FAQ
Are your jewelry pieces handmade?
Yes. Each piece is crafted in small batches with a focus on hand-finished details, natural textures, and vintage-inspired character. Slight variations may occur, making every piece feel unique.
Are the stones natural?
We use natural stones and stone-inspired materials depending on the design. Because natural stones vary in color, pattern, and texture, each piece may look slightly different from the photos.
How long does shipping take?
As all of our products are handmade, we guarantee to ship your order within 48 hours. Shipping typically takes 6 to 8 business days. Once your order has shipped, you will receive a tracking number via email, allowing you to track your package at any time.
Do you accept returns or exchanges?
Yes. We accept returns within15 business daysof delivery. Items must be unworn, unused, and in their original condition. Please contact us before sending your item back so we can guide you through the return process.
Will my jewelry look exactly like the product photo?
Not always, and that is part of its charm. Since many pieces are handmade and feature natural stones, small differences in color, shape, texture, or finish are normal.
How should I care for my jewelry?
Please avoid exposing the jewelry to perfumes, lotions, or harsh chemicals, as our pieces are typically crafted from sterling silver or copper. When not being worn, please store the jewelry in a dry place; should oxidation occur over time, please gently wipe the piece with a soft cloth.
Is your jewelry suitable for everyday wear?
Many of our pieces are designed to be worn often, but handmade and vintage-style jewelry should still be treated with care. We recommend removing pieces before showering, swimming, sleeping, or exercising.
