♥ Refunds and Returns

Please read the items description carefully before making your purchase. I make every effort to accurately represent my items through photos and descriptions so my customers know exactly what they are purchasing. I provide measurements on request, so it is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that the item will fit properly.

Personalized & Custom Orders: All Personalized and Custom Made items are carefully handmade just for you! Unless I made the errors such as misspelling names or sending wrong items, there are NO REFUNDS/NO RETURNS for custom made and personalized orders. Any item that has been modified at your request is non refundable or returnable.

I will only issue a refund or exchange items that have not been customized. The jewelry must be returned unworn and undamaged in their original AWL Jewelry packaging within 7 days of receiving the jewelry. The customer is responsible for shipping the package back to AWL Jewelry, and will be credited in full with the deduction of the initial shipping cost once the item has been received.

Every package is shipped via USPS, insured, with tracking and delivery confirmation. If unfortunately your package is lost/stolen/damaged in transit, AWL Jewelry will only be able to issue refund on the sold item once the insurance is successfully claimed from the postal service.

My goal is to provide you with an excellent shopping experience. I love my customers and try to do everything I can to give you great service.

HOW TO PREVENT TARNISH ON STERLING

Due to sterling silver’s properties, all sterling silver jewelry will tarnish over time. Contact with oxygen, sweat, perfumes, salts, and chemicals accelerate this reaction. People with a high acidic PH will see a faster tarnishing on silver than people with an alkaline PH. The speed of the tarnishing process may be controlled by following these easy steps:

-Do not rub lotions or spray perfumes while wearing your jewelry.

-Take your jewelry off when cleaning. Chemicals will tarnish your jewelry black.

-Always store your jewelry in an oxygen and humidity free environment. Place it in a bag, sealed box, or container.

-Never leave your jewelry in the bathroom.

-If you perspire heavily, sweat will turn your piece black overnight. Acidic PH will cause your sterling silver to tarnish at a higher speed than people with an alkaline PH. Please contact me if you would like your piece rhodium plated before use. The coating will protect and prevent your sterling from tarnishing as quickly.

-Use anti-tarnish strips or polishing cloths to prevent your piece from turning black.

FEEDBACK:
I do not consider a transaction complete until you are 100% satisfied! Positive feedback helps my small business grow and I am very appreciative of a 5 star review. Although 4 star reviews are good generally speaking, in the Etsy platform, it can have very negative consequences for a seller's shop.

Please contact me if you have a questions/concerns with your order and give me the opportunity to remedy any situation (if any should arise) for you before leaving feedback.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to convo me at any time! I check my messages a few times a day and I assure you you'll get a response quite promptly. :)
