See below for helpful information regarding the queries we are asked most often.
Will it fit?

All size specifications for each product are on the individual product pages, we also provide a downloadable bracelet and baby bangle size guide here.

Regarding necklaces, 14” is the industry standard size for children, however Molly Brown necklaces are 14”-16” to enable the child to continue wearing her jewellery as she gets older. We suggest that 14”-16” necklaces are suitable for babies and toddlers, however, children's jewellery is not a toy and should be worn with care as with adult jewellery. We recommend supervision particularly with babies wearing jewellery.

16-18” necklaces are more suitable from around the age of 10 years old. 18” is the standard industry adult size necklace, this will sit approximately just below the collarbone of an adult. Of course, fit will depend on individual bone structure and so please use this information as a guide only.

Can adults wear the jewellery?

Yes, we have many adults that buy jewellery for themselves or as a gift. Many women can wear most of the jewellery range, depending on bone structure, with the exception of the baby bangles.

The open claw-back birthstone bracelets measure 19cms which is standard adult sizing, the Teenage Girl range has larger sizes than the main collection, as does the Heirloom Collection. Please consult the individual product specifications before purchase to ensure it will fit.

What is the most popular Christening gift?
Our Christening bangles are very popular, we have a beautiful range of exclusive sterling silver baby bangles and gold vermeil baby bangles. The most popular pieces are from our First Diamond collection and our Forever collection. We also have a gorgeous range of Christening cross necklaces and cross bracelets that are very popular for Customers who want to buy a piece of children’s jewellery that can be worn as the child grows up.
Traditionally, who buys Christening Bangles?
Christening bangles are mostly bought by grandparents and godparents who want to give a precious child a traditional keepsake that will always be treasured and hold special memories of your love for her. Our baby bangles will generally fit up to the age of 4.
If I don’t pay for gift wrap will I still receive all the brand packaging?
Yes, all jewellery arrives with Molly Brown London’s luxury brand packaging. We generally recommend using the Bespoke Gift Wrap service if you are sending directly to the recipient. This way the jewellery arrives beautifully gift-wrapped and you can add a gift note to let her know it’s from you, no invoices are included. You may still wish to choose this service if you would like the experts to wrap your special gift, otherwise, you will receive all complimentary gift packaging, flat packed for you to wrap. Watch the ‘how to’ video here.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No, we are an online store only.
Will engraving add any additional time to my order being dispatched and does it cost more?
No, engraving does not add any additional time. We dispatch orders on the same day, Monday to Friday, even if they are personalised, provided the order is received prior to the 1pm cut-off time. Orders received after this will be processed on the following working day. Engraving is a complimentary service from Molly Brown London. Please take care when entering the details, we engrave exactly what has been entered on your order
Can I add more characters to my engraving, or engrave in an area not specified like the back or the inside of a bangle?
No, we use an engraving machine for precision and each product has been optimised to the specific dimensions of the piece for the engraving to be legible and the best size. If you want something more bespoke, we suggest buying the piece plain and then contacting a local jeweler who should be able to help. Please refer to the engraving specifications as shown on the product pages, as we are unable to change these.
Do spaces, hyphens or fullstops count as characters?
Yes, these count as characters. Consider how you could cut down perhaps by removing 0’s from dates or just engraving a first name instead of a surname as well. Generally, we would suggest that it is better to have a shorter engraving than to try and fit names without spaces, as this can look strange. We also find that the engraving looks best if only the first letter is capitalised rather than the whole name, especially if it is a longer name. We do advise not using the Script font for numbers if you are engraving a date of birth.
Can you engrave accents, special characters or emojis?
Generally, we are able to engrave accents or special characters such as an umlaut, if we encounter any issues whilst the engraving team is personalising your jewellery we will contact you. We are not able to engrave emojis or characters from outside the latin alphabet.
I accidentally made a spelling mistake on my order - can you help?
Orders are processed very quickly. If you have made a mistake, please contact us immediately and if we can, we will amend your order. Unfortunately, if the jewellery has already been engraved we cannot change this. Hand engravers are mostly able to ‘rub out’ engravings and can re-engrave the jewellery correctly for you.
The engraving has worn off my jewellery - can you help?
Molly Brown jewellery is sent out in perfect condition, so engraving that has come off through wear and tear is not deemed to be faulty. Silver is a soft metal and is prone to pick up surface scratches during wear, this is quite normal. We cannot accept responsibility for items that have become badly damaged from extensive scratching on the surface of the jewellery, which has then impacted on the legibility of the engraving, regardless of the amount of time the child has worn the jewellery.
How long will my order take and how much will it cost?
If you order prior to the 1pm cut-off period Monday to Friday, your order will be processed and dispatched on the same day, even if it is personalised. Orders received after 1pm and over the weekend will be processed on the next working day. We offer Free Standard UK delivery and also faster delivery options are available for you to choose, depending on how quickly you want your order to be delivered.

I don’t live in the UK, how will this affect my delivery?
Molly Brown London delivers on a global basis and uses tracked and signed for delivery services.

This is decided on a case by case basis by your own government at the point of entry to your country and is outside of our control. If delivery is delayed because of this, we cannot be held accountable for your order not being received within the specified delivery timeframe. Please note, any additional taxes will be calculated and shown during checkout, mostly there are no further charges payable.

How do I care for my jewellery?
As with all the special things in life, take care of your Molly Brown jewellery. We recommend storing your jewellery in the jewellery box and pouch provided with your purchase. For more detailed information, please refer to our jewellery care guide here.
My jewellery is tarnished, is this a fault?
No, all sterling silver is prone to natural tarnishing which is not a fault. Jewellery that has been stored and not worn for a long time is more likely to be affected as opposed to jewellery that is worn regularly. This is due to oxygen coming into contact with the metal and so it may need cleaning from time to time. If your jewellery has become tarnished then a silver cleaner and a soft jewellery cloth will remove this. For further information please refer to our jewellery care guide here.
Is Molly Brown London a Sustainable children’s jewellery brand?
Yes, our jewellery holds the Positive Luxury Butterfly Mark for ESG+ standards at the highest levels, please see our Sustainability Policy here. Molly Brown London is the only children’s jewellery brand that has 3rd party accreditation for the sustainability of materials used in the collections.
Is Molly Brown London jewellery sterling silver?
Yes, all our jewellery is made from 925 sterling silver. The jewellery is tested and hallmarked at the Edinburgh Assay Office and Molly Brown London is an Assay Assured brand which means that the jewellery goes through additional testing to assure its high quality. The 18ct gold vermeil jewellery is sterling silver which has been plated in 2.5 microns 18ct gold, this is the highest quality finish available in the jewellery industry.
Are they real diamonds, gemstones or pearls?
Yes, we only use genuine diamonds, gemstones and freshwater pearls. The diamonds are 1mm-3mm diamonds, Molly Brown London is the only children’s jewellery brand that uses this diamond size in its collections. The gemstones are genuine semi-precious or precious gemstones, these are a natural product and so each stone is unique and may feature inclusions and possibly colour variation.
Does the jewellery come with an authentication card?
No, but all of the jewellery has been hallmarked, you will find the hallmark on the brand logo tag or on the inside of the bangles.
What does Assay Assured mean?
All our jewellery has been hallmarked at the Edinburgh Assay Office and this means that it has an official mark stamped to attest to its quality and purity. It has also undergone additional testing for Newton's Break Test. This means that if enough pressure is applied the jewellery will break and is an important safety feature as the jewellery is for children.
