5 out of 5 starsShirlee was so helpful in helping us decide on ring width etc. We asked for a replica of a previous ring and it turned out perfectly!

5 out of 5 starsThe ring is perfect. Shirlee made my ring set last year and my partner finally decided to get their own 'adult' ring. There were a couple hiccups, but everything was easily and quickly fixed so no worries there.

5 out of 5 starsLooks and feels really lovely. I would say the brown diamond is a pale brown. Be mindful of the production time as it is accurately described. Shirlee also custom-made my wedding ring a few years ago!

About LichenAndLychee
Custom Handmade Jewelry by Shirlee Grund
In 2010, I started Lichen and Lychee Jewelry to provide a timeless alternative to traditional and mass produced jewelry. Something a little more personal; lux, yet still attainable. My collections offer beautifully crafted wedding and everyday jewelry which are thoughtfully designed to be minimalist, balanced and wearable. Jewelry you can live in - that can transition well, and become wardrobe staples - like your favorite jeans or coziest sweatshirt.

Returns and exchange details
I will gladly accept returns of any In Stock Jewelry - this includes most necklaces, earring, and in-stock rings that have not been resized for you. MADE TO ORDER RINGS are considered custom and are not returnable (see below). To make a return or exchange, please contact me within 7 days of receipt and return the item to me within 14 days.
Items returned must be in new condition in their original packaging. Please return your items by an insured delivery method, with plenty of padding, and retain proof of postage, as I can not be held responsible for goods lost in transit back to me. Refunds will be exclusive of postage costs. Do not ship via UPS.
NOT RETURNABLE
All MADE TO ORDER RINGS are considered custom and are not returnable. Made to order rings have been customized with your choice of stone, gold color, finish and ring size. Resizing is usually possible and exchanges will be considered on a case by case basis and may require a restocking fee. Please order carefully and ask any questions in advance of purchase. If you are unhappy with your purchase, please contact me with in 7 days of receiving your order and I will do my best to help.
Personalized orders are final sale with no exceptions.
RING RESIZING
It's always best to get the sizing right on the first try. If you need help finding your size, please visit my website for a printable size finder. https://www.shirleegrund.com/pages/ring-resizing
If you do end up ordering the wrong size, I am able to re-size most of my ring designs. A $25-65 charge will be required, plus shipping, for most resizing. If it's a small stretch up or an easy fix, I am happy to waive this fee.
HOW TO PACKAGE JEWELRY FOR SHIPMENT:
Please package any jewelry with plenty of padding; the original box in a padded mailer is ideal.
DO NOT SHIP UPS! They do not deliver reliably in my area.
DO NOT send it in a paper envelope designed for letters. The post office will send it through the sorting machine and it will likely be DESTROYED or lost. I will not be held responsible for any damage or loss in transit back to me and will have to charge you for repairs if repair is even possible.
Payment
I also accept payment by check or money order but I do have to wait for the funds to clear before I start working on your order … sorry for the delay.
Etsy automatically collects sales tax where required by law.

First Class Mail
I ship all packages by USPS 1st Class Mail with insurance, tracking and delivery confirmation unless you choose to upgrade to a faster shipping method. First Class Mail is typically delivered to U.S. destinations in 2-3 business days, but this is not guaranteed by the post office and sometimes things take longer. If you need something by a specific date, please consider a shipping upgrade.
Priority Mail
Priority mail service with insurance, tracking and delivery confirmation is an additional $5. Delivery within 2 days in most cases. In my experience, priority mail doesn't get there any faster than 1st class but it is guaranteed by the post office so if you need it by a certain date this might be a better option.
Express Mail
Guaranteed 1-2 day shipping for an additional $20. Includes insurance, tracking and delivery confirmation.
INTERNATIONAL
**Discounted international shipping with insurance. Orders over $400 USD ship priority mail due to USPS requirements.**

Tracking is not available for 1st class mail once the package leaves the US.
Upgrades
Priority and Express mail are both available for an additional fee. Cost and delivery times vary by destination and insured value. If you need something by a specific date, please let me know and I can help you choose the best shipping option.

Any taxes or customs fees are the responsibility of the customer.

Additional policies and FAQs
I offer plastic ring sizers in my shop which are pretty reliable - https://www.etsy.com/listing/74165740 or this free printable download that's great in a pinch or for covert sizing of a ring she already wears - https://www.shirleegrund.com/pages/ring-resizing
CUSTOM DESIGN
Designing for a particular personality is a pleasure and custom orders are welcome. If you see something you like, but it's not just right for you, send me an email and I'll work with you to create the piece of your dreams.
GIFT TAGS & BOXES
I can include a bow and gift tag with your short message written on it upon request. All jewelry is packaged in a gift box.
ETHICAL & CONFLICT FREE STONES
All of the diamond I use are conflict free under the Kimberly Accord and brilliant cut white diamonds are recycled. Gemstones are purchased from reputable dealers, are not synthetic, coated or dyed unless specifically explained in the listing. Natural stones are, however, mined out of a big hole in the earth, creating environmental damage and toxic run off. Lab gown stones cause less harm and can be substituted in many of my designs, often at a lower cost; contact me for pricing.
RHODIUM & GOLD PLATING
Plating is a toxic process that I am unable to use in my studio. None of what you see in my shop is gold plated and white gold is not rhodium plated. Unplated white gold is a warm white, not the chrome color of rhodium.
CARING FOR YOUR JEWELRY:
Jewelry is inherently fragile and should be treated with care. Please do not wear your jewelry in the shower, during extreme physical activity, or expose it to harsh chemicals while washing your hands/dishes. Pearls and softer stones such as turquoise are delicate and should not come into contact with perfumes or hairspray. Oxidation/discoloration can happen to most metals. Please keep your jewelry in a sealed bag or box when not in use. Most jewelry can be safely cleaned with an old toothbrush and mild soap.
PRICES and ORDERS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE and/or CANCELLATION
As the price of diamonds, gemstones and/or gold are constantly changing I reserve the right to cancel any orders placed through this shop that I am unable to,and/or are unwilling to fill, for any reason at my sole and absolute discretion. You will be notified by email should your order have to be canceled. If you are about to place an order for a large volume of items I suggest that you contact me first.
PRIVACY
I occasionally send past customers special offers, discounts, or updates about my shop. If you would prefer not to receive this communication, just let me know at shirlee at shirlee grund dot com
WHOLESALE
Wholesale orders are welcome on select collections. Please convo me for a price list and wholesale policies. All solid gold pieces and wedding rings are priced exclusively for etsy and unavailable for wholesale.
