Tracking
Once your order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing your tracking number and a link to follow your package. If you don't see it within the expected dispatch window, check your spam folder or contact us.
Insurance & Special Handling
All orders are packed securely to protect your jewelry in transit. Higher-value pieces(over $50) are insured and international shipments may be shipped with carrier insurance or declared value coverage. If you have specific insurance or signature-confirmation requirements, please note them at checkout or get in touch before your order ships.
International Orders - Duties & Taxes
International shipments may be subject to import duties, taxes, and customs fees imposed by your country. These charges are the responsibility of the recipient and are not included in your order total or shipping cost. We recommend checking with your local customs office if you have questions about potential fees before placing your order.
