TURNAROUND TIME:

My turnaround time varies, but usually I'm able to have your order ready to ship within 2-3 business days. If you need your order to arrive quickly, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE ORDERING to ask if I can accommodate you.


THE NATURE OF HAND STAMPED JEWELRY:

Your hand stamped keepsake was created just for you. No two pieces will be exactly alike because each letter, number, and design is struck with a hammer by hand, not a machine. With that said, while I make every effort for them to be, letters may not be perfectly straight or perfectly spaced, and some impressions may be deeper than others. This is not to be viewed as flaws, but instead as part of the character, charm, and uniqueness of your piece being handcrafted.


CARING FOR YOUR JEWELRY:

I use quality metal when creating your keepsake. Your piece may be made of sterling silver, which will tarnish over time because of the natural process of oxidation that occurs. Your piece can easily be shined back to good as new simply by using a silver polishing cloth to remove light tarnish.

SIMPLE DO's and DONT's:

1. DO store your jewelry in an airtight bag/jewelry pouch.
2. DO store your jewelry in a dark drawer (while in the airtight bag or pouch).
3. DON'T wear your jewelry in the shower, ocean, or pool.
4. DON'T spray perfume, hairspray, or other products while wearing your keepsake.
5. DON'T handle your keepsake unless lotion on your hands has been absorbed.
6. DON'T hang necklaces from hooks that expose it to air, or lie your jewelry on top of
your dresser when you aren't wearing it.

Air, light, water, chemicals, etc. will GREATLY speed up the oxidation process, making your piece tarnish faster, making it necessary to clean it more often.


If you're still reading, THANK YOU!! I appreciate your time, and I look forward to creating your special keepsake!
