DOMESTIC
Processing times depends on each item. USPS Shipping time DOES NOT include processing time. Priority mail is a service offered by USPS. This doesn’t mean orders are handled faster on my end. Orders get processed in the order they are received. If you need an order out ASAP please message me first.

INTERNATIONAL
When a package ships internationally, it may be subject to import taxes, customs duties, and/or fees imposed by the destination country. These charges are typically due once the package arrives in the destination country. 
Generally, the buyer is responsible for paying customs duties on receipt of the package.

Int’l orders may take 1-4weeks or more for delivery.
I am not responsible for delays due to customs.

Sustainable packaging can include reused packaging material or supplies that you can reuse as well.
I support Etsy shops and small businesses over Amazon whenever possible.

Keep in mind that raw brass may patina naturally over time.
Keep in a cool dry place. Avoid contact with perfumes, body oils, and other chemicals. Wipe with a jewelry cloth to keep it clean. Care with natural household items include using baking soda and lemon juice.
Feel free to google options that work for you.

Each piece is slow made with love and care from beginning to end. I hand mix colors, design, craft, bake, sand, polish and assemble every pair. I also do the photography, modeling, listing, social media and customer service =]
Please allow for slight variations with colors, minor bubbles, fingerprints etc as these are all handmade.

Polymer clay is lightweight, durable and slightly flexible
but may break if dropped or bent. Take extra care with
3D pieces as they may chip.

Gold leaf items and other items listed as “sealed” or “top coated” are finished with either a satin glaze that may be chipped if scratched or picked or UV resin.

To extend the life of your jewelry, apply perfume, oils and
hairspray beforehand. Store in a cool, dry place and away
from anything that may scratch it. Please remove
prior to sleeping, bathing, swimming, and exercising.

Makeup and debris can be removed with baby wipes or a
damp cloth. Please don’t use acetone.

Polymer clay earrings are super lightweight and durable. My lightest earrings are 0.1oz and my “heaviest” are 0.6oz. For reference, a quarter weights 0.2oz.
