    At Mandia Jewellery, we are proud to offer our customers the finest jewellery crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. To ensure that you are completely satisfied with your purchase, we are proud to provide the following warranty policy for all of our items: Warranty Period: We believe in the quality of our work and stand behind it. That's why we offer a lifetime warranty*, covering any defects in material or workmanship, including lost accent diamonds up to 2.3mm. Our warranty also covers free cleaning and inspections for a lifetime**. We also offer free ring resizing within 6 months of purchase***. Exclusions: *This warranty does not cover wear and tear (including, but not limited to, ring bend, chain [under 2mm] breakage, earring post/backing loss or damage), any accidental breakage or misuse, loss or theft, or repairs/alterations made by third parties. Any repairs or replacements are deemed by our discretion. **Free jewellery cleaning depends on gemstone hardness. Some gems may be too soft to withstand professional cleaning and thereby will be unable to be cleaned professionally. (Note: any international orders or those unable to bring their jewellery in-person will be responsible for applicable shipping charges.) ***Free ring resizing excludes certain designs where the band cannot be easily cut to resize, such as eternity bands, rings with diamonds all the way around, certain rings using soft gemstones, etc. Limited to one free ring resizing only within 6 months. (Note: any international orders or those unable to bring their jewellery in-person will be responsible for applicable shipping charges.) We strongly recommend insuring any fine jewellery as part of your homeowner insurance or a stand-alone policy against loss, theft or damage. Warranty Claims: If you need to claim this warranty, contact us and we'll guide you through the process. Please describe the defect. We will then arrange for the item to undergo inspection and repairs. For any warranty that is not covered, such as accidental damage, a repair fee will be applied and we will get your approval before making any repairs. Note: any international orders or those unable to bring their jewellery in-person will be responsible for applicable shipping charges. Warranty Benefits: Our warranty provides you with the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you've made a wise investment. If you have any questions about this warranty, please don't hesitate to contact us at contact@mandia.ca We are confident that you will be thrilled with your purchase and proud to wear your custom jewelry for a lifetime.

  • Do you offer custom jewellery?
    Yes! We are proud to offer and specialize in custom jewellery and have extensive knowledge with years of crafting pieces. For a custom jewellery quote, please fill out our form here or email contact@mandia.ca.
  • What is the process of custom jewellery?
    Creating custom jewellery begins with your idea or inspiration. We encourage you to gather pictures, sketches, or any references that capture the design you have in mind. From there, our designer can craft a custom 3D CAD rendering of your envisioned piece, giving you the opportunity to preview and get an idea of it before we move into production. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process to ensure your vision comes to life beautifully.
  • What is the wait time for custom jewellery?
    The wait time for a custom piece of jewellery really depends on the complexity of the individual piece. Although our jewellers work as efficiently as possible, wait times vary. Our custom jewellery quotation will also include an approximate completion date for your order. However, the average custom jewellery completion time is usually 4-6+ weeks after the custom design is confirmed, depending on the piece. We will do our best to keep you posted throughout production so you know which stage we are at.
  • How much will custom jewellery cost?
    Every custom piece of jewellery is entirely unique, and therefore prices vary. We try our best to accomodate everyone's budget. To receive a free custom jewellery quotation, please fill out our custom form here or email contact@mandia.ca.
  • Do you repurpose old jewellery? Can I use my own gemstone?
    We have repurposed many pieces of jewellery to recreate something entirely unique and beautiful, based on your unique vision. We are also happy to accommodate and use your own gemstone in a custom jewellery design, however some limitations may apply. If using your own gemstone(s), please know that while we take every precaution to handle it with the utmost care, even though the chance is very low, there may be a small risk of chipping/scratching/damage during the gemsetting stage depending on the stone's inclusions, fractures, hardness, etc. The chance of this happening is unlikely, but if it does happen we will not be responsible for it, so we like to keep our clients informed when bringing in their own stone. However, if the diamond and/or gemstone is purchased from us, we cover it, so there's nothing to worry about in the off-chance something may occur.
  • What materials do you use in custom jewellery orders?
    Our artisan jewellers are highly skilled and able to work with a vast array of materials. We do our own casting, so we can offer rose/white/yellow gold, along with platinum or silver. For gemstones, we are able to offer almost any type you are looking for, including natural and lab-grown diamonds, coloured precious and semi-precious gemstones and more.
  • Do you offer engraving?
    For many orders we are able to offer engraving. However, the availability, placement and feasibility of engraving may depend on the design, size, and specifics of the piece. Please get in touch with us with more details, and we’ll be happy to discuss the possibilities for your engraving.
  • Jewellery Care Guide
    Fine jewellery is delicate and requires proper care to avoid damage. This means avoiding impact, pressure, chemicals, & extreme temperatures. Even gold, precious gemstones, and diamonds can be damaged by improper care. When putting on or taking off your ring, always grasp the band instead of the setting. If your ring feels tight, use soap and water to help it slide on/off. Use caution with necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. It's important to remove your ring and/or jewellery during certain activities or situations, such as exercise, sports, walking a dog, washing dishes, gardening, cleaning, moving furniture, working, sleeping, bathing, swimming, hot tubs, art/craft projects, and any activity that could result in an impact to your jewellery, extreme temperatures or pressure, or exposure to chemicals or creams and lotions. Pavé and small accent diamond settings require extra care, as the delicate prongs holding each diamond can be damaged easily. All fine jewellery requires diligent care, as do gemstones, which can be scratched and damaged easily. Always be cautious with your jewellery to avoid any accidents. For regular cleaning, you can use mild dish soap (free from dyes/chemicals) and warm water. Place your jewellery in the solution for 10-15 minutes, gently brush with an extra soft-bristle toothbrush, rinse in warm water, and repeat if necessary. This can be done as often as needed. Please inquire about the appropriate cleaning method as some gemstones are more delicate than others. Be sure to bring your jewellery to us once or twice a year for inspections and professional cleaning (if applicable). Please contact us for any questions, concerns or further details.
  • Are your diamonds and gemstones ethically sourced?
    At Mandia Jewellery, we are committed to ethical sourcing. Many of our natural diamonds and gemstones are acquired from local suppliers in Toronto, ON, Canada, who adhere to the Canadian Export and Import of Rough Diamonds Act and The Kimberley Process (ensuring conflict-free stones). We are always dedicated to sourcing responsibly and ensuring the highest standards for our creations. For more information, please visit KP | KimberleyProcess
  • Is Mandia's gold ethical?
    At Mandia Jewellery, we strive to be as sustainable and ethical as possible. We do our best to exclusively use ethical gold, which is sourced from artisanal and small-scale mining companies. We also work with reputable Canadian casting houses in downtown Toronto, ensuring that every creation aligns with our commitment to responsible sourcing.
  • Where is Mandia's jewellery made?
    Each Mandia Jewellery piece is handcrafted by our expert, artisan jewellers in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We are a Canadian company with all of our pieces made from start-to-finish in Toronto, Canada. As a Canadian company, we proudly serve countries around the world.
  • Will the gold fade/tarnish? Do you gold plate?
    No! Our pieces are never gold plated or vermeil (which is a thicker plating). Almost every one of our pieces are crafted in white/yellow/rose gold or platinum, so you can wear our jewellery day and night with peace of mind. Note that our white gold and/or silver often has a rhodium plating finish added, which is a common practice to make your piece look whiter and brighter. Over much time, and depending on your skin's composition, the rhodium will fade. Please inquire about this and a member of our time would be happy to guide and assist you!
  • Do you have a physical location?
    Yes! Our showroom is located downtown Toronto at 27 Queen St. E #804, Toronto, ON, M5C 2M6. We operate on an appointment-only basis. We love meeting our clients in-person (or virtually via Zoom meetings) to answer all of their questions, discuss jewellery and help with bringing visions to life.
