Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of jewelry pieces do you have?

Additionally, we have classic jewelry pieces like silver and gold necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings.
What materials do you use in your jewelry?
We use solid silver and gold.
Will silver tarnish over time, and how can I prevent it?
Yes, silver will get darker with time and wear, and it looks beautiful. Usually it can be made bright again by washing it with hand soap.
Can you customize one of your pieces for me?
Sorry, no, we do not offer customization or custom development on demand.
I would like to order multiple copies of the same bead. Will they be absolutely identical?
Please note that all of our pieces are handmade, and minor variations in finish may occur. These variations are normal and not considered defects or damage.
Where can I buy your pieces?
At the moment Argo Studios pieces are sold online and in the shop in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
How can I buy a Limited Edition piece?
Limited Edition pieces are announced on the website prior to the release. New pieces are usually released on Fridays 6PM CET time sharp, to allow all the collectors a fair chance of buying a piece.
Where are your beads made?
The beads are made by Margo and her team of artisans in the workshop in Amsterdam.
Do your beads fit on other brand bracelets?
Our beads have an opening of 4-4.5 mm, you can measure your bracelet against this.
How can I tell if a piece I’ve purchased from another collector is genuine?
To ensure authenticity, please purchase directly from our store. We do not authentificate pieces bought from other collectors.
How do I determine the correct length for my bracelet?
For bracelets without a lock that are meant to be worn with a double carabin, measure your wrist circumference and subtract 2 cm. Example, your wrist is 18 cm, you usually wear a 19 cm bracelet, so you order a 17 cm bracelet without lock.
For bracelets with a lock, simply measure your wrist size. For a looser fit, add 1 cm. If you plan to add beads to your bracelet, add an additional 1 cm.
For Lucky bracelets we recommend a tigher fit, your wrist size, as the bracelet tends to stretch a bit.
Where is your company located?
Our company is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Can I visit the Amsterdam shop?
Of course, you can do it without making an appointment. Although if you want to see a particular piece or meet Margo in person, an appointment is advisable.
Can you declare a lower value on my order?
No, we don’t do that. The buyer is responsible for the customs duties and import taxes for their country.
