Frequently asked questions
We'll answer all your questions here.
General
Yes, thanks to sliding knots or an adjustable chain, the bracelets fit small wrists and therefore children. On request, we can enlarge or shrink a bracelet free of charge. Contact us with your order number and the desired diameter :)
We've tried to create jewelry that suits as many people as possible. Our bracelets are therefore adjustable. Chain bracelets are adjustable from 14 to 20 cm and cord bracelets from 14 to 26 cm (there may be a few millimeters' difference due to the width of the animal motif and the hand-cut). Bracelets can be shortened or lengthened on request. Contact us with your order number and the desired diameter :)
Our bracelets fit 95% of wrists. However, if this is not the case and you have not yet placed an order, you can contact us and ask us to adapt a bracelet to your desired diameter.
If you've already received it and it's too small, you can send it back to us to be adapted. To find out how to return it, please contact us.
If it's too big, you can either cut the adjustable chain or thread it through the clasp several times.
You can keep it in the shower, but we recommend avoiding seawater, shampoo, shower gel, perfume and hydroalcoholic gel for greater longevity. The gilding and silvering with varnish that we've chosen nevertheless ensures excellent durability over time.
Please follow this tutorial.
Our Bracelets are made of pewter, 10 micron silver plated or 1 micron fine gold plated with cataphoresis varnish for durability. They are hypoallergenic, lead- and nickel-free.
Yes, both the chain and the cord are adjustable to fit most wrists. The chain is adjustable with an extension and the cord with two sliding knots. If the Bracelet doesn't fit, you can return it for an exchange or refund. See return policy.Yes, both the chain and the cord are adjustable to fit most wrists.

Avoid prolonged contact with swimming pool and sea water, perfume or any other chemical product. Don't leave your jewelry in the dark for too long, wear it regularly and its shine should last. In case of slight loss of shine, apply a little toothpaste with a soft cloth: it will look like new again!
Made in France
We are a 100% French brand. Our jewelry is made (molding, casting, polishing and galvanizing) in a family-run workshop near Marseille, assembled by hand and shipped from our premises in Poitiers.
We have posted photos of the manufacturing process on our website in the Commitments tab. We also post a few production photos on our social networks, particularly in our Instagram stories and our TikTok @fauna.bijoux account.
Since May 2021, all our jewelry has been made in France. Molding, casting, polishing and galvanizing are all done in a family-run workshop near Marseille. Only the chain comes from Europe, as there are no longer any French chain manufacturers, but the galvanizing is done in France.
The jewels are then assembled by hand, packaged and shipped from our premises in Poitiers.
Nous essayons tant que possible de limiter notre empreinte carbone : le pochon est en coton bio, le bijou est posé sur une carte ensemencée vous permettant de la planter pour en faire une fleur. Zéro déchet! Nous envoyons les commandes en lettre verte (-30% de CO2 sur le transport).
Spirit animals
We've created a guide to help you find your spirit animal. You can also take our personality test. But no one knows your spirit animal better than you do :)
We add spirit animals 2 or 3 times a year, focusing on those on the brink of extinction to help them through our awareness and donations. If your spirit animal is not available, we suggest you fill in this questionnaire to help us choose the next additions!
