FAQs
What materials and gemstones does Ulka Rocks use in jewelry?
I work primarily in sterling silver (.925) and 14k and 18k gold (yellow and white) with natural precious and semi-precious gemstones including sapphires, emeralds, rubies, tourmalines, opals, aquamarines, garnets, spinels, tanzanites, and natural diamonds. When I use pearls, I select high-quality natural freshwater and Tahitian pearls. All pieces use genuine, untreated or disclosed-treatment gemstones sourced directly from gem shows. Each product page lists exact materials, gemstone origins, and metal finish.
Where is Ulka Rocks jewelry made and is it ethically sourced?
Most of my jewelry is handcrafted in Jaipur, India by artisan families I've worked with personally for over 10 years. I visit their workshops and factories regularly to ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and ethical practices. My gemstones are responsibly sourced directly from verified vendors at international gem shows (Tucson, Bangkok, JCK Vegas) with full transparency about origins and any treatments. I maintain direct relationships with my suppliers—no middlemen—ensuring both ethical sourcing and fair compensation throughout the supply chain. When you buy from Ulka Rocks, you're supporting small family businesses and traditional jewelry craftsmanship that's been passed down through generations. Every piece comes with the story of its makers and materials.
Does Ulka Rocks provide gemstone certifications and jewelry appraisals?
For jewelry pieces over $5,000, I can arrange official gemstone certification from internationally recognized laboratories including GIA (Gemological Institute of America), GGTL (Gem & Gold Testing Laboratory - India), IGITL (International Gemological Institute - India), GRS (GemResearch Swisslab - Thailand), and AIGS (Asian Institute of Gemological Sciences - Thailand). Certification fees vary by laboratory and stone type. I also offer professional insurance appraisals for any jewelry purchase—this written appraisal includes detailed descriptions, photographs, current replacement value, and gemstone specifications for your insurance company. Insurance appraisal service is available for a fee based on the number of items. Email mailto:ulka@ulkarocks.com to request certification or appraisal services. Most clients find certification unnecessary for pieces under $5,000 as I guarantee authenticity of all gemstones.
Are Ulka Rocks jewelry pieces one-of-a-kind or limited edition?
Many designs—especially my signature gemstone strand beaded necklaces and statement gemstone and stone pendants—are one-of-a-kind (OOAK) due to unique stone combinations sourced directly from international gem shows and from artisan stone cutters. Other styles like my Signature Combos and Jamboree Necklaces are produced in limited small batches. Since I use natural gemstones, each piece has unique color variations and character even within the same style. Once sold, most designs cannot be exactly replicated.
Can Ulka Rocks create custom jewelry or modify existing designs?
Absolutely! I specialize in custom jewelry design and modifications. Tell me your preferred gemstones (birthstones welcome), colors, metal type (sterling silver or 14k gold), chain length, or design ideas and I'll create a personalized proposal with pricing and timeline. I can modify any existing design, create matching sets, or design completely bespoke pieces. Custom jewelry typically takes 3-6 weeks. Email mailto:ulka@ulkarocks.com with your vision to begin your custom jewelry journey.
How long does shipping take for Ulka Rocks jewelry orders?
Most in-stock jewelry pieces ship within 3-5 business days via USPS Priority Mail or UPS 3 Day Select. Pieces purchased from my jewelry shopping trips ship within a week after my trip ends. Custom and made-to-order jewelry designs typically take about 3–6 weeks to create before shipping. International shipping available. If timing is tight, email mailto:ulka@ulkarocks.com and I'll confirm current turnaround for your order.
What is Ulka Rocks return and exchange policy for jewelry?
I have a 'Guarantee You'll Love It' 30-day return policy. Non-custom jewelry items in original, unworn condition can be returned or exchanged within 30 days—no questions asked, full refund. Custom or made-to-order pieces are final sale unless there's a quality issue. To start a return or exchange, email mailto:ulka@ulkarocks.com to discuss options.
How do I care for and clean my gemstone jewelry from Ulka Rocks?
Keep jewelry pieces dry, wipe gently with a soft microfiber cloth after wear, and store in individual small plastic bags or pouches to limit air exposure and prevent tarnishing. Avoid chlorine pools, hot tubs, harsh chemicals, and extreme heat. For specific stones: opals need extra moisture protection, pearls should avoid perfume contact, turquoise is sensitive to oils and chemical cleaners (never use alcohol). Proper storage keeps sterling silver bright and gemstones (sapphires, emeralds, rubies, tourmalines) looking their best. Professional cleaning recommended annually.
Does Ulka Rocks offer jewelry repair, resizing, and restoration services?
Yes, I offer professional jewelry repair, ring resizing, and restoration services for Ulka Rocks pieces. Services include: ring sizing up or down, chain repair, clasp replacement, stone replacement, re-stringing pearls and beads, and general restoration. Email photos and description to mailto:ulka@ulkarocks.com for assessment and quote. Typical turnaround 2-3 weeks. I'll outline exact costs and timeline before proceeding.
