1-Year WarrantyUpdated 10 days ago

At Hillberg & Berk, our designs are crafted with care and purpose, made to be worn, loved, and lived in. To help you keep your jewelry shining, we recommend using our essential care tools and following our care guide for the best tips to preserve the beauty and longevity of your pieces. 

Demi-Fine Jewelry, Designed to Shine 

Each piece begins with our promise to create jewelry that is as versatile as it is vibrant, grounded in an unwavering commitment to quality. Designs undergo countless iterations and samples to ensure every clasp, curve, and feature is just right. Each piece then endures rigorous testing, from drop trials to daily wear assessments, to guarantee it meets our standards. 

Our jewelry is demi-fine—made with high quality, genuine materials and balanced with a design philosophy focused on wearability and versatility.  We proudly design  with 925 Sterling Silver, a semi-precious metal that’s 92.5% pure silver. The remaining composition is other metals that increase durability, such as copper and zinc. Sterling silver is at the heart of our designs because it’s lightweight, durable, and safe for sensitive skin. 

Our gold and rose gold pieces are 14K gold plated sterling silver. This combination of quality and accessibility sets Hillberg & Berk apart. 

Our Warranty, Your Peace of Mind 

We stand behind our quality with a 1-year warranty on all Hillberg & Berk pieces—purchased anywhere. Our warranty covers manufacturing defects—things like misplaced crystals or production flaws—but doesn’t cover: 

  • Lost items 

  • Tarnishing 

  • Natural wear and tear 

  • Modifications by third parties 

  • Damage caused by improper care, storage, or handling 

What’s a manufacturing defect? 

We back our products up because we’re confident in them. When our team is continuously innovating, sometimes unexpected issues occur, like a crystal out of place or loose gemstone. Normal wear and tear, like minor scratches or tarnish, isn’t considered a defect.  

What is Tarnishing? 

Tarnishing is a natural process that occurs when sterling silver reacts with oxygen, humidity, or even your skin’s natural pH. Tarnish can often be removed with cleaning, but plated pieces—like our gold or rose gold items—will experience natural wear over time. While our plating is thick and durable, regular use can lead to some wear, which isn’t covered under warranty unless a manufacturing defect is identified. 

Not sure if it’s tarnish, a manufacturing defect, or something else? Don’t worry—you can reach out to our team, and we’ll be here to help! 

Seasonal Collections: Special Handling 

If your warranty claim involves one of our limited-edition designs, and we no longer have it in stock, we’ll help you find something just as special or offer store credit so you can discover something new.
