Germany and Austria is usually three to five working days. Deliveries to other countries can take up to seven working days.

We apologize that delays may occur at peak times (e.g. on public holidays) or due to increased regulations regarding COVID-19 on the part of the delivery company.

Da es sich bei unseren Produkten überwiegend um personalisierte Artikel handelt, ist ein Express-Versand leider nicht möglich. Die Herstellungsprozesse in unserer hauseigenen Fertigung in Castrop-Rauxel sind automatisiert und modern, sodass wir eine Bestellung innerhalb von 1 bis 3 Werktagen produzieren können.

If your package was damaged during shipping, we must report the damage or theft to DHL. Please contact us immediately or within 7 days by email (support@meinekette.de) stating your name and order number. We will then inquire about the damage and ask you to send us a photo of the damaged package (if necessary, indicating whether the package has been repackaged). You then hand the package in for inspection at the nearest post office and submit a written report of the damage to the shipping courier. After the claim has been processed, we will send you another package.

If the delivery is not complete or an item is missing, please contact our customer service by email within 7 days to have the missing products sent to you. After this period has expired, unfortunately no refund of the goods or the purchase price is possible.

If the tracking shows that the package has been delivered but you have not received it, please contact our customer support as soon as possible. We can be reached at any time by email (support@meinekette.de) and will initiate an investigation with the shipping courier. Non-delivery can be reported within four weeks and an investigation or replacement delivery can be complained about. Unfortunately, a later complaint is not possible for technical system reasons.

If the tracking shows that the package is still on its way to you and this status has not been updated for several days, please first contact the shipping courier directly and ask them about the status of your package.

Since all orders are shipped from Germany, there are no customs costs or import taxes for you within the EU. However, if the destination for the package is outside the EU, you may have to pay customs costs for the package, for example in Switzerland.

If you have received an incorrect delivery, please contact our customer support immediately by email ( support@meinekette.de ) and send us photos of the incorrect items including the packaging.

You have the right to return the goods you received to us within 14 days without giving any reason. Unfortunately, engraved and personalized items made at your request cannot be exchanged or returned. For hygiene reasons, earrings and anklets are also excluded from exchange/return. The period of 14 days applies from the day on which the goods arrive. We only accept returns for new and unworn goods. The goods must be in the original packaging. Unfortunately, if the goods are damaged or soiled, we cannot accept a cancellation.

To refund the purchase price, we use the same payment method that you used to pay for the order, unless something different was expressly agreed with you.

The costs for returns are generally borne by the buyer, regardless of the shopping cart value. Costs originally paid for outbound shipping will not be refunded for partial returns. If an order no longer qualifies for free shipping after deducting a return or if the order value falls below €60, the postage will subsequently be deducted from the amount of the refund. If the specified minimum order value is not reached, an originally granted discount can subsequently be reduced or canceled.

If you do not like the items you ordered, you can exercise your right of withdrawal and return the package within 14 days and reorder the items you want.

You can track the status of your return using the tracking number on your return slip. Please keep the return slip for your return until the purchase amount has been refunded.

If you have any further questions, you can contact our customer support. We can be reached at any time by email (support@meinekette.de) and will be happy to help you.

Bei der Lieferung unserer Gutscheine erhältst du einen individuellen Code. Diesen kannst du nach Abschluss deiner Bestellung im Checkout unter dem Punkt "Rabattcode oder Geschenkgutschein" eintragen. Klicke anschließend auf "anwenden". Der Betrag/Rabatt wird nun automatisch vom Warenkorbwert abgezogen.

In general, only one discount code can be redeemed per order. Please note that no further code can be used during ongoing promotions that include an automated discount. In addition, there can be various reasons why a discount code does not work. Please check the following points:

- Did you enter the promotion or discount code correctly?

- Is your promotional or discount code redeemable for the selected items? Some promotional or discount codes only apply to certain products or categories and not to the entire range.

- Has the validity of the promotion or discount code already expired?

If your code still doesn't work, please contact our support directly. We can be reached at any time by email (support@meinekette.de) and will be happy to help you.

Unfortunately, we cannot give precise information about when sold-out items will be available again as this depends on various factors. However, we will keep you regularly updated with news about our products via our social media channels. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram so you don't miss any news.

If there was an error in the engraving of your piece of jewelry and it was our fault, we would first like to apologize for the inconvenience! In this case, please contact our customer support immediately by email (support@meinekette.de). If you cancel the faulty item, we will issue the goods total as a voucher and you can order the item again.

Wir setzen ausschließlich auf hochwertige Materialien. Bei einem Großteil unserer Artikel hast du die Wahl zwischen Edelstahl, 925er Silber und 14 K Gold. In Abhängigkeit der Artikelbeschaffenheit (Optik, Design etc.) führen wir gelegentlich auch Produkte aus Messing. Auf der jeweiligen Produktseite findest du die Angabe des Materials grundsätzlich unter dem Button "Informationen",insofern du es nicht selbst aussuchen kannst.

Artikel aus Edelstahl und 14 K Gold sind grundsätzlich wasserfest. 925er Silber, auch Sterling Silber genannt, ebenfalls. Jedoch kann es bei diesem Material durch chemische Reaktionen mit der Luft/Feuchtigkeit zu Verfärbungen kommen. Hat sich dein Silberschmuck bereits verfärbt, kannst du ihn mit gewöhnlichem Silberreinigungsmittel wieder zum gewünschten Glanz verhelfen.

Du solltest deinen Schmuck trocken und vor Sonnenlicht geschützt aufbewahren, um Beschädigungen und Ausbleichen zu vermeiden. Da das typische Anlaufen von Silberschmuck durch eine hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit gefördert wird, lege ihn bitte nicht im Badezimmer ab. Im Idealfall verstaust du deine Schmuckstücke in einer geschlossenen Schatulle. So kannst du z. B. auch verhindern, dass sich Halsketten, Armbänder und Fußketten verknoten.

Verwende zur Reinigung deines Schmucks keine aggressiven Mittel. Zur sanften Entfernung von Schmutz, Verfärbungen und zum Polieren etc. sind ein weiches Tuch, Wasser und eine milde Seife ausreichend. Natürlich kannst du auch spezielle Silber- bzw. Schmuckreiniger nutzen. Achte darauf, das Schmuckstück vollständig zu trocken, bevor du es wieder anziehst oder verwahrst.

Das Material kann durch Schweiß beeinträchtigt werden. Planst du eine Sporteinheit oder einen Saunabesuch, entferne Accessoires mit direktem Hautkontakt im Vorfeld. Falls du im Fitnessstudio trainierst, empfehlen wir dir, deinen Schmuck bereits zu Hause abzulegen. Da in Umkleidekabinen ein feuchtes Klima herrscht, kann die Aufbewahrung im Spind o. Ä. das Anlaufen der Schmuckstücke begünstigen.

Salzwasser ist nicht der beste Freund deiner Schmuckstücke. Insbesondere, wenn es sich um ein vergoldetes Accessoire handelt, solltest du es vor dem Bad im Meer ablegen, da sich ansonsten die Veredelung lösen kann. Hast du einmal vergessen, deinen Silberschmuck vorab auszuziehen, spüle ihn mit Wasser und einer milden Seife ab, bevor du ihn mithilfe eines weichen Tuchs vollständig abtrocknest. Nur so kannst du verhindern, dass Salzrückstände auf dem Schmuck verbleiben.

Nein. Metalle wie Silber reagieren auf eine Vielzahl chemischer Verbindungen. Dazu zählen unter anderem Wärme, Feuchtigkeit und Schwefel. Letzteres findet sich beispielsweise in gewöhnlicher Atemluft. Deshalb empfehlen wir dir, Schmuck nicht offen im Schlafzimmer aufzubewahren. Schläfst du bei geschlossenem Fenster, sammelt sich der Stoff im Raum. Am nächsten Morgen kann sich das in einem angelaufenen Schmuckstück widerspiegeln.
