Hello and welcome to my Sweden-based international web-shop!

All items for sale are designed and hand made by me. Each item is unique as I sculpt or build each and every one from scratch.

Please contact me if you have an idea for an item you think that I could make especially for you - and we'll talk about it.

Accepted payment methods

Paypal Visa Mastercard Discover Apple Pay Klarna Giftcard
Accepts Etsy Gift Cards and Etsy Credits

Returns & exchanges

See item details for return and exchange eligibility.

Cancellations

Cancellations: not accepted

Please contact the seller if you have any problems with your order.

Payment

You can pay by PayPal or credit card.
If you do not have a PayPal account it is still possible to pay using your credit card through PayPal when you check out.

Please note that the buyer is responsible for any and all additional duties or custom fees incurred in the shipping of international orders.

VAT:
It used to be that we as sellers on Etsy could specify countries where an additional VAT (sales tax, moms) would be charged (from customers in EU-countries) - but Etsy has taken away this function. Thus there is now such tax on my listings, but I still have to pay 25% in tax on all my EU sales. For this reason I will have to raise my prices slightly. Not with 25% and thus the level they are here in Sweden, but by half ... in a Robin Hood kind of fashion.

I am in an ongoing argument with Etsy, trying to understand why they took this function away but most of all trying to make them reinstate it.

Shipping

I will ship within 3-4 days after payment, unless I have made an "out of town" announcement in my shop window.

All shipments are made using the most economical variety of the Swedish postal system, and their delivery times are approximately:
within Sweden - 2 days
within Europe - 3-7 days
everywhere else: 5-10 days

The cost of 'trackable' shipping is quite high here, compared to regular shipping, and therefore I do not automatically ship this way.
You are able to pay extra in order to get a tracking number - as an international shipping upgrade - when you check out. For items weighing under 250 grams (most of the items in the shop) this amounts to 70 kr (app. 7 usd) extra.
(If you chose this option it may be that you have to sign for the package when it arrives. This varies depending on the specific procedures of the postal system in your particular country.)

I take a lot of care to package the items well to avoid breakage.
If for some unlikely reason your package is damaged, or lost, I cannot be held responsible - however, let me know if this is the case and we will sort something out.

Additional policies and FAQs

Wholesales:
If you would like to sell my items to others, I am open to discuss this further - please let me know.
If you would like to use my Venuses for your own necklace making business, please contact me and we will discuss the details.

Returns:
According to EU law I have to accept returns of bought items if the buyer contacts me within 14 days of recieving the item, and so I do. Note: The buyer pays for the return shipment, however, and is required to do so with equal amount of care and bubblewrap as to guarantee that the item does not break during this shipping. Should the item break during the return shipping then the return transaction is voided and the customer will have to accept the purchase of said item. The money returned is the cost for the item - not the shipping - and the transfer takes place when the item is whole and safe with me again.
