About our Jewelry

About Us

Bling by Wilkening is a fine costume, semi-precious, and estate travel jewelry company, founded on the three pillars of outstanding quality, great price, and philanthropy. We take great pride in offering the finest quality in the world, at the cutting edge of fashion, with unparalleled prices! In addition to every day wear, our jewelry is ideal for travel.

Our atelier is in New York City, which enables us to bring you the latest in trend reporting, and offer you unparalleled collections of exceptional and unique jewelry three to six months prior to trend reporting. Our western distribution headquarters is located in Tucson.

Bling by Wilkening jewelry has been featured on the Today Show, Good Morning America, the Oprah Blog and is featured in Kleinfeld Bridal from the hit TV series, Say Yes to the Dress!

Our founder and designer, Whitney Wilkening, has consulted with Garrard of London, the jewelry company who created the Crown Jewels and was jeweler to the English Royal Family for over 300 years. This research ensures that our stones, clasps, findings, and finishings are created as the finest estate jewelry in the world. Our designs are also inspired from research into the archives at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, as well as the Crown Jewels.

Each piece of jewelry must adhere to a certain weight content requirement, and all of our pieces are rigorously tested for quality and durability. Our precise quality control system covers every detail including platings, prong settings, clasps and symmetry of faceting on our stones.

Bling by Wilkening was founded in 2007 from Whitney Wilkening’s desire to offer jewelry that would wear as the finest jewelry, with the same settings and platings, but that would be exceptionally affordable.

Bling by Wilkening leads the trends in the industry with the challenge of finding affordable ways to offer travel versions of the rarest stones.

Our jewelry is plated with rhodium (platinum) and 14 and 18 karat yellow and rose gold. We plate each item significantly thicker than the industry standard to ensure unparalleled quality and durability.

A detail of superb quality, found only in the finest diamond and precious jewelry, are gold prongs to enhance the natural hues of canary diamonds and emeralds. Many of our pieces are complimented by gold prongs.

Each of our pieces will come packaged in a lovely gift box with a satin bow and lining. The pieces are exquisite and unique and are ideal for gifts!

Warranty Information

Our jewelry is meant to be worn and appreciated as the finest estate jewelry. Each piece is meticulously hand set by our master jewelers in our atelier with the utmost care.

Due to the delicate nature of precious metals, please see below care instructions:

To clean, use only warm water and soap without perfume or lotions, such as gold dial soap, liquid or bar. Apply to a very soft toothbrush and gently clean stones on the top and underside. Rinse with warm water.

Avoid direct contact with perfume, sunscreens, and commercial jewelry and household cleaners, as these may be caustic to precious metals. Do not use chemically treated jewelry cloths.

Avoid bathing, swimming or sleeping with jewelry.

While extremely rare, if an item needs to be repaired due to a manufacturing defect, we offer a 90 day warranty. Item must be accompanied by the original receipt and tag in the original box.

Please note the 90 day warranty does not cover the following.

The list is inclusive, but is not limited to the following:

*Jewelry worn while sleeping, bathing, or swimming in a pool or ocean

*Jewelry that has been exposed to harsh chemicals or commercial jewelry cleaners

*Jewelry that has been exposed to perfume, sunscreens, or lotions, as these may contain alcohol or sulfates which may be caustic to precious metals

*Jewelry that has been dropped or bent out of original shape

*Jewelry that has been heavily used, scratched, or not properly cared for 

 

Repairing Jewelry Outside of Warranty:

It is extremely rare that our jewelry should need any repairs, but should this be needed, we offer this service for Bling by Wilkening jewelry only. Each item will be assessed to see if it may be repaired, and the cost of repair will be determined at the time of assessment.

Storing your jewelry

Please store our jewelry in the original organza bag and box, both at home, and while traveling, to keep protected and free from dust, debris, and pollutants.
