**AUGUST 2020 SHIPPING ANNOUNCEMENT**

Though I always ship orders ahead of schedule, the USPS has been experiencing MAJOR DELIVERY DELAYS in some cases. This is due to Covid and the recent Government restructuring changes made to the USPS. Though most packages are arriving on time, some may experience a long delay without any rhyme or reason. I wish there were something more that I could do to speed them up, though at this point and time I can only hope for better, better, better!

Currently shipping within the US.

All orders are shipped USPS First Class Mail with Tracking and will be sent promptly, always ahead of schedule. USPS States that packages will arrive within 1-5 days though on average I see them delivered within 3-4 days. Dependent on the length of journey, delivery could take longer than the post office states, though this would be a rare occasion.

Priority Mail Requests: I am no longer able to ship orders via Priority Mail due to daytime employment, time constraints, and a small town post office with minimal hours.

BRASS STAMPINGS: Please note that the majority of the brass pieces used in my jewelry are newly stamped from vintage stamping's, meaning that a piece of brass is pressed over a vintage stamping form and cut. The result is a piece that has taken the raised form of the mold on the front; whereas the back side is a hollowed out reverse image of the stampings' front. Some stamping tools date back to the turn of the the century. I do make jewelry with some vintage finds, and will mention that they are true vintage in those listings.

Please note that earrings are considered "Intimate items" and cannot be returned for health/hygiene reasons)

Cancellations: I have Cancellations set at 1 hour only because I am so quick to ship that that the option to go through an official cancellation process would be impossible. If for any reason you do change your mind after an item has shipped, please let me know and I can advise you of the next step.

CARE OF FASHION JEWELRY

To keep your fashion jewelry looking it's best, it is important to keep it away from:

Perfume
Lotion
Cologne
Hairspray
Cosmetics
Household cleaners
Water (do not wear while swimming, showering or store in a humid environment)

All of these can be harsh on jewelry and compromise the surface and plating.

CLEANING OF RAW BRASS (UNPLATED BRASS ONLY)

Raw brass can glisten like gold, which is why it was ever so popular. Like silver it can tarnish, though is ever so easy to care for. Following are some options for cleaning your raw brass jewelry, just follow the instructions which come with the product:

Brass cleaners. "Wrights" is my favorite.
Sunshine Polishing Cloths do wonders for shine!

Just a couple of minutes is all it takes to return your jewelry to it's lovely golden state. Some may prefer the patina brass acquires over time, it's up to you!
