    NEW ⚠️USA tarrifs

    • Beginning in May 2025- Finished products using ANY components* that are made in China, will be subject to tariffs upon delivery (*any item containing one component/raw material manufactured in China renders the entire item as ‘made in China’ - and must be marked as such, for the purpose of tarrifs, as per the CBP. Necklace chains, ear hooks, clasps, etc are all considered components)
    • All U.S. shipments will be subject to “physical verification” of discernable Country of Origin marking. (Aka, your packages are being opened to verify the ‘made in’ sticker is present)
    • If you refuse to pay any additional taxes/tariffs/fees with USPS, your package will be sent for disposal. We cannot provide refunds or replacements for packages that are ‘Return-to-sender’ or refused.

    My package hasn't arrived!

    • Verify that the shipping address was correct.
    • If the tracking is not updating or has not been scanned within 14 days, please contact me.

    It says delivered, but I can’t find it!

    If you are unable to locate your package and it says delivered:

    • Check with other members of your house to see if they picked up the mail and forgot to tell you.
    • Ask the neighbours on each side of your home
    • Check between flyers and junk mail (our packages are small and can be easy to miss!)

    • Contact your local Postmaster
    • If the tracking number indicates the package was ‘Delivered’ unfortunately we are not able offer replacement or refunds.
