Important Notes Before Purchasing

SHIPPING:

After your order is placed, please wait for a follow up email within 2-3 days with the shipping address and instructions before sending your jewelry. Your order confirmation does not mean you should ship your pieces yet; I'll contact you directly to coordinate the next steps.

Place your jewelry inside a small, secure box, then inside a padded shipping envelope. Use a trackable, fully insured shipping service. Finished pendants are shipped fully insured. Any loss or damage during transit is subject to the carrier’s insurance and claims process and is not my responsibility.

METALS & TESTING:

I accept gold of any karat (9k, 10k, 14k, 18k, 22k, or 24k) in yellow, rose, or white gold, as well as silver.

I’ll test your jewelry before melting it. The karat determined by my testing will be used, regardless of the karat stated, stamped, or believed to be accurate.

Platinum and gold plated jewelry over base metals are not accepted. If testing determines that your jewelry is gold plated over a base metal, such as brass, or contains an unknown alloy that cannot be used, I will be unable to make your pendant. You will receive a refund for your order, minus a 10% processing, testing and logistics fee. If you would like your original jewelry returned, a $20 shipping fee will apply.

WEIGHT:

The weight used for your pendant will be based on the materials actually received at my studio, not any weight reported before shipping.

A minimum of 3gr and a maximum of 30gr of metal is required to ensure a comfortable, wearable pendant size.

GEMSTONES:

If your jewelry contains stones it may extend the production timeline. I will remove them before melting the metal and ship them back to you along with your finished pendant. Incorporating customer provided stones into this pendant is not possible. Please note that stones may be damaged during removal.

MATERIAL:

Some material loss is normal during melting, casting, shaping, and polishing. The finished pendant's weight may differ from the original weight of the jewelry you send. Final weight, size, color, and metal composition will vary depending on the materials and the making process.

LEADTIME:

Your production timeline begins once your jewelry arrives at my studio, not when your order is placed. Please allow approximately 2-4 weeks after receiving your materials for your finished pendant to be ready for shipping.
