About the jewellery
Is Ofira jewellery real gold?
No, and we are upfront about that. Every piece is artificial (fashion) jewellery: a brass base with 18k gold-tone plating. You get the warmth and look of gold without the gold price. We make no claim of gold purity and our pieces are not hallmarked.
Will it turn my skin green, or tarnish?
Our plating is tarnish-resistant and made for regular wear. To keep it that way, put jewellery on after perfume and hairspray, take it off before washing or swimming, wipe it dry after wear and store it in the pouch provided.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Every piece is nickel-safe, and nickel is the most common cause of jewellery irritation. That said, anyone can react to any material, so stop wearing a piece and seek medical advice if you notice irritation.
Are the stones real diamonds or gemstones?
No. We use cubic zirconia (often sold as American Diamond), shell pearls and coloured stones. The materials for each piece are listed on its product page.
How long will a piece last?
With reasonable care, our plating holds its finish through regular wear over many seasons. Plated jewellery is not lifetime jewellery, and how long it lasts depends a lot on how it is stored and whether it meets water, perfume or sweat.
Orders and payment
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can check out as a guest. An account simply saves your order history and wishlist for next time.
What payment methods can I use?

Yes. Payments are processed by Razorpay over an encrypted connection, and payment details go straight to them rather than to us. We only receive confirmation that a payment succeeded.
