If you have allergies to metals, please feel free to contact me with any questions before your purchase. If there is an allergy conflict, I may be able to replace the questionable component.

I will happily refund any unworn purchase (minus initial shipping charges) that does not meet your expectations. Please contact me within 3 days of receipt to arrange for return shipment.

You will be responsible for the cost of safely shipping the item back to me, including delivery confirmation/tracking. Once the item is received in its original condition a refund will be made through PayPal.

*** Since my goal is to sell my jewelry, I would appreciate your time to discuss how I could improve the product you are returning. Being able to connect with the designers is one of the benefits of buying on Etsy! ***

All orders shipped to a Texas address will be charged 8.25% sales tax on the total, including shipping (as required by law).

I accept payment via PayPal. If you don't have a PayPal account, you can make purchases through PayPal using a credit card without having an account. Just select PayPal for your payment option and on the next screen you will be able to enter your credit information without creating an account.

You can also pay for your purchase by eCheck through your PayPal account. Your order will be shipped as soon as the check clears; which usually takes a few days.

Payment is required within 48 hours - please be courteous. I will contact you as a reminder if payment is not made - but if I haven't heard from you, I reserve the right to cancel any order that is not paid and re-list the item(s) so others may have the opportunity to buy.

I currently only ship to addresses in the United States.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I SHIP TO THE BILLING ADDRESS ON FILE OR ENTERED ON PAYPAL DURING CHECKOUT. PayPal cross-verifies the information you entered with your credit card/bank account while keeping your account information private - this helps protect your account from unauthorized use.

Shipments will go out with the next available postal pickup 24 hours after payment is received (generally the next day) - unless an announcement is posted on my storefront. Please allow extra time for weekend and holiday purchases due to postal closings.

US CUSTOMERS: I ship via USPS First Class Mail with tracking confirmation (which is sent to your email address upon shipment). If you would like expedited shipping, please convo me before purchase/payment for additional costs and available methods - especially if you have a deadline.

Most people don't find it necessary to insure small purchases and so to keep shipping costs down, my listings do not include insurance. If you wish to insure your shipment - please convo me before making payment to inquire about additional costs.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Due to increased import restrictions on jewelry shipments by other countries and the extreme shipping costs associated with those restrictions, I no longer ship internationally. If you have concerns...feel free to convo me.

SPECIAL REQUESTS:

I love designing items for my customers. If you have a special request or simply want to change the color or metal of an item I already have listed, please convo me so we can discuss your needs.

If you see something in the SOLD section that you are interested in purchasing, please convo me to inquire about having the item re-created.

BUSINESS LEGALITIES (a necessity of being in business in the USA)...

Please be aware that my jewelry may contain small parts that can be a choking hazard to small children.

California's Proposition 65 and the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA): I use quality items from reputable dealers; however, due to the possibility that children may place items in their mouths and the extensive regulations regarding testing and manufacturing for children, I do not design or sell jewelry that is intended for children.

***You assume all liability for the safety of the children in your care. Please keep all jewelry safely out of reach of little hands.***
