Our sterling silver, platinum, and yellow gold alloys do not contain any nickel. Our white gold, however, does contain nickel and should be avoided by those with allergies.

All of our listings are for two earrings by default; we'd never pull a deceptive trick like only selling you one earring! No bamboozle.

When we offer singles for sale, that is noted prominently in the item title and the first part of the description so that you can't miss it.

We do offer some earring sets that are for one ear only, but that (again) is featured prominently in the listing information.

The main answer is: It depends. Please feel free to contact us and ask for any special options you'd like us to address.

PLEASE NOTE: Paying for expedited shipping only changes the length of time it takes for the postal service to deliver your order. It does not affect the time we require to actually produce your items. Please check the "ship by date" on your email confirmation.

If you don't see the size you want in the gem you're looking for, drop us a line! We may well be able to order it for you :)

Absolutely! We're experts at suggesting different metal, stone, and design choices to bring a ring into the range of your budget. We can often shave hundreds or even thousands off the price of a ring by making certain changes, so don't hesitate to get in touch!

We usually can! We're happy to give you a quote. A word of warning: our custom and semi-custom rings have high fixed costs that are unfortunately not tied to raw materials cost, so the price may not drop as much as you'd hope.

We have found in most cases people are prone to save up a bit and get a ring in gold, rather than pay hundreds for a silver ring. That said, we have sold a number of beautiful custom silver rings to very happy clients!

We only work with precious metals: gold, platinum, palladium, and silver. Precious metals are formed into jewelry using casting and brazing techniques, while nontraditional metals are machined. We are not equipped to do machining.

All our earrings are created in our home studio in Oregon, USA; we are following sanitation and handwashing protocols. After polishing, earrings are cleaned with aggressive degreasing detergents, then saturated with isopropyl alcohol. When dry, they are placed in their plastic packaging with well-washed hands. It is also safe to disinfect our earrings with isopropyl alcohol.

We cannot know who touches our shipping boxes along their journeys, but if you wash your hands after opening your package and before handling your purchased items, you should not have any issues in that regard. All this is our everyday protocol, not just a Coronavirus response, but we hope it will help assure our customers that we are being as careful as we can be.

You are safe here: we welcome all races, all genders, all sexual orientations, all religions, and all countries of origin with open arms. We stand with you.

We enjoy working with our clients as a collaborative process between open and enthusiastic people, but we also reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who does not share those qualities, or who does not extend those same behaviors of respect and cooperation with us. If this situation occurs, however, we cheerfully invite prospective patrons to find another jeweler more suited to your needs.

Please begin by checking the return policy on the listing you are considering. Custom orders (including all rings) are non-cancellable and non-refundable. Many earrings can be returned or exchanged within 30 days unless a "custom order" option is selected; please notify us of your desire to return items within 10 days of receiving them.

Because our items are created to order, there is considerable investment in time and effort involved in each one. Please respect that time by not ordering multiple items just to look at or try them on.

If this policy is abused by excessive returns or cancellations, we reserve the right to refuse further service to the individual doing so or, at our discretion, offer shop credit only for future returns.
