The Agadez cross or southern cross is the most popular example of a category of Saharan Berber jewelry.

This Berber jewel, worn by the Tuareg in the Saharan desert, is also a symbol of the southern star that guides nomads throughout their journeys. It also represents the four cardinal directions.

There are 22 Agadez crosses, all different: one for each oasis on the route of the nomadic tribes.

How do I take care of my pendant?
To prevent your jewelry from tarnishing or discoloring, it is strongly advised against exposing it to water, perspiration, or harsh or cosmetic products (perfume, soap, cream). It is therefore best to store it in its case or jewelry box while washing dishes, exercising, showering, or swimming. This way, your jewelry will retain its shine for longer.

ABOUT DELIVERY (READ)

Each delivery time estimate should be taken into account from the moment the package was shipped, not from the moment the order was placed. It should also be taken into account that there are periods when postal services are more overloaded, which can create unexpected delays, especially abroad (e.g., holiday seasons, Christmas). The state of the COVID-19 pandemic in your country and difficult weather conditions can also create delays in the delivery of orders placed abroad. In addition, the passage of packages through customs can sometimes lengthen the delivery time. We are not responsible for these delays and we always hope that your orders arrive as quickly as possible, but it is still important that you are aware of these eventualities.

Regardless of the shipping method, you must be present at the time of delivery because each package is delivered against a signature.

By registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt:
France: 2 to 4 days, 1 week maximum
European Union: a few days, no more than 2-3 weeks
Outside the European Union: 2 to 4 weeks

By Colissimo:
France: Between 24 and 48 hours
European Union: 3 to 4 days
Outside the European Union: 5 to 9 days

If there are customs fees to pay at the time of delivery, they are entirely the buyer's responsibility (as indicated by Etsy). We do not accept returns or refunds if you refuse to pay them.

If your tracking hasn't been updated in a week or you still haven't received your order after a month, contact us! We'll do our best to resolve the issue by immediately filing a claim with La Poste to determine what happened to your package. La Poste's response time varies greatly, but we'll keep you updated as soon as we have new information on the status of your order.

If your item arrives damaged, please contact us directly on Etsy or by email (kinyshop@outlook.com) and include photos of the package and the product so that we can work together to find a solution.
