International orders usually take approximately 10 to 20 business day to deliver...but can take up to 6 weeks or longer to deliver, depending on Customs clearance, etc. Many countries assess duties and taxes on imported packages - these fees are the responsibility of the buyer and are out of our control.

We ship to the address you specify on your order, so please be sure that your PayPal and Etsy address are correct. If we ship to the address you list on Paypal or Etsy, and the package is returned to us, you will be responsible for any additional shipping charges plus the cost to reship to you again. Shipping charges are not refundable. If the tracking shows the order was delivered to the address on the account, but was never received, it is the responsibility of the buyer to contact their local postal office, we will not be held responsible for misplaced packages. We will evaluate on a per case basis. We require a minimum of 14 business days waiting period from the time the item was marked as delivered for further investigation.

Some packages may require a signature confirmation at delivery. If you are not home when the package is delivered, your carrier will leave you a notice. You can then either pick up the package at your local post office, arrange for a re-delivery for a time when you are home, or you can sign the note and leave it for your carrier and they will leave the package for you. Orders that are returned to shipper due to non-pick up will incur a 20% restocking fee. Custom orders are non-refundable.

We recommend storing jewelry (especially silver plated and sterling silver) in an airtight container, such as a zip baggie when not wearing to keep it looking it's best and to prevent any tarnishing that may occur. Tarnishing can occur due to sulfur in the air, etc. If tarnishing does occur, you can buff gently with a jewelry anti-tarnish cloth. While jewelry is water resistant, it is not water proof so please remove before bathing, swimming, water activities, etc. Submerging in water can damage jewelry.

Not responsible for allergic reactions or any kind of rash associated with jewelry wear.

Some of our earrings are made using Titanium and Surgical Stainless Steel posts and backings. These earrings will not tarnish and are stronger than some of the other metals used. While these are a great choice for people with earrings sensitivities, those with more severe allergies and sensitivities may still experience issues which are beyond our control. As each individual is different and experiences varying degrees of allergies or sensitivities, we cannot guarantee against any allergic reactions. For this reason, purchase at your own discretion.

*Regarding Titanium Posts: The pad is nickel-free surgical stainless steel. The post is titanium grade 1 which is medical grade. All pieces are medical grade.

Our jewelry is intended for adults (as such we only sell to adults over the age of 18) as small pieces can be a choking hazard to children. When purchasing from Little Gem Girl, buyer agrees to release seller from any and all liability as buyer is responsible for any and all laws pertaining to your state and country regarding the safety and handling of products and any other legal issues that could arise. If you have questions about our products, please ask before ordering.
