(AVS stands for Address Verification System)

Make sure you're entering the correct billing address as shown on your credit card statement. (You know, that bill you dread getting in the mail every month.) For your security, Authorize.net verifies the billing information you enter with your credit card issuing bank. If it still isn't working, use a different card or contact your credit card company

This could mean one of three things:

• AVS isn't supported by your credit card issuing bank.
• Address information for the cardholder is unavailable.
• Address information is not provided for AVS check.

We suggest you try using another credit card or check with your credit card company. There's a slight chance that certain international credit card companies may not be compatible, or may not comply, with our security features. If so, our hands are tied - Dogeared cannot process orders outside of our security system.

• A.) You either had too much coffee this morning.
• B.) You got so excited about your cool new jewels, you were trigger-happy and clicked something twice. This means more than one transaction has been placed in a short period of time. Please contact Customer Service to make sure you're not getting more jewels than you wanted. (But, honestly, is there too much of a good thing?)

We're sorry, but because of insufficient funds, your transaction was declined. I know - we've never heard that one before, either. You should either try using another credit card or call the credit card company in question. (Cross your fingers beforehand.)

These are the last three digits that can be found on the back of your Visa or Mastercard. For you Amex holders, it's the four digits located on the front of the card. If you're not sure, or the numbers are faded from all that shopping, please contact your credit card company before placing your order.

Your precious jewel is packaged in our new environmentally friendly Padded Mailers made from 100% recycled fibers with the Dogeared logo on the front. It's ready-to-go for that perfect gift (for you or your friends)!

Keep your jewelry happy!

• Protect all jewelry from scratches, sharp blows, chemicals, extreme temperatures, and sunlight
• After each wearing, gently wipe each piece of jewelry clean of make-up and skin oils with a 100% cotton cloth.
• Store jewelry separately so it doesn't scratch other jewelry.
• Remove jewelry when doing household tasks such as gardening, cleaning, household repairs or other strenuous activities.
• Apply make-up and hair spray before putting on your jewelry. Make-up and hair spray contain chemicals that may affect your jewelry.
• Do not store jewelry next to heating vents, window stills, or in the car.
• Store jewelry away from the sunlight. The sun may fade some gemstones.
• Do not wear jewelry while in a pool, hot tub, or bathing. The chlorine in the water can damage various gemstones and metals including gold.
• Always store bead necklaces strung on silk flat because silk stretches over time.
• Frequent cleaning is recommended to maintain its true beauty. Salt water, chlorine in swimming pools, soap, perfumes, personal products and perspiration take their toll on all fine jewelry. Wipe your jewelry carefully with a soft cloth to keep it clean and enjoy!

Keep your jewelry beautiful!

• If using commercial silver/gold cleaners - read the label, and if in doubt, do not use a chemical cleaner. Some gemstones that cannot be placed in a commercial cleaners are: pearls, lapis lazuli, malachite, opals, coral and turquoise.
• Jewelry polishing cloth or sunshine - use lightly to restore luster. Do not press hard when polishing gold filled or plated jewelry or you will damage the surface.
• Easy homemade solution for cleaning silver jewelry - the best way to clean in places where a polishing cloth can't reach is simple. First take a small bowl that holds about a quart of water and line it with aluminum foil. Then add, hot water, a tablespoon of baking soda and stir. Place silver jewelry in the solution for about one minute, rinse clean and let air dry. If you have a build up of dirt in hard to reach places, just put dishwashing liquid in a bowl of water and soak overnight. This is how our Dogeared jewelry experts get their silver jewels sparkling!

Tarnishing is a normal process caused by oxidization and moisture from air and even sunshine. If you store your sterling silver jewelry in open air, you expose it to air and humidity, which can both cause it to tarnish. To reduce tarnishing, we recommend you keep all of your sterling silver jewelry in an air-tight protective bag made from tarnish proof cloth or use a reseal able plastic bag with the black anti-tarnish paper we've provided you. Pearls and opals, however, should be stored in fabric instead of plastic because they need to "BREATHE".

Our exclusive Gold Dipped process begins with a sterling silver base metal, a very thin nickel layer, and the beautiful word or charm is then dipped in 14kt gold. The nickel helps silver and gold bond and become friends. It also helps prevent the gold from wearing off and calling it quits. Over time, Gold Dipped jewelry can potentially wear.

Rose Gold is an alloy of pure yellow gold with a high percentage of copper, giving it a rose or pink hue. It has a very subtle and delicate color that may intensify somewhat with age due to a slight, but attractive, tarnishing of the copper.

Irish linen is a strong natural fiber. Our irish linen bracelets have a lightly waxed coating that will wear off when worn. It will gently wear with love over time and is not intended to get wet. Its true nemesis is water---which will make it fade and age before their time. Your irish linen will remain strong, beautiful and colorful if kept dry. Treat them like the dainty treasures they are.

Oxidization is the unique process where silver or gold is dipped in a liquid solution that darkens the color of the metal giving it a less "sparkly" finish. It gives off a vintage, antique feel.

*Do not use any tarnish-remover products
*Do not use jewelry brushes or polishing cloths
*Do not expose to hot water
*To clean: use a soft cloth, wipe your jewelry with mild soap and lukewarm water
* To keep its shine, use basic toothpaste. Yes! Toothpaste!

These tips will keep your jewelry looking fresh and, er, oxidized!

Rhodium is a precious metal, it is hypoallergenic, and a member of the Platinum family. It is applied over sterling silver or other metal alloys to give a shiny, long lasting charcoal colored finish. Over time, rhodium plating may wear.

*Do not use any chemical cleaners, toothpaste/toothbrush, sonic cleaners, silver dips, or ammonia-based products.
*Avoid rubbing your jewelry against surfaces.
*To clean: just use a little lukewarm water.

Following these tips will help you to keep your rhodium-plated jewelry bright and vibrant!

Our waxed cotton is hand-woven and lightly waxed. It is NOT color fast and is NOT intended to get wet. Its true nemesis is water " which makes it fade and age before its time. If kept dry, your waxed cotton jewelry will remain strong, beautiful and colorful. Treat it like the treasure it is!

Hemp is a beautiful thing. After all, it's the world's premiere sustainable and renewable resource! One acre of hemp can produce as much fiber as two acres of cotton or four acres of trees. Hooray for saving trees! Add to that the fact that hemp needs no herbicide or pesticides to thrive, and you'll see why we use it for our Earth friendly make a wish necklaces. It's all part of our wish for a healthy planet!

Leather is not intended to get wet. Its true nemesis is water--- it makes it discolor and age before its time--- your leather will remain strong beautiful and colorful if kept clean and dry. Treat it like the dainty treasure it is. Due to the natural properties of leather no two pieces will be alike. Grain and color variation may occur.
