Personalization & Design

Small details matter when the finished piece is made especially for you.

How should I enter my name?

Type the name exactly as you want it made, then check every letter before submitting your order. Autocorrect, missing letters, and typing mistakes may become part of the finished piece.

Capitalization options can vary by font. If the product shows one specific letter style, your name will be created to match that design as closely as possible.

Can I order a nickname, double name, or meaningful word?

Yes, as long as your text fits the character limit and formatting options on the product page. Nicknames, family names, affirmations, and meaningful words can all make beautiful nameplates. Longer text naturally creates a wider finished piece.

Can I add an accent, hyphen, heart, star, or symbol?

Special characters depend on the selected font and design. Only request one when it is listed as an option, or contact us before ordering to confirm it can be made. A checkout note does not guarantee an unlisted character is available.

Is there a character limit?

Character limits vary by style because every font has different spacing and support needs. Follow the limit shown on the product page. Contact us before ordering if your personalization is longer.

Will my nameplate look exactly like the sample photo?

Your necklace will use the selected style, but every name creates a slightly different silhouette. Letter shapes, connections, spacing, width, and attachment-loop placement naturally change with the letters in your name.

Will I receive a design proof?

A proof is included only when the product page specifically says one will be provided. Otherwise, your piece may move directly into production using the personalization submitted with your order. Please contact at info@vairedore.com.

The right fit

Size & Chain Length

Your name and chosen chain work together to create the final placement.

How wide will my nameplate be?

Width depends on the number of letters, font, and how those letters connect. Short names usually create a more petite piece, while longer names naturally require more width.

Which chain length should I choose?

16 inches: a higher, collarbone-focused look.

18 inches: a versatile everyday placement for many adults.

20 inches: a relaxed fit or room for a shorter layer above.

Visit our Necklace Chain Length Guide before choosing.

Does a nameplate fit differently from a plain chain?

It can. A nameplate adds width and structure at the center, so it may drape differently from a plain chain of the same listed length.

Can I layer my nameplate?

Absolutely. Leave about two inches between necklaces so each piece has its own space. A petite initial or simple chain at 16 inches pairs beautifully with a nameplate at 18 or 20 inches.

Materials & Wear

Know what your piece is made from and how to help its finish last.

What are Vaire Doré nameplates made from?

Most Vaire Doré nameplates are crafted with durable stainless steel and finished in 18k gold or white-gold plating.

Are the nameplates water-resistant?

Our stainless steel styles are designed to be water-resistant, but plated jewelry is not permanently waterproof or care-proof. Remove it before showering, swimming, exercising, sleeping, or using beauty products and household chemicals.

Will my necklace tarnish or turn my skin green?

Stainless steel is highly resistant to tarnish and green discoloration.

Is the jewelry hypoallergenic?

Stainless steel is well tolerated by many people, but sensitivities vary. Review the exact materials on the product page and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.

Production & Order Changes

Your personalized piece takes time because it is created specifically for you.

How long does a personalized nameplate take?

Every custom nameplate is made to order. Please allow up to four weeks for production and shipping unless a different timeframe appears on the product page. Weekends, holidays, address issues, and carrier delays may affect timing.

Ordering for a special event? Please order early. A requested date is not guaranteed unless an expedited option is specifically offered and confirmed.

When will I receive tracking?

Tracking is sent to the email address or phone number used at checkout once your order ships. It can take a short time for the carrier to scan the package and show movement.

Can I rush my order?

Rush service is available only when listed as an option or confirmed before purchase. Leaving a requested date in the order notes does not automatically expedite production or guarantee delivery.

Can I change my name, finish, length, or address?

Contact us as soon as possible with your order number. Changes cannot be guaranteed after a personalized piece enters production or the order is prepared for shipment.

Can I cancel my nameplate order?

Once production starts, a custom order cannot be canceled. If you contact us immediately after ordering, we can check its status, but cancellation is not guaranteed.

Friendly reminder: Once a custom piece enters production, personalization changes may no longer be possible.

After it arrives

Returns, Issues & Care

What to do if you need help—and how to keep your piece looking golden.

Can I return or exchange a personalized nameplate?

Personalized jewelry is final sale because it is created using your chosen name and specifications. It cannot be returned or exchanged when the finished piece matches the submitted order. Please review our current return policy.

What if I entered the name incorrectly?

If the piece matches the personalization entered with your order, it is not considered a production error. Contact us immediately; if production has not begun, we may be able to update it, but changes are not guaranteed.

What if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?

Contact us promptly with your order number, a photo of the full item, and close-up photos showing the issue. Keep the original packaging while your request is reviewed.

How should I store my nameplate?

Fasten the clasp and lay the necklace flat in its own soft pouch or jewelry compartment. Keep it away from humidity, direct sunlight, and pieces that may scratch or tangle with it.

How should I clean it?

Gently wipe it with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid dips, toothpaste, baking soda, rough brushes, abrasive cleaners, and chemical polishing cloths. Visit our complete Jewelry Care Guide.

Can I sleep in my nameplate?

We recommend removing it before bed. Sleeping in a necklace can put tension on the chain, bend delicate script lettering, and cause tangling.
