Order Timeline

Our company handcrafts all products within seven (7) working days if parts are in stock.
Oftentimes, orders process faster than that but we can’t guarantee a faster processing time.
After this time, please allow up to two (2) weeks for delivery, via USPS.

Made to Order vs. Pre-Made

All items that are in the on-line shop are pre-made and ready to ship. Special orders and requested customizations require additional time to be completed before they are shipped.

Both are handmade, but the pre-made is shipment ready while the made-to-order products take seven (7) days to be created for you (prior to shipping).

Handmade Disclaimer

The product(s) you receive might vary slightly from the product picture due to the nature of your product(s) being 100% handmade to order.
Care for your new product(s) by:
• Not catching it on objects.
• Not tugging or pulling on it.
• Not tying it in a knot.
Your product(s) can be damaged if:
• Too much pressure is applied to the jewelry.
• It is left out in the sun.
• It is placed in a washing machine.

Custom Orders

We always love creating new products from scratch.
