FAQ
Are your jewelry pieces handmade?
Yes. Our jewelry is handcrafted in small batches with a focus on artisan details, sterling silver, natural stones, and vintage-inspired character. Because each piece is handmade and hand-finished, slight variations may occur, making every piece uniquely its own.
Are the stones natural?
Yes. Many of our jewelry pieces feature genuine natural stones, including turquoise, moonstone, labradorite, agate, garnet, aquamarine, and more. Because natural stones vary in color, pattern, shape, and texture, each piece is unique and may differ slightly from the product photos. Please refer to each product description for specific stone details.
How long does shipping take?
Orders are typically processed within 2–4 business days. In-stock and ready-to-ship items may ship within 48 hours. Estimated shipping time is 7–10 business days after processing. Once your order has shipped, you will receive a tracking number by email so you can follow your package.
Do you accept returns or exchanges?
Yes. We accept eligible returns within 14 days of 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 our jewelry is handcrafted and features natural stones, slight variations in color, pattern, shape, texture, or finish may occur. These natural differences make each piece unique.
How should I care for my jewelry?
To keep your jewelry looking its best, avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, harsh chemicals, and prolonged moisture. Store your jewelry in a dry place when not in use. Sterling silver and copper may naturally develop a patina over time; gently polish with a soft jewelry cloth when needed. Natural stones should be handled with care.
Is your jewelry suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. Many of our pieces are designed for everyday wear, but handcrafted jewelry and natural stones should always be treated with care. We recommend removing your jewelry before showering, swimming, sleeping, or exercising to help preserve its finish and beauty.
