FAQ

  • What makes Fire & Fringe jewelry unique?

    Each piece of Fire & Fringe jewelry is handcrafted in sterling silver and designed with natural stones like turquoise, moonstone, and moss agate. Every stone is carefully chosen for its color, shape, and character, so no two pieces are ever alike. The result is artisan jewelry that blends classic western style with modern simplicity.

  • Do you accept custom jewelry orders?

    Yes! Fire & Fringe specializes in custom sterling silver jewelry. Whether you’d like to choose a specific turquoise stone, request a different size, or design a completely one-of-a-kind piece, we’re happy to create something special for you. Simply email Shelby@fireanfringe.com or use the contact page to start your custom order.

  • How do I care for my sterling silver and turquoise jewelry?

    To keep your sterling silver and turquoise jewelry looking its best, store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Clean silver with a soft polishing cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Turquoise and other natural stones are more delicate, so always remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or applying lotions. Check Out this blog post for a more detailed look.

  • What sizes do your rings come in?

    Fire & Fringe rings are available in all sizes, most range from size 4 to 9. Many of our rings are one-of-a-kind, but we also offer custom sizing when possible. If you see a design you love but need a different size, please reach out to request a custom order.
