Welcome to the Kazel & Co Q&A. This guide brings together the most common questions about our materials, craftsmanship, care, shipping, returns, and custom requests.
Our goal is simple: to help you understand how each piece is made, how to care for it, and what to expect before and after your order.
ORDERS & PRODUCTS
Are your pieces handcrafted?
100%. Every Kazel & Co. piece is made by hand in our Florida studio. No factory machinery, no assembly-line shortcuts. Johanny crafts each wire piece using Alambrismo, a South American wire artistry technique where every curve, wrap, and detail is shaped by hand. Our leather pieces are cut, shaped, dyed, and finished in-house by George.
We don’t use factory machinery or assembly-line shortcuts. Each piece is made to feel personal, not mass-produced.
What materials do you use?
We work with carefully selected materials, including polymer-coated wire, genuine gemstones, freshwater pearls, 14K gold-filled chains, .925 sterling silver chains, and 100% full-grain leather that we cut, dye, seal, and finish in-house.
Every material is chosen with intention, for its beauty, comfort, durability, structure, and how it supports the final design. Whenever possible, we prioritize materials from suppliers who align with responsible and ethical sourcing practices. These choices reflect the quality, care, and values behind Kazel & Co.
What about your wire? Does it tarnish or turn my skin green?
Not easily, and no, it will not turn your skin green.
We don’t use cheap wire that fades after a few wears. Our wire starts with a quality copper/silver core, is plated in gold or silver, and is sealed with a protective polymer coating. That coating helps resist tarnish, protects the finish, and creates a smooth barrier between the metal and your skin.
With proper care, your piece is designed to keep its shine and stay beautiful for a long time.
Is the wire nickel-free?
Yes. Our wire is made without nickel, lead, or cadmium.
Each piece is sealed with a protective polymer coating that creates a smooth, comfortable finish against the skin. It is designed to be comfortable for sensitive skin, but if you have a known metal allergy, please contact us before ordering so we can help guide you to the best option.
What are your chains made of?
Our signature necklaces and fashion crosses come with premium chains selected to complement the design.
Pieces finished in gold include a 14K gold-filled chain. Pieces finished in silver include a .925 sterling silver chain.
These chains are chosen for durability, comfort, and a refined finish that matches the quality of the piece.
What length is the chain?
Our signature necklaces and fashion crosses come on an adjustable 16–18 inch chain, designed to sit beautifully at the neckline and layer easily with your favorite pieces.
Need it a little shorter or longer? Contact us before ordering and we’ll let you know what adjustment options are available.
What’s the difference between your wire and gold-filled wire?
Gold-filled wire has a thick layer of gold mechanically bonded to a base metal. It is durable, but the material cost is much higher, which would significantly increase the final price of each piece.
At Kazel & Co, we use polymer-coated wire because it allows us to create detailed Alambrismo designs with a rich gold or silver finish, strong tarnish resistance, and a more accessible price. The protective coating helps preserve the shine and creates a smooth barrier against the skin.
Our chains are different: pieces finished in gold include a 14K gold-filled chain, and pieces finished in silver include a .925 sterling silver chain.
Are your pieces hypoallergenic?
Yes! All KaZel & Co. jewelry is free of lead, nickel, and cadmium. Our pieces are hypoallergenic and crafted with materials that are safe for sensitive skin, so you can wear them with confidence.
Do you offer custom or personalized orders?
Yes! We love creating custom pieces. Please reach out to us through our Contact page to discuss your custom order request.
Can I wear your jewelry every day?
Our pieces are crafted to be worn and loved. The polymer-coated wire is durable for everyday wear, though we recommend avoiding prolonged contact with water, perfume, lotions, and chemical products to keep your piece looking its best. With a little care, your KaZel piece will stay beautiful for years.
Do you restock sold-out items?
It depends, some pieces are limited edition, and others use stones we may no longer carry. Your best bet is to contact us and we'll see what we can do for you.
Can I see your pieces in person?
Yes! We regularly participate in art shows and markets across Florida and other states. Follow us on social media to stay updated on our next event. We'd love to meet you in person.
How do I care for my jewelry?
To keep your KaZel pieces looking their best: avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, and chemical products. Store in a dry place, ideally in the pouch or box provided. Gently wipe with a soft cloth after wearing.
Do you offer gift wrapping?
All KaZel & Co. pieces arrive gift-ready. If you have a special request, please add a note at checkout or contact us directly.

I lost one earring. Can you help?
Possibly. If we still have the matching stone or materials available, we may be able to remake the missing earring to match your original pair. The cost is typically 50% of the original pair price, plus any applicable shipping. To create the closest possible match, we recommend sending us the remaining earring.
Reach out through our contact page. and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
