I accept returns and exchanges on all jewelry with the exception of earrings for pierced ears.
I want you to be happy with your purchase, so please contact me if you feel your piece was not as described. If there is a flaw I did not detect, I will accept a return on that item.
Detailed measurements are provided. I don't accept returns if the item doesn't fit. If you have any questions regarding sizing, please contact me prior to purchasing.
Vintage items may show signs of wear, minor flaws or pilling. Any significant signs of wear are noted in the description.

We accept PayPal and credit card payments through Direct Checkout.

Items are shipped from Canada and oversize mail (to Canada) and Small Packet (to U.S. and international destinations) do *not* include tracking. If you would like to have tracking including with your shipment, please choose an upgraded shipping option at checkout.

I try to be as environmentally responsible as possible. So if you order more that one item they will often be combined into one bag or box. If you would like them to be separately packaged for gift-giving, please leave a note at check-out letting me know.

Business days quoted below are Monday through Friday, not including the day of shipment.

US and International orders: As legally required, the value in Canadian dollars is ALWAYS included on the shipping label for customs purposes.

Rush orders are sometimes possible for an additional cost. Please contact me for more information prior to placing your order.

Some photos are taken on macro settings for detail, and items may appear larger than they actually are. Detailed measurements are provided for each item. We measure clothing items flat and double the flat measurement. Lengths and sleeve lengths are not doubled. The best way to see if something will fit you is by comparing the measurements to something similar that you already own. If you are wondering about fit, please contact us with any questions.

We do our best to ensure that colors are represented accurately, but different computer screens may show colors differently.

Items are washed or steam-cleaned, as necessary, before shipment. Cleaning of furs and most leather is left up to the buyer. We recommend that you clean all items before wear.

None of the jewelry sold in this shop is intended to be used by children.

14K GOLD FILL / 14K ROSE GOLD FILL:
Gold fill is made up of a solid layer (5% total weight) of karat gold bonded to a base metal core with heat and pressure. Far more durable than plated gold, gold fill is a wonderful, economical alternative to solid 14k gold.

Sterling silver and gold used in Zhivana Designs handmade jewelry is sourced either from Hoover & Strong (100% recycled) or Rio Grande (over 85% of gold is recycled).

In addition, scrap metal is saved and returned to a company that recycles it.

All items are made in a non-smoking, pet-free, music-filled environment.
