Frequently Asked Questions

We believe that adds to the beauty and originality of each piece.
All of our jewelry is made to order and will ship in 3-5 business days unless otherwise noted.
Special order pieces, which are indicated in the product description, have longer lead times because we custom make each piece for each order. When you place a special order, you will receive an estimated ship date via email.

All metals will begin to oxidize when exposed to air so a certain degree of tarnishing is to be expected. We recommend that you keep your items stored separately in either an airtight bag or box which will reduce tarnishing and help avoid tangles and other damages.
We suggest that you do not sleep, swim, shower, bathe or exercise in our jewelry in order to avoid a build up of body oils and exposure to chemicals and minerals.
Apply lotions, creams and perfumes before you put your necklaces and bracelets on.
Do not use a polishing liquid on jewelry or submerge in polishing/cleaning chemicals of any kind.
Pearls should never be worn in the water.
