 Custom and personalized orders

We value our customers need of personalizing their choice of jewelry. Personalizing jewelry is a very good way of having something with you all the time with the initials/dates or words related to you or your loved ones. We do our best to hand stamping/ hand engraving your alphabets or words or symbols on the jewelry your like. Each jewelry is carefully personalized and cleaned/polished. We would love to see you wear your personalized jewelry forever. This is one reason why we maintain our quality of jewelry to the best.
Due to the unique nature of these jewelry, all personalized jewelry with your choice of engraving/hand-stamping are not returnable. But if you have any questions regarding the quality please feel free to contact.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING

We primarily ship with USPS Priority within 50 states in the USA.

► USA: STANDARD SHIPPING - with USPS PRIORITY MAIL (BOX 5"x3") and USPS First Class Mail. The tracking number will appear in your order details in the Order Management page. Transit time is about 3-7 days after handling time for Domestic Orders.

► RUSH ORDERS
If you need your order rushed, please make sure to select an expedited form of shipping. Also, please note the date you need it by (in the "notes" section) so we can work to make it happen, or contact you if it’s cutting it too close and discuss options.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS

► WE SHIP WORLD WIDE!

► NOTE: Transit times can vary GREATLY.
Occasionally packages can be SUBSTANTIALLY DELAYED, up to 45 days, but the usual transit time is 7-14 days.

When traveling across a border, packages occasionally get held up at customs. We do NOT have any control over this, it's in the hands of your country's customs officials. Please understand you are taking a risk in buying internationally that your package may be delayed up to 7 weeks. This is not common, but it happens occasionally. Once we've shipped your package, we can't do anything with it once it's in the hands of customs officials and your country's postal service, and sometimes they unfortunately take their time!

Delivery Duration on International Orders

If your order was shipped with USPS, the tracking numbers for International shipments only show where they are in the USA, and once they ship overseas, the tracking number is not updated. Once your package is outside the US, there will be no update until it’s been delivered. The tracking will show your package being “frozen” at a major US port (like CHICAGO, IL, 60666, US), but this doesn’t mean your package isn’t moving, it’s just that it’s moving overseas.

Care instructions

All jewelry are vulnerable to the oxygen in the air. All silver/gold jewelry, event the purest form are very likely to oxidize after some time. It is very easy to wipe and clean the oxidization though. Just use a simple jewelry cleaning cloth, the ones without chemicals.
We do our best to put an extra layer of anti-tarnishing when making our jewelry. This prolongs the life of the jewelry. But we highly recommend not to wear your jewelry while taking bath because most of the shampoo has hash chemicals which are not good for the Gold Plating. Soap is not bad for the jewelry at all though. Also try not to wear your jewelry when swimming, gardening, house cleaning, working out, applying sun lotions or spraying perfumes directly on jewelry.
