Ana Luisa Review: Gold-Plated Jewelry Prices, the 2-Year Warranty and US Return Fees
Ana Luisa is a US jewelry brand that sells everyday earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets online and from a store on Bleecker Street in New York. Most of its range is 14k gold or rhodium plated over brass, with gold vermeil and 10K solid gold options on birthstone, name and fine jewelry pieces. Best sellers mostly cost $45 to $175, and the fine jewelry collection runs from about $65 to $350 for the pieces we saw.
This review looks at what Ana Luisa sells, the material differences that affect price and durability, current pricing and tiered offers, shipping, the return fees, the 2-year warranty, and which items are final sale.
At a glance Checked October 2026
Ana Luisa suits shoppers who want gold-tone everyday jewelry at mid-range prices with a longer warranty than most fashion brands offer. The trade-off is that most pieces are plated brass rather than solid gold, US returns carry a fee unless you exchange, and personalized and birthstone pieces cannot be returned.
- Best for: Everyday hoops, studs and pendant necklaces; gifts where the 2-year warranty matters.
- Typical price: $45–$85 for plated earrings and necklaces; $115–$230 for birthstone and name pieces; up to about $350 for solid gold.
- Shipping: Free USPS Ground Advantage in the US (5–7 business days); Priority Mail $9.50.
- Returns: 30 days; fee of $1.99 for store credit, $10 for a refund on fashion jewelry, $16 on fine jewelry; exchanges free.
- Watch out for: Custom, engraved, birthstone, made-to-order and Last Chance items are final sale.
What Ana Luisa sells
The site is organized into these main groups:
- Earrings. Hoops and huggies in several sizes (the Giulia, Nate and Toda lines), studs, and statement drops such as Perry.
- Necklaces. Pendants like Pebble, chains, initial and letter necklaces, and custom name necklaces.
- Rings and bracelets. Bangles such as Selena and Carter, stacking rings and birthstone rings.
- Fine jewelry / Solid Gold. 10K solid gold pieces, charms, chains and diamond pieces; the page says lab-grown diamonds are used across the collection.
- Custom. Name necklaces, engraved items and birthstone pieces offered in either gold vermeil or 10K solid gold.
- Last Chance. Discontinued and clearance items, sold as final sale.
The help center also mentions permanent jewelry (welded bracelets and anklets) at its stores, and in-store pickup only at the Bleecker Street location in New York City.
Materials: plated, vermeil or solid gold
Material is the biggest factor in how long a piece keeps its color, so it is worth checking on every listing:
- Gold or rhodium plated brass. The help center says the majority of Ana Luisa's jewelry is 14k gold or rhodium plated over a brass base. The Giulia hoops, Perry earrings and Pebble necklace are all listed this way.
- Gold vermeil. The care guide explains that vermeil always has a sterling silver base with a thick layer of 14k gold, making it more durable than plating. It also notes that vermeil plating may fade over time, especially on rings and bracelets.
- 10K solid gold. Offered on fine jewelry and as an upgrade on many birthstone and name pieces. The help center says the 10K solid gold collection is hypoallergenic and nickel-free.
- Earring posts. The Giulia hoops list hypoallergenic titanium posts. The help center suggests that customers with sensitive skin choose earrings with titanium or stainless steel posts.
- Weight. Some listings give a weight, such as about 5 g for the Giulia Medium hoops and 6.26 g for the Pebble necklace.
Product pages carry badges reading tarnish-free, water-resistant and hypoallergenic, but the care guide is more cautious: it says products are designed to be water-resistant while still recommending you avoid constant contact with lotions and perfume, keep vermeil away from pools, sweat and sunscreen, and store pieces somewhere cool and dry. The brand also states it cannot repair broken jewelry or re-plate vermeil.

Returns and the 2-year warranty
Returns are accepted within 30 days, online or in store, with the original tags and packaging. The returns page counts the window from delivery, while the help center counts it from the original purchase date, so it is safest to start within 30 days of ordering. US returns carry a fee that is deducted from your refund and shown before you submit:
- Return for store credit: $1.99
- Refund to the original payment method, fashion jewelry: $10.00
- Refund to the original payment method, fine jewelry: $16.00
- Exchanges on US orders: free, and the help center mentions a 15% bonus when you take store credit for an exchange
Refunds typically take 5–10 business days to appear on your statement. Final sale items cannot be returned or exchanged: Last Chance products and bundles, made-to-order and customizable jewelry including birthstone pieces, engraved jewelry, sample sale purchases, mystery products, chain extenders, earring backs, earring back lifters and the jewelry care kit.
The 2-year warranty covers tarnishing, water damage and breakage from the original purchase date. US customers file a claim online with the order number, email and at least one photo, and receive a one-time replacement or store credit. Permanent jewelry, gifts with purchase and sample sale items are not covered; permanent pieces that break within 60 days are reattached free, and later welds cost $20 plus tax.
Who should buy from Ana Luisa
- Everyday jewelry buyers who want gold-tone hoops, studs and pendants for under $100 and value a written warranty against tarnish.
- Gift shoppers who can choose a standard piece, since exchanges are free.
- Personalized gift buyers who are certain of the name, birthstone and metal before ordering.
Think twice if you have a nickel sensitivity and the listing does not name the post material, if you want solid gold at plated-jewelry prices, or if you are unsure about a custom piece, since those cannot be returned.
