Please refer to our Care and Maintenance page, which has instructions and tips on how to care for your EXOSymbols products and jewelry.

Wet, humid, and warm conditions as well as perspiration create jewelry corosion, which is why it is best to avoid wearing your Extraordinary Symbols jewlery in the bath or the saua or while swimming or playing sports. Similarly, makeup, lotions, hairspray/oil sheen, perfume and household chemicals can speed up the tarnishing process.

A good rule of thumb is to let the jewelry be the last thing you put on in the morning and the first thing you remove in the evening.

To minimize scratches and other damage, store your jewelry separately in the tarnish-resisstant pouch included with your order.

One of the safest and easiest ways to clean your jewelry is with mild liquid soap and lukewarm water, using a soft bristle brush.

If your jewelry is very dirty, leave it to soak for about 10 minutes before rinsing with clean water ad patting dry with a soft, clean cloth.

Silver polishing liquids and silver dips are not recommended as they can destroy the oxidized details on our jewelry.

Our charms are made of high quality sterling silver.

The Extraordinary Symbols charms were created to perfectly fit the Extraordinary Symbols bracelets.

If you have an existing bracelet that looks like THIS Heart Clasp Bracelet or THIS Mesh Bracelet, then our charms will also fit.

Yes, we are able to produce custom items. Please click HERE for more details.

Our inventory on the website is current. If you do not see a specific item, that simply means that we do not have it.

There is an area near the bottom of the page that allows you to sign up to know when an item has been restocked. We typically do not publish our production schedule so signing up is the best way to learn of a restock.

The crossing seasons shown on the site reflect the current inventory. If you do not see your crossing season, that means we do not have it. If the desired pin you need is simply out of stock, feel free to provide your email address on the product page for notification of a restock.

In order for additional years in the DELTA SINCE pins to be produced, there has to be a demand for at least 30 pins for the specific crossing season.

At this time, we are unable to produce an individual pin for one person.

Additionally, we have no plans to produce any additional DELTA SINCE keychains, unless there is an increase in interest.

Regarding WINTER or WTR Pins, we have no plans at this time to produce those unless there is a sufficient demand for them.
