Duties & Taxes

Duties and taxes for import are not included in purchase price or shipping rate, as they can vary from country to country. Any such fees that might be incurred, including additional charges for items returned due to unpaid customs fees, are the sole responsibility of the customer.

Please be aware that we do not offer refunds for orders returned due to lack of payment of import fees. Additionally, return and reshipment costs will be charged to the customer.

Order Cancellations

Because our jewelry is made to order, we do not accept order cancellations beyond 24 hours of order placement.

If you have changed your mind about your order, please notify us within 14 days of order placement to receive store credit at the value of your original order.
