Frequently Asked Questions
Is buying online safe?
Yes. Just remember to approach buying online with the same common sense you use when shopping at traditional, brick-and-mortar stores. Some good guidelines to follow:
- Purchase from well-established companies. Even if the website is new, it should tell you how long the company has existed. Just as you prefer to shop with trusted names in your local community, you'll be most satisfied if you spend your online dollars with companies that have significant business histories.
- Look for a straightforward return policy and a warranty. Because you can't touch the merchandise before you buy, you should be allowed to return any purchase that doesn't meet your expectations. The website's return policy should be posted and easy to follow. Additionally, a warranty or manufacturer's guarantee is useful for items like jewelry and electronics.
- Make sure the site provides customer service contact information. You should be able to reach the company by phone and email.
- The site should give you shipping information, including the carrier who will be handling your package and the estimated shipping date.
Why should I buy online?
As long as you're following the guidelines above, online shopping gives you the most choice and convenience, and it's a great step forward for consumers. Any time the customer and the manufacturer can interact directly, consumers get more control over the shopping experience.
The Internet also gives smaller businesses a way to distribute to customers that used to be out-of-reach. This means we all have access to a more diverse range of products-- everything from nail polish to heirloom tomatoes.

How durable is silver jewelry?
Sterling silver jewelry is both versatile and durable, but like everything it requires some maintenance. To keep your jewelry in top condition, remember the following guidelines:
Remove your jewelry before showering or engaging in physical activities.
Do not apply body lotion, hair spray, sunscreen, or perfume while wearing your jewelry.
How do I clean my Zina sterling jewelry?
All sterling jewelry will tarnish over time. This is a natural reaction that occurs between silver and oxygen and is no cause for concern. Some tips for removing tarnish:
Keep a silver polishing cloth on hand for easy touch-ups. This cloth is treated with a tarnish remover, and a quick buff with the cloth will restore your jewelry’s shine.
Gently wash your sterling jewelry with diluted dishwashing liquid. Rinse thoroughly and polish with a soft cloth. In order to prevent residual water stains, dry your jewelry thoroughly before you store it.
Silver dips may be used on sterling silver (not silver-plate) as long as the jewelry is not set with gemstones, turquoise, or onyx. Always rinse your jewelry thoroughly after using a silver dip, and dry it with a soft cloth. While silver dip provides an instantaneous touch-up, it is not recommended on a frequent basis.
