READY TO SHIP: Ships within 1-2 business days (unless ordered with a made to order piece)
Inspired by Aly & AJ’s iconic take on Americana style. Set with a natural abalone and the tiniest gemstone, like a star in the desert sky. No two abalones are exactly alike (and that’s the magic of this piece).
Mementos by Aly & AJ is an ode to the places that raise us, the bonds that hold us and the way our passions can deliver us through all things.

Materials
Sterling Silver
Ease of care: 4/5
Solid, precious metal that lasts forever. It darkens with time, but can be polished up. Oils from your skin help prevent silver tarnish... so wear it often!
Vermeil (ver - may)
Ease of care: 5/5
More premium than traditional gold plating, vermeil is an extra thick layer of real gold over solid sterling silver. We use 14k or 18k gold depending on the piece.
Find a tool to use (string, dental floss, headphone cord, measuring tape if you have it).
Find the length by wrapping it around your neck and marking it (for pendants, imagine the jewelry lower, for suspended, it should be in line).
Check the length against a ruler or lay it out flat and measure with a phone app.
Alternatively: Measure an existing necklace end to end with a ruler (most accurate) or a phone app (great if you don’t have a ruler handy).

Find answers to our most-asked questions here, from care tips to jewelry options and more.
Yes! We have a full happiness guarantee for every piece, even personalized ones. See our Return Policies for full info on returns, repairs and exchanges.
It varies based on where you are in the world, and whether the piece is marked made-to-order or ready-to-ship. See our shipping page for specific arrival times.
Since it depends on which metal you chose, see our care tips blog and help center for detailed instructions on how to care for specific metals and gemstones. (Spoiler: all of our pieces require very minimal upkeep and occasional polishing, and can basically be worn 24/7 if you keep them away from harsh cleansers, chlorine and chemicals.)
It is! Just slide the worry stone pendant gently to adjust, taking care not to bend the chain too sharply.
This bolo-style necklace is not adjustable, but hangs at the perfect length to stack with other pieces and wear with a variety of outfits.
Abalone is an iridescent layer of a seashell, much like mother of pearl. We use farm-raised abalone in our Aly & AJ pieces for sustainability! To care for abalone, avoid harsh chemicals and soaking the piece in water; we recommend removing before showering or swimming to maintain its delicate shine. To clean, gently wipe with a soft cloth.
Got this in silver - such a beautiful, high quality piece! Looks exactly like the picture. It even shipped so quickly with the winter weather around the country.

This necklace is beautiful and delicate. The abalone has good green and blue color with a circular pattern. Such a nice accent piece; can be dressed up or down. I know my daughter will love it!
