40,000 Reviews and Counting: Why Shoppers Trust Chapman Jewelry

Before you buy jewelry online, you want to know one thing: is this shop for real? Fair enough. Here's our answer.

Chapman Jewelry has been on Etsy for 15 years, and in that time our customers have left us more than 40,000 reviews with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars. That's across more than 189,000 sales — toe rings, ear cuffs, thumb rings, midi rings, and anklets shipped to customers all over the country. Etsy has also recognized us as a Star Seller, a badge reserved for shops that consistently earn 5-star ratings, ship on time, and respond quickly to messages.

What 40,000 reviews actually tell you

A number that big isn't about bragging — it's about pattern. One glowing review could be a fluke. Forty thousand of them, written over a decade and a half, tell you what to expect: jewelry that fits, arrives on time, and holds up to everyday wear. The Star Seller badge works the same way — Etsy checks every shop's ratings, shipping times, and response times each month, so it reflects how we're doing now, not just how we did once.

We read them, too. Customer reviews are how we've refined our fits and styles over the years — when thousands of people tell you what works, you listen.

A family business since 1982

We didn't start online. Chapman Jewelry began at the California State Fair in 1982, and we still spend our summers at fairs and festivals across the West — from the OC Fair and the San Diego County Fair to Cowboy Christmas at the NFR in Las Vegas, where we've been one of the vendors since it began. Every piece that ships from our Oakhurst, California workshop carries the same standard we've kept at the booth for over four decades — backed by our guarantee of a free replacement for any defect within 30 days (see our Return & Exchange Policy for the details).

Same jewelry, same family — right here

Everything our Etsy customers love is available right here at chapmanjewelry.com, with free shipping on every order. If you're new to us, these are the places to start:

Toe rings — our bread and butter, custom fitted to your size for comfortable full-time wear.
Ear cuffs — the look of a cartilage piercing with no piercing needed.
Thumb rings and anklets — sized options in gold filled and sterling silver.

And soon you won't have to take our word for any of this — we're bringing our customer reviews onto the product pages here on the site, so you can read them right where you shop.
