Store Policies
Shipping
Orders will be posted within 1-3 business days of having received cleared payment.
- UK shipping is via Royal Mail using their Tracked24 service.
- USA shipping is via Royal Mail using their International Tracked service. Delivery to the USA typically takes around 2-3 weeks. However it can sometimes take a little longer, especially at busy times of year.
If your purchase is a gift going directly to its recipient, please be aware that items sent overseas from the UK require a customs declaration form by law which will show the value of the item enclosed.
Customers ordering from outside the UK may be subject to import duties, fees and taxes which are levied after the package reaches their country, and these are the responsibility of the purchaser.
Payment
Payment must be made in full at the time of purchase and have cleared before your purchase is shipped.
Packaging
All jewellery is beautifully packaged ready for gift giving. Your order will arrive in a rustic linen pouch or recycled Kraft gift box decorated with Japanese washi tape and twine.
All items are well packaged with bubble wrap inside a cardboard postage box or padded envelope, to ensure your jewellery reaches you in perfect condition.
Refunds and Exchanges
I am sure you will be delighted with your purchase! If not, please do not hesitate contact me.
Returns will be accepted within 14 days of receipt for a full refund (excluding postage costs). Please contact me immediately should you wish to return an item. Postage charges will only be refunded if the item being returned is faulty or damaged. Items should be returned in their original unused condition and in the original packaging, if possible. Unfortunately, for hygiene reasons I am unable to accept returns on earrings.
Non-delivery of items should be reported within 21 days.

Additional Policies
Appearance - please note that due to the handmade nature of some components used, from time to time there may be slight variations in colour, size and shape.
I photograph my jewellery in natural light or using professional daylight photography equipment. I aim to represent my products as accurately as possible, however please bear in mind that individual monitors and electronic devices may represent colours differently.
Jewellery Care - To maintain your jewellery and keep it looking good for as long as possible, make sure it is the last thing you put on in the morning and the first thing you take off at night. Keep perfumes and creams away from it as these can damage the finish on beads and metal.
Additional Items - if you require more of a particular item than is listed for sale, please don't hesitate to contact me. Please note that due to the handmade nature of components used, this may not always be possible.
Coupon codes / discounts - from time to time, I offer coupon code discounts in my shop.
