Is SKRT Legit? Sourcing, Warranty, and Returns

The "is this brand legit" question matters most for purchases above a few hundred dollars. SKRT pieces sit in that price range. Here is the honest breakdown of who we are, how we operate, and what we stand behind.

Where SKRT is based

SKRT is a US-based jewelry brand operating from Miami, Florida. We have been in business since 2018. We ship from US warehouses to customers in the US and globally. Customer service operates US business hours with email and phone support.

This matters because: - US-based operations mean US consumer protection law applies to purchases - US warehouses mean faster domestic shipping than overseas operations - Email and phone service means you can reach a real person for issues

A brand without a clear country of operation, no phone support, and only email through forms is harder to verify.

How SKRT sources materials

Our plated pieces start with a hardened proprietary base alloy. The base is engineered to grip plating better than standard brass or steel, and to resist the contact-tarnish reaction that affects some skin types.

The plating itself is heavy 18K gold. The thickness is verified through batch testing before pieces leave the production floor.

Stones used in iced-out pieces are hand-set 5A cubic zirconia, the highest CZ grade. The product descriptions specify exactly what is in each piece. We do not market CZ as natural diamond.

How pieces are manufactured

Production happens through partner factories with quality control standards we audit. Each batch is inspected for:

Plating uniformity across all surfaces (no thin spots)
Setting integrity (stones held tightly, prongs even)
Clasp function (smooth open/close, secure latch)
Finish consistency (no scratches, no polish marks)

Pieces that fail any check do not ship. The QC adds cost but it is what keeps the warranty rate manageable.

Warranty terms

SKRT pieces include:

Lifetime warranty on plating for the original buyer. If plating wears unevenly or thins prematurely due to manufacturing defects, we re-plate or replace.
Lifetime warranty on stone settings. Loose or fallen stones from prong failure are covered.
One-year warranty on clasps and chain links. Manufacturing defects within the first year are covered free.

The warranty does not cover: - Damage from impact (dropped pieces, caught on equipment) - Damage from chemicals (chlorine, salt water, perfumes, lotions in direct contact) - Wear consistent with stated wear-class (gym wear, daily wear, occasional wear are all different categories)

To file a warranty claim, email customer service with your order number and photos.

Return policy

14-day return window. Pieces must be unworn, in original packaging, with no signs of wear. Return shipping is paid by the customer unless the item arrived damaged.

Refunds process within 5 business days of receiving the returned item.

Exchanges are processed when sizing or color/metal change is needed. We cover one exchange shipping cost per order.

Shipping policy

Domestic US shipping is free on orders over $100 (Standard 5-7 business days). Express options available at checkout. International shipping is calculated at checkout and depends on destination.

All packages ship insured and signature-required for orders above $500. The signature requirement prevents porch piracy but adds delivery time.

What SKRT does not do

We are honest about the things we do not offer:

We do not sell natural-diamond pieces. Our stones are 5A cubic zirconia.
We do not sell solid 18K gold pieces. Our gold is heavy 18K plating over a hardened base.
We do not do custom commissions (yet). All pieces are from the standing catalog.
We do not have brick-and-mortar retail. We ship from US warehouses but do not have a storefront.

A brand that claims to offer everything usually does not. We are upfront about our specific lane.

How to verify SKRT for yourself

Three quick verification steps before any purchase:

Search "SKRT Jewelry reviews" on Google. Independent review platforms (Trustpilot, BBB) have year-over-year history.
Check the about page and warranty page on our site. Both have clear, specific terms.
Reach out to customer service before buying with a question. Response time and tone tell you a lot.

Bottom line

SKRT is a Miami-based jewelry brand with transparent specs, lifetime warranty on plating and stone settings, and a 14-day return window. We sell 18K-plated cuban, tennis, and pendant jewelry to customers who want presence per dollar more than melt value.

Browse the SKRT collection with confidence in the warranty and return terms behind every piece.
