Choose a lock. Choose a chain. Choose an earring.  You can add to it later. The most important part is to choose a lock that you love.  Our locks come in 4 colors of gold (yellow, white, green and rose) and platinum and in some cases sterling silver.  All the locks are versatile and can be worn in a myriad of ways. Or your lock may work with pieces you already own—that's the best part.

Please email info@marlaaaron.com or call 646.628.2389 if you have questions.

Our collection is made by hand and oftentimes made to order. Orders are processed and shipped Monday through Friday. Please allow up to two to three weeks

All items on marlaaaron.com that can be engraved have an “Add An Engraving” on their product pages.

Personalizing your piece is one of the special surprises of owning or giving our locks. Each lock has 6 sides to engrave on and we can do virtually any language or symbol you can dream up. Engraving ranges in price from $80 for a standard laser engraving. If you are interested in hand engraving, please email or call us.

Marla Aaron is pleased to offer machine engraving and hand engraving when applicable. You may select your preferred engraving method; however, for specific styles, our engraving experts have determined in advance the most appropriate technique. If you don't see a choice for engraving, please reach out! 

Hand Engraving: Hand engraving is the art of removing metal to create lettering through the use of manual tools. Each piece is unique, allowing for the different character of each engraver. It usually takes an additional 4 - 7 weeks for delivery.

Machine Engraving: This method uses technology to create lettering, consistently replicating our most popular styles. It usually takes an additional 1 - 2 weeks for delivery.

Please allow an additional week for laser engraving. For hand engraving, please reach out to confirm the timeline as it’s different for each unique piece!

All of our jewelry is handmade and hand finished by a team of craftspeople. It’s safe to say that no piece is exactly the same. The gemstones we work with are constantly evolving so if you don’t see a stone that you seek, a chain length available or you’re interested in a custom lock, email or call us. We’d love to help you.

Even though our website is open 24/7, we, the humans who run the website, work 'normal business hours,' meaning we are open Monday-Friday, 9AM-6PM. If you inquire about a product or a purchase over the weekend, we will absolutely respond but it will likely be on the following Monday morning. We will be in touch!

Your locks are designed to last forever and to be worn and take on the patina of best loved jewelry. If you miss your piece’s original luster, we are happy to polish them to either a “satin” or gloss finish. Just call us. Pricing starts at $25.00.

The best way to care for your Marla Aaron pieces is by not wearing them while showering, swimming, working out or washing dishes. Maintaining the closure free of debris/chemicals (shampoo/conditioner/soap) is key. If you need a place to store your pieces while doing these activities, check out our Depository here.

To keep your silver jewelry shining - store it in a cool, dry place to prevent tarnishing. To maintain your silver jewelry, gently polish your pieces with the polishing cloth included in your order. Do not dip your pieces in any silver cleaning solutions as this may change the intended appearance of our blackened pieces. 

For brass Cufflings, our preferred cleaner is ketchup – Heinz specifically. Simply wipe the ketchup on your piece and then wipe off with a “buffing” motion using a paper towel. Rinse with water and dry and you will see the shine. Well worn jewelry though does not need any polishing. So wear your jewels!

Store pearls in a cloth pouch (if you bought them from us or had them repaired by us you have one of our muslin sacks). And try not to get lotion or perfume on your pearls – it will destroy their luster.

If you’d like to repair one of your pieces, please reach out to us directly at info@marlaaaron.com for instructions. Repairs requested within six months of your purchase date are complimentary.

If we are unable to repair your piece for any reason, we will reach out to you directly with a resolution. 

Repairs take approximately 2-3 weeks to complete and you’ll receive tracking details once your piece has been completed and is ready to ship. If you live near our NYC showroom, you can reach out to us directly to schedule a date for pick-up. If you need your repair by a particular date, please let us know.

You can use it as an extra link to a chain, as a charm holder, or use it to simply complete a chain.

• 15” is popular for a choker-style look.
• 19” is universally flattering as a necklace and most customers can wrap it around their wrists as a bracelet.
