Frequently Asked Questions
International Orders and Customs Fees
Customs duties or VAT fees may apply to international orders and are determined by your home country’s regulations at the time of delivery. These fees are beyond our control and cannot be predicted. By law, all package contents are accurately declared on shipping labels, and we cannot mark items as “gifts.”
How are orders shipped?
Orders are shipped to the address provided during checkout. Please ensure the address is accurate, as we cannot be held responsible for incorrect addresses.
Shipping delays after dispatch are beyond our control.
Can I request a specific size?
Yes! If you have special size requirements, please let us know prior to placing your order.
Do you make custom or personalized jewelry?
Yes, we love working on custom orders! Please note that custom designs may take a bit longer as we may need to source specific supplies to bring your vision to life.
Please note that the lengths/sizes are approximate and may differ slightly due to the size of the beads and the components. The findings may be slightly different than in photos. Depending on the settings of your monitor, the color of the items may
look slightly different than the actual color.
Will I receive exactly what is pictured?
You will receive a piece of jewelry similar to the one shown in the photos. Each gemstone bead is unique, with its own natural color, pattern, and shape. This means every piece of jewelry is truly one of a kind.
Do shipping times include processing times?
No, shipping times do not include the time it takes to create your handmade jewelry and pack your order.
How should I care for my jewelry?
Avoid contact with water, sweat, perfumes, and harsh chemicals. Do not drop your jewelry to prevent gemstone breakage. Remove your jewelry before bathing, swimming, or sleeping. Store it in its original box when not in use. For more detailed care instruction please check our Jewelry Care Instruction page.
