Orders & Manufacturing
In-stock jewelry is shipped quickly. For a made-to-order piece of jewelry, please allow generally between 3 and 4 weeks for manufacturing. For a custom-made jewelry creation, the lead time is 4 to 6 weeks depending on the complexity of the project.
The jewelry available on our e-shop is generally in stock and shipped quickly. If your size is no longer available or a model is out of stock, it is often possible to remake it upon request. Each piece is then made to order in our workshop in Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
Some modifications are possible depending on the model and the nature of your request. Please do not hesitate to contact us by email to discuss your project and receive a personalized quote.

Jewelry Care and Repair
Store your silver jewelry away from humidity and clean it regularly with a special silver cleaner or a soft toothbrush and a little mild soap. You can find our care recommendations here.
Gold jewelry can be cleaned with a soft brush and a little soap. However, this method is not recommended for jewelry set with pearls, opals, or other porous stones. You can find our care recommendations here.
Gold-plated jewelry does not require abrasive cleaning. On the contrary, excessive rubbing and certain products accelerate the natural wear of the plating. You can find our care recommendations here.

Gold develops a patina, silver can slightly oxidize, and plating naturally wears off. These transformations are part of the jewelry's life and tell its story. At Azénor, we consider these marks of time as precious traces of the moments shared with the piece.
