Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers about your order, jewelry care, and fit.

Is this the same ByCila Jewelry that used to sell on Etsy?

Yes. ByCila Jewelry started on Etsy, where we served thousands of customers over almost ten years. Our Etsy shop is now closed, and bycila.com is our only official home. Same hands, same jewelry, same care, just a new address. If you bought from us on Etsy, welcome back.

Materials, Gemstones & Care

What metals do you use?

Depending on the design, you’ll find sterling silver, gold-filled metal, and plated finishes such as 18K gold plating. Check the Details section on each product page for the exact material and available finishes.

What does “hydro” mean on a gemstone listing?

Hydro stones are lab-created. When a design uses a hydro stone, we identify it in the product details so you can see exactly which stone you’re choosing.

Will my natural gemstone look exactly like the photo?

Natural stones can vary a little in color, pattern, and shape. We love that these details give each piece its own character.

Can I shower or swim in my jewelry?

We recommend taking your jewelry off before showering, swimming, or getting in a hot tub, especially for plated pieces and designs with pearls or delicate stones. Put your jewelry on after applying perfume or lotion.

How should I clean and store my jewelry?

After wearing it, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry cloth. Store pieces separately in a dry pouch or box so they don’t rub or tangle. Skip abrasive cleaners, especially on plated finishes and pearls.

Sizing & Styling

How do I choose the right ring size?

Start with the size of a ring that fits the same finger comfortably, then check the available sizes on the product page. If you’re between sizes or choosing a wide band, ask us about the fit and tell us which ring you’re considering.

How do I choose a necklace length?

Wrap a piece of string around your neck and adjust it to where you’d like the necklace to sit. Lay the string flat and measure it with a ruler. Check the product details for chain length and whether that design includes an extender.

How can I tell how big the earrings will look?

Check the measurements on the product page and compare them with a pair you already own. Our earring size guide and earring weight guide can also help you choose.

How do I wear a clasp-free lariat necklace?

On clasp-free designs like the Bela and Isabel, pass the gemstone through the loop twice to secure the necklace. You can adjust where the loop sits to suit your neckline.

Discounts

Why isn’t my discount code applying?

Discount codes apply to eligible items. Sale items are excluded. Check the offer terms and make sure the code is entered as shown. If you’re still having trouble, send us a note and we’ll help.
