WHAT ARE SYNTHETIC PEARLS?
Shell pearls are created by humans using the inner lining of oyster shells, the substance known as Mother of Pearl. Shell pearls are faux pearls, but they’re made using the same ingredients as a cultured pearl. Shell pearls provide an affordable alternative to authentic pearls which are much more expensive.
Shell pearls are more durable than genuine pearls, because of the way they’ve been created. They don’t tend to discolor or fade and are more resistant to damage. They can tolerate chemicals, sweat, body oils and detergents better than real pearls.
WHAT ARE SYNTHETIC OPALS?
Unlike natural opals, synthetic opals offer the same mesmerizing play of light along with structural integrity, making them more resistant to wear & cracking over time. Synthetic opals capture the magic of natural opals while offering an ethical, affordable and sustainable option - without sacrificing beauty or brilliance.
HOW STURDY ARE THE STRTECHY BRACELETS?
The bracelets are made personally by Katy. She triple ties all knots and tests each one before shipping. The jeweler's threading is extremely forgiving and stretchy!
WHY DO YOU USE STAINLESS STEEL POSTS?
Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion compared to most of the other typical metals that are used in jewelry making. Another aspect that makes stainless steel popular is that it stands up well to everyday wear and It doesn't scratch easily and can hold up well to the sun and water. Stainless steel is durable and resists oxidation and it not rust, tarnish, or turn your skin green, even if worn daily.
WHAT DOES HYPOALLERGENIC MEAN?

WHY ADJUSTABLE RINGS?
At Max & Margaux, all rings are intentionally designed to be adjustable. As someone who has experienced fluctuations in ring finger sizing I understand how important it is that rings are comfortable and practical no matter the situation. As women, we deal with so many variables such as seasonal swelling, weight loss/gain, pregnancy and often arthritis. We have enough to worry about without one more obstacle. Max & Margaux rings ensure a perfect fit every time!
SIZING
ADULT PETITIE – 6.75” DIAMETER OF BRACELET
ADULT STANDARD – 7.5” DIAMETER OF BRACELET
ADULT PLUS – 8” DIAMETER OF BRACELET
ALL BRACELETS ARE MADE WITH A VERY STRETCHY & FORGIVING THREAD, BUT TO MAKE CERTAIN FOR THE PERFECT FIT, PLEASE READ BELOW!
1. MEASURE YOUR WRIST: TAKE A FLEXIBLE MEASURING TAPE, STRIP OF PAPER, OR PIECE OF STRING, AND WRAP IT AROUND YOUR WRIST BELOW THE WRIST BONE WHERE YOU WOULD NORMALLY WEAR A BRACELET.
2. IF YOU USED A STRIP OF PAPER OR STRING, MARK IT WHERE THE END MEETS. THEN MEASURE IT WITH A RULER. (IF YOU DON'T HAVE A RULER, PRINT OUT YOUR OWN AT PRINTABLE-RULER.NET)
3. THIS IS YOUR WRIST SIZE. BUT DON’T ORDER JUST YET! IF YOU BOUGHT A BRACELET THAT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME LENGTH AS YOUR WRIST SIZE IT WOULD BE TOO SMALL - YOU NEED A LITTLE SLACK TO ACCOUNT FOR THE THICKNESS OF THE BEADS
4. TO FIND YOUR BRACELET SIZE, YOU HAVE TO ADD A LITTLE MORE LENGTH. DEPENDING ON THE FIT YOU DESIRE, ADD THIS TO YOUR WRIST SIZE:
• SNUG FIT - ADD 1/4” TO 1/2"
• COMFORT FIT - ADD 3/4” TO 1"
• LOOSE FIT - ADD 1” TO 1 1/4"
