Asked at the bench

No. Merdia is the mark on the pieces; the selling happens at our retail partner, whose listing opens when you press a button on any card. Price, stock, checkout and returns are all theirs.

Parts of silver per thousand. A bangle stamped 990 is 99 percent silver; 925 is sterling, the alloy that keeps its shape best. The stamp sits on the piece itself, and our cards quote it exactly. There is a full note on reading the stamps.

They are named for what they are: created crystal and simulated pearl. Nothing on a card is called by a grander name than the material deserves, and the price reflects it.

Because they share one listing at the partner, and the listing owns the rating. Where that happens, the card says so instead of pretending each color earned the number alone.

It is the price as last checked. The partner moves prices without warning, so the button opens the live listing - what you see there is what you pay.

Four questions - what the box holds, the material, the occasion, the budget - filter the same cards the showcase prints. Counts next to each answer are live from the catalog, so it never promises a piece that does not exist.
