Announcement    Wow! What a crazy week it’s been over here! ❤️🍑 I’m a very small business and as you can assume this has been exciting and overwhelming! As many of you know, Ariana bought the little peach from our shop and you may have questions about your order! I kindly ask you to read below:

1) Please be patient as I fulfill orders, respond to questions, and ship packages. I am working around the clock to be able to get everyone’s orders out and I really appreciate the kindness and support I’ve received from so many of you ❤️

2) If your order says “pre transit” that means that the shipping label was created and I am in the process of packaging the item before it is sent out. Allow a day or two for the tracking to update through the Post office.

3) if you preordered this item, please be aware that the shipping time on your order will be 30-60 days from when you ordered it. If you didn’t realize this and don’t want to wait, feel free to reach out and we can work on getting you refunded. If you’re willing to wait, that’s great! ❤️

4) If there is any change to your order, whether that be your shipping address or the chain length, please reach out via Etsy messaging so that I can link your message with the order. If you message me on Instagram I won’t be able to link the order with the request. Thank you!!

A big thank you for all the support these past thirteen years of AptoArt being on Etsy!

A portion of our sales go to The Color of Change Organization, which is a group that aims to strengthen the political voice for African Americans.

~Shipping~
We aim to get our pieces made and sent out as soon as possible! Our goal is 1-4 business days after the purchase (: If you live in the US, expect a 2-6 day window for your item to arrive if you chose first class shipping. International orders outside of the United States could take anywhere from 2 weeks - 2 months to arrive. If you suspect an item has gone missing, just send me a message and we will figure out what's going on. Your satisfaction is the most important thing to us!

Disclaimer:
None of the products in this Etsy shop are intended for children or animals. The pendants and beads are very small and could pose a choking hazard if swallowed. The chains could also pose a risk to a child's airway as the necklaces are durable closed chains that don't snap right off when they're pulled on. If you have any metal allergies, please read the descriptions in each listing as it will state what the product is made of. Most of our gold tone pieces are gold plated over brass or copper. We also use stainless steel, sterling silver, solid brass, rhodium, stones, wood, fabric, copper, resin, glass, gemstones, and mixed metal alloys. Thank you!
