FAQ
Before choosing your piece, here are a few things worth knowing.
1. Who is behind NOCTISA?
NOCTISA is an independent jewelry studio founded by a designer with a background in stage costume design. Inspired by years of collecting vintage fittings and exploring theatrical details, each design brings together personal creativity, vintage character, and dark romantic aesthetics.
2. Is your jewelry handmade?
Yes. Every NOCTISA piece is designed by our founder and handmade to order by our team. Each piece is individually assembled and inspected before dispatch, with careful attention to its details, finish, and overall construction.
3. What materials are used in your jewelry?
We select materials according to the character and design of each piece, including 14k gold-plated metal, recycled alloy with an antique silver finish, glass crystals, and lab-created gemstones. You'll find the specific materials listed on each product page, so you know exactly what you're choosing before you order.
4. Will the actual piece look exactly like the photos?
We make every effort to represent our jewelry accurately through detailed photography and product descriptions. Because each piece is individually handmade, subtle variations in finish, color, or component placement may occur. These small differences are part of the individuality of handmade work.
5. Is NOCTISA jewelry suitable for everyday wear?
That depends on the style you choose. The Signature Collection features more ornate, expressive designs for statement looks and special occasions, while Dark Essentials offers distinctive gothic pieces that are easier to incorporate into everyday outfits and layered styling. Each piece has its own character, so you can choose how subtle or dramatic you want your look to be.
6. Will the metal finish change over time?
Yes. Like most plated and antique-finished jewelry, the appearance of our metal components may naturally change with regular wear.
Our antique silver finish may gradually deepen over time, while the gold plating may slowly wear away, particularly in areas exposed to frequent friction or contact with skin.
These changes are natural characteristics of the finishes we use. With proper care, you can help preserve their appearance for longer. For more information, please read our Jewelry Care Guide.
