MARIE JUNE strives to be an ethical small business. We work hard to ensure the manufacturing of our jewelry is free from any questionable practices. We only work with a few hand-selected partners, whom we know to be reputable and ethical, to manufacture our jewelry on a small scale. We ensure our supply chain is responsible and our jewelry is made responsibly. Our team members are paid well and they work in a safe and comfortable work environment. The facilities they work in are compliant with local labor and environmental regulations.

We proudly donate more than 5% of business profit to charitable organizations. We believe all businesses, small or large, have the social responsibility to fight for positive change in the society from which they benefit. We believe we all share the responsibility to fight against poverty, inequality, racism, and the lack of basic welfare & infrastructure. Acceptance, respect, diversity, and equality are some of the most important values to our design studio.

We are continuously finding ways to reduce our impact on the environment during our day-to-day operations and manufacturing processes. From recycling all scrap materials (metals, paper, packaging & mailing materials, and even ink cartridges), to selecting recycled or recyclable materials where possible, we try our best to do our part for our planet. Some of our current goals include transitioning to 100% recyclable packaging materials and using more recycled metals.

When it comes to production, our partners adopt eco-friendly practices that may include using responsibly sourced materials, using recycled metals where possible, implementing efficient waste management systems, and reducing water & energy usage.

Most of our designs are made using a complex 3D-printing process combined with traditional mold-making and lost wax casting techniques. First, we prepare our design file with 3D digital modeling programs. Our design is subsequently 3D-printed in a wax-like material by a specialized 3D printer. Once the 3D print is finished and carefully cleaned up, liquid plaster is poured around the wax model to form a mold. After the plaster hardens, the wax within the plaster is melted away, and the choice of metal is poured into the cavity of the mold. After the plaster is washed away, the jewelry is then thoroughly cleaned and hand-polished to perfection. Lastly, we perform final finishing and quality control before packaging the jewelry in a gift box!

All MARIE JUNE jewelry will arrive in an exquisite gift box and will come gift-ready. If you have special instructions, please leave a note at Checkout. Your order will also come with a high-quality jewelry storage pouch for each item, a jewelry polishing cloth, as well as a pamphlet with jewelry care and customer service information.

After the 14-day return window, MARIE JUNE offers a 60-day warranty against any manufacturing defects. This may include but is not limited to, flaws, defects, loosened pearls or gems, defective gold-plating, premature failures of earring posts, etc. Your warranty does not include damage caused by everyday wear and tear, by accident, normal metal oxidation; or through misuse or damage due to abuse and neglect.

A detailed description of the materials used for each design is located on each design's respective product page. By selling directly to our customers, we are able to offer the best materials at the current price point without the traditional markups.

Most of our designs are made in Sterling Silver and coated with a thick layer of real 24k Yellow Gold to 2.5 Microns thickness (such designs are called Gold Vermeil). Sterling Silver is a premium alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of pure silver and 7.5% by weight of other alloys added for strength of the finished product. Our Gold Vermeil designs are coated with a thick layer of real 24k Gold to a thickness that is 10x thicker than the average gold-plated jewelry.

Our jewelry is hypoallergenic and perfect for anyone with sensitive skin. Our hypoallergenic jewelry is made to minimize the risk of an allergic reaction, using high-grade materials such as Sterling Silver and real Gold. Sterling Silver is 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% other alloys added for the strength of the finished product. Our silver metal blend is made without any nickel. Sterling Silver is widely considered one of the safest to wear for sensitive skin. Our gold layer is made of high-quality 24k Gold, 18k Gold, or 14k Rose Gold. Gold is also one of the safest metals for sensitive skin.

MARIE JUNE is an online-exclusive jewelry design studio located in Old City, Philadelphia. While we do not have a showroom for customers to come and visit yet, it is one of our goals to eventually own a brick-and-mortar store. We do stock with several retail partners, such as the Wolf and Badger SOHO store in NYC, where you can see and try on our designs in person. If you are local, you are also welcome to schedule a pick-up for your order!
