This is sourced from responsible origins and is extracted under high environmental and social standards as well as with respect for human rights. Placer gold is obtained from natural river deposits and is considered a particularly resource-efficient form of gold extraction.

✦ The combination of selected materials, master craftsmanship, and attention to detail gives every piece of jewelry its unique radiance and makes it a timeless companion.

What is the difference compared to fashion jewelry?

Buying advice

How do I find the right chain length?

The appropriate chain length depends on, among other factors, your personal style, the shape of your neck, your height, and your chosen neckline.

To determine your ideal length, it is best to place a piece of string around your neck and mark the position where you would like the chain to sit. Then, measure the desired length. Many of our necklaces are also equipped with an extension chain and can be adjusted flexibly. 

✦ Further information and helpful tips for choosing the right chain length can be found in our size guide.

What is the ideal bracelet length?

The ideal bracelet length depends on your wrist circumference and the desired fit. 

Measure your wrist with a flexible measuring tape and add a little extra space depending on the desired fit: we recommend adding about 1 cm for a snug fit, about 1.5 cm for a standard fit, and about 2 cm for a looser-fitting piece of jewelry. 

Most of our bracelets feature an extension and can be flexibly adjusted to your wrist. For models with larger stones, we recommend a little extra space for optimal comfort. 

✦ You can find further information and helpful tips in our size guide.

What can I do if I am between two ring sizes?

If you are between two ring sizes or are unsure, we generally recommend choosing the slightly larger size. 

A ring should fit comfortably and slide easily over the knuckle without being too loose. 

Since finger size can change slightly throughout the day due to temperature, activity, or other factors, we recommend measuring several times at different times of the day and using the average to determine your ring size most accurately. 

✦ You can find further information and practical measuring methods in our size guide.

How do I find my ring size?

The right ring size ensures optimal comfort and a secure fit for your ring. To determine your ring size, we recommend measuring your finger several times at different times of the day, as finger size can change slightly throughout the day. Always measure the specific finger and hand on which the ring will be worn.

There are various methods available for determining your ring size, for example using a ring sizer, a strip of paper, or an existing ring that fits well. If you are between two sizes or are unsure, we generally recommend choosing the slightly larger size.

✦ Further information as well as detailed instructions on how to determine your ring size can be found in our size guide.

What can I do if my ring doesn't fit?

If your ring does not fit perfectly, we are happy to help. Depending on the model, we will check whether it is possible to adjust the ring size. 

Alternatively, you may exchange it for a different size within the statutory time limits, provided the ring is unworn and part of the current collection. 

Please contact our customer service team for this purpose. Together, we will find the right solution so that you can enjoy your piece of jewelry for a long time to come.

Material & Quality

How can I adjust the spring tension of the TS fastener?

As a rule, the TS closure does not need to be readjusted. However, should it open too easily, you can increase the spring tension yourself. 

How to proceed:

• Lift the button on the pin side slightly.
• The spring will briefly become visible.
• Once released, the spring will provide a firmer grip again. 

✦ Tip: If the closure is stiff, a drop of liquid soap can improve its movement.

Is the jewelry handmade?

BERND WOLF jewelry is created in our manufactory in the Dreisam Valley near Freiburg. 

There, the pieces of jewelry are crafted, refined, and inspected with expert skill, extensive experience, and great attention to detail. In doing so, we consciously rely on genuine artisanal craftsmanship. 

This results in pieces of jewelry with a special radiance, high quality, and lasting beauty.

Can I wear my jewelry every day?

Yes, BERND WOLF jewelry is made for daily use. High-quality materials, careful finishing, and expert craftsmanship in our studio ensure that you can enjoy your piece of jewelry for a long time.

For the longest possible lifespan, we still recommend removing your jewelry during strenuous activities such as sports, gardening, or manual labor.

✦ Incidentally, the best way to care for your jewelry is to wear it regularly. With the right care and storage, your BERND WOLF jewelry will remain beautiful for a long time and retain its special radiance.

Why is BERND WOLF jewelry particularly high-quality?

BERND WOLF jewelry is characterized by a combination of high-quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and an exceptionally sophisticated finishing process. 

We use high-quality 925 sterling silver as a base, which is finished with 999/1000 pure gold in our studio in the Dreisam Valley near Freiburg. The characteristic BERND WOLF gold plating has been continuously refined over many years and stands for excellent skin compatibility as well as exceptional durability. 

Combined with timeless design, select gemstones and pearls, and meticulous manufacturing, the result is jewelry with a unique radiance and lasting value.

Where is BERND WOLF jewelry manufactured?

BERND WOLF jewelry is crafted in our workshop in the Dreisam Valley near Freiburg. 

With a wealth of experience, craftsmanship, and a great attention to detail, we create pieces of jewelry with an unmistakable design and a special radiance here. 

From design and finishing to quality control, numerous work steps are carried out in our workshop. In this way, we combine traditional craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and modern production techniques. 

✦ Our goal is to create jewelry that provides lasting enjoyment through quality, durability, and timeless design.

Can the gold plating wear off?

Yes, as with all gold-plated jewelry, the gold plating can wear off over time due to wear and external factors. The speed depends on factors such as frequency of wear, skin contact, care, and contact with cosmetics, perfume, or moisture.

However, BERND WOLF gold plating has been developed for particularly long durability. Each piece of jewelry is refined in our manufactory near Freiburg in an elaborate multi-layer process using 999/1000 pure gold on high-quality 925 sterling silver. The carefully developed layer structure forms the basis for the exceptional longevity and radiance of BERND WOLF gold plating.

With proper care and regular wear, the characteristic beauty of the jewelry is preserved for many years.

What material should jewelry be made of?

The choice of material has a significant impact on the longevity, comfort, and quality of a piece of jewelry. 

Precious metals such as 925 sterling silver, gold, or platinum have been considered the preferred materials for high-quality jewelry for centuries. However, the deciding factor is not just the material itself, but also the method of its finishing. 

That is why BERND WOLF relies on 925 sterling silver as a base and an elaborate finishing process with pure gold. This creates pieces of jewelry with a special radiance, high skin compatibility, and long-lasting beauty.

Which material does not tarnish?

Not all materials react the same way to external influences. Some precious metals, including pure gold and platinum, are considered particularly durable. Stainless steel is also known for its resistance. 

For BERND WOLF jewelry, however, we deliberately use high-quality 925 sterling silver, as it forms the ideal foundation for our delicate designs and the elaborate finishing with pure gold. This results in jewelry pieces with a special radiance, high value, and lasting beauty. Nevertheless, external influences such as moisture, cosmetics, perfume, or sweat can affect the appearance of jewelry over time. 

✦ The best care for your jewelry is to wear it regularly. Contact with the skin gently cares for the surface and often prevents deposits from settling as easily. In addition, we recommend regular cleaning and proper storage.

Why does jewelry tarnish?

Jewelry can tarnish over time in everyday life due to contact with moisture, perfume, cosmetics, sweat, or components of the air. 

This is a natural process in which metals react with their environment, which can lead to slight discoloration. The extent of this effect depends on various external influences and individual factors. 

✦ However, tarnishing can be effectively reduced through regular cleaning and proper storage.

Is the jewelry free of harmful substances?

Yes, BERND WOLF jewelry is crafted from high-quality, carefully tested materials. 

The precious metals used, our elaborate finishing process, and high quality standards ensure that our pieces of jewelry are characterized by durability, high skin compatibility, and comfortable wear.

Is the jewelry suitable for allergy sufferers?

BERND WOLF jewelry is made from high-quality, nickel-free materials and is characterized by its excellent skin compatibility. 

Our experience shows that many people with sensitive skin tolerate BERND WOLF jewelry very well. Generally, those who can wear jewelry are also very well-suited to wearing BERND WOLF jewelry. 

Is BERND WOLF jewelry nickel-free?

Yes, BERND WOLF jewelry is nickel-free and complies with all applicable legal requirements. 

Thanks to high-quality materials and our special gold plating, our jewelry is characterized by its excellent skin compatibility and comfortable fit. 

This is why BERND WOLF jewelry is also highly valued by many people with sensitive skin.

How durable is the gold plating?

BERND WOLF gold plating is characterized by its exceptional durability and high skin compatibility. Every piece of jewelry is finished in our workshop near Freiburg using an elaborate multi-layer process with 999/1000 pure gold on high-quality 925 sterling silver. 

This creates an especially uniform and resistant surface that preserves the characteristic warm gold tone of BERND WOLF for a long time. Since only pure gold comes into contact with the skin, our gold plating has been appreciated by many customers for decades as being particularly comfortable to wear. 

The quality of our gold plating is continuously being developed and regularly tested. Extensive testing as well as independent examinations of the layer structure confirm the high quality and resistance of our finish. 

Our aim is jewelry that not only inspires through its design, but also provides many years of enjoyment thanks to a long-lasting surface and a permanently beautiful appearance.

What is the difference between silver and 925 sterling silver?

Pure silver is a very soft precious metal and is therefore only suitable for jewelry making to a limited extent. 

925 sterling silver consists of 92.5% pure silver and is supplemented with other metals, which makes it significantly more robust and durable. 

For this reason, 925 sterling silver is preferred for high-quality jewelry.

What does 925 sterling silver mean?

925 sterling silver is a high-quality silver alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver. The addition of other metals makes the material more durable and particularly well-suited for the production of long-lasting jewelry. 

Due to its high quality and elegant luster, 925 sterling silver is one of the most popular materials for high-quality silver jewelry.

How can I protect my piece of jewelry from tarnishing?

BERND WOLF jewelry is made for everyday wear – and wearing it regularly is actually good for it. The natural movement while worn gently cleans the surface again and again.

To protect your jewelry in the long term, avoid direct contact with perfume, deodorant, hairspray, make-up, and skincare products whenever possible. Ingredients like sulfur can cause gold and silver jewelry to tarnish over time.

If you only wear a piece of jewelry occasionally, we recommend cleaning it with a soft, slightly damp cloth and drying it thoroughly before storage.

✦  The best care is to wear the jewelry regularly.
✦  If necessary: Clean with a soft cloth or a suitable jewelry cleaner LINK SAMBOL
