FAQ

Sizes and fit

How do I know if an arm cuff will fit?

All our arm cuffs are one size and adjustable. You bend them open or closed a little to sit where you want them on the arm. The width differs: Raya 6 mm, Hera 8 mm, Olympia 20 mm, Diana and Ostra 30 mm.

Step by step: how to put on an arm cuff.

How large are the earrings?

Every product page lists the exact measurements under Details. Our two hoop sizes are 18 x 23 mm (the wider hoops) and 22 mm in diameter (the Slim Hoops). Both take the same pendants. See all earrings.

Materials

What is stingray leather?

A dense leather with a pearled grain that grows naturally. It is water-resistant and hard to scratch, and no two pieces carry the same pattern. Our leather comes from non-protected stingray species.

What makes ostrich leather look like that?

The raised marks are the follicles the feathers grew from. They come from the hide itself, not from an embossed pattern, which is why every piece falls differently. You will find it on the wider arm cuffs.

Where does the silk come from?

Our scarves are woven at Lake Como in Italy, where silk has been made for centuries. 100% silk, 14 momme, 70 x 70 cm.

Care

How do I look after my jewellery?

Take pieces off before showering, swimming and sleeping. Store them dry, and put them on after perfume and hand cream rather than before. Leather can be wiped with a dry cloth. More in Care & Wear.

Can I wear it in water?

Short contact is fine, rain or washing your hands. Showering and swimming are not. It is not the leather that suffers but the gold plating, and chlorinated and salt water shorten its life noticeably. Take the piece off beforehand and you will not have to think about it again.

Returns

Can I return an item?

Packaging and gifts

How is the jewellery packed?

Depending on the piece, it arrives in a PAVO jewellery box or a PAVO pouch, at no extra cost and ready to hand over as a gift. If you need another one, the gift box and the travel pouch are also sold on their own.

What if I do not know what to choose?

A gift card lets the other person pick. It is valid for one year and can be used across several orders.

Buying in person
