All size specifications for each product are on the individual product pages, we also provide a downloadable bracelet and baby bangle size guide here.
Regarding necklaces, 14” is the industry standard size for children, however Molly B necklaces are 14”-16” to enable the child to continue wearing her jewelry as she gets older. We suggest that 14”-16” necklaces are suitable for babies and toddlers, however, children's jewelry is not a toy and should be worn with care as with adult jewelry. We recommend supervision particularly with babies wearing jewelry.
16-18” necklaces are more suitable from around the age of 10 years old. 18” is the standard industry adult size necklace, this will sit approximately just below the collarbone of an adult. Of course, fit will depend on individual bone structure and so please use this information as a guide only.

No, we are an online store only.
No, engraving does not add any additional time. We dispatch orders on the same day, Monday to Friday, even if they are personalized, provided the order is received prior to the 1pm GMT cut-off time. Orders received after this will be processed on the following working day. Engraving is a complimentary service from Molly B London.

No, we use an engraving machine for precision and each product has been optimized to the specific dimensions of the piece for the engraving to be legible and the best size. If you want something more bespoke, we suggest buying the piece plain and then contacting a local jeweler who should be able to help. Please refer to the engraving specifications as shown on the product pages, as we are unable to change these.
Yes, these count as characters. Consider how you could cut down perhaps by removing 0’s from dates or just engraving a first name instead of a surname as well. Generally, we would suggest that it is better to have a shorter engraving than to try and fit names without spaces, as this can look strange. We also find that the engraving looks best if only the first letter is capitalized rather than the whole name, especially if it is a longer name. We do advise not using the Script font for numbers if you are engraving a date of birth.
Generally, we are able to engrave accents or special characters such as an umlaut, if we encounter any issues whilst the engraving team is personalizing your jewelry we will contact you. We are not able to engrave emojis or characters from outside the latin alphabet.
Orders are processed very quickly. If you have made a mistake, please contact us immediately and if we can, we will amend your order. Unfortunately, if the jewelry has already been engraved we cannot change this. Hand engravers are mostly able to ‘rub out’ engravings and can re-engrave the jewelry correctly for you.

No, all sterling silver is prone to natural tarnishing which is not a fault. Jewelry that has been stored and not worn for a long time is more likely to be affected as opposed to jewelry that is worn regularly. This is due to oxygen coming into contact with the metal and so it may need cleaning from time to time. If your jewelry has become tarnished then a silver cleaner and a soft jewelry cloth will remove this. For further information please refer to our jewelry care guide here.
