Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question? Let's see if we can answer it here.
General Information
Is Soru a sustainable brand?
We do not mass produce items at Soru, everything is made by hand, in small batches. We use small family run businesses based in Turkey and Italy for most of our jewelry with fair pay and good working conditions. Each piece takes time to create which is why there are sometimes longer wait times for items to come back into stock. We believe this makes each piece you buy feel truly special and reduces stock wastage.
Some of our everyday diamond pieces are made in China, they are ethically sorced and adhere to the Kimberly Process.
We have also partnered with Cadeaux Paperworks to offer sustainable gift wrap and eco tape that is ethically made and fully recyclable.
We’re passionate about encouraging conscious consumption – we only want our customers to buy pieces that truly bring joy.
How do I care for my jewelry?
To ensure your jewelry stays looking its best, we recommend that you avoid applying any lotions or perfumes and to remove your pieces when swimming or showering.
We provide a Soru branded box and pouch with every order so you can store your items in here when you're not wearing them to keep them safe from tarnishing or discolouration.
Full care instructions can be found here.
Why does my item look different from the web image?
In some of our pieces, we use natural gemstones & baroque pearls which may contain internal inclusions, adding to the beauty and uniqueness of each individual item.
Slight natural variances may occur between colours, patterns, shapes and sizes of our gemstones and pearls. For items this includes, there will be a message clearly stating this on the product page.
If you wish to exchange your item for a different shape or colour, we can do this for you. Please get in contact with us to do so at customercare@sorujewellery.com, any return postage costs would be subject to charge.
Item availability for exchange will depend on the stock we have remaining.
What should I do if I have more Soru jewelry boxes than I need?
If you are a returning customer of ours, you may have accumulated a number of Soru jewelry boxes that we ship out with our orders. If you are storing numerous pieces of jewelry in one box, then you may end up with some boxes that aren't in use, and you may be unsure as to what you can do with your unused yet new boxes.
The reason we send out our items in jewelry boxes is not only for a luxurious customer experience, but also to protect the jewelry inside. A lot of our jewelry is very intricately made and needs to be handled with care, as to avoid any damages during the shipping process. We would hate for your jewelry to arrive in any condition other than perfect, so while we would like to offer the option of removing a gift box from orders, we do not yet have an alternative, though we are working on a solution to this.
In the mean time, if you have found yourself in a position where you have more Soru boxes than you know what to do with, please contact our customer service so that you may return your new box to us. We can only accept new boxes, so that we can reuse them for other customers. This would really help prevent unnecessary waste and overproduction of our jewelry boxes.
