We reserve the right to correct errors in product descriptions, pricing, or availability.
Natural variations are not necessarily considered manufacturing defects.
3. Pricing & Payments
All prices are listed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
We reserve the right to modify product prices, promotions, and discounts without prior notice.
Payment must be completed through an approved payment method before an order is processed, unless a separate payment arrangement has been approved.
Orders are subject to payment verification and acceptance.
Applicable sales taxes and shipping fees will be displayed during checkout.
4. Orders & Availability
Placing an order does not guarantee acceptance or availability.
We reserve the right to cancel or limit orders when reasonably necessary, including in cases of inventory discrepancies, pricing errors, suspected fraud, or unauthorized transactions.
If an order is canceled after payment has been collected, a refund will be issued for the canceled items.
Some jewelry pieces are available in limited quantities or may be one of a kind. Inventory is subject to availability.

Please review our full Return & Refund Policy for eligibility requirements, exclusions, and instructions.
These restrictions do not limit applicable rights concerning defective or incorrectly supplied products.
7. Jewelry Care & Product Longevity
Jewelry requires appropriate care to preserve its appearance and condition.
Exposure to water, perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, harsh chemicals, excessive moisture, or improper storage may affect certain jewelry materials and finishes.
The longevity of jewelry depends on its material, frequency of use, environment, and maintenance.
Gold-plated and other finished jewelry may experience gradual changes in appearance over time.
We do not guarantee that every jewelry item will remain free from discoloration, scratches, or signs of wear indefinitely.
Any specific product warranty or guarantee will be governed by its stated terms.
8. Natural Gemstones & Jade
Natural jade and gemstones may contain unique characteristics, including variations in color, transparency, texture, and natural inclusions.
These variations are part of the natural characteristics of the materials and do not automatically indicate a defect.
Customers are encouraged to review product descriptions and contact us with questions before purchasing.
Any specific gemstone grade, treatment, authenticity, or certification claim applies only as described in the individual product listing or accompanying documentation.
9. Custom & Special Orders
Custom, personalized, engraved, and specially ordered jewelry may require additional processing time.
Details, pricing, estimated timelines, and payment arrangements will be communicated before the order is finalized.
Once production or customization has begun, cancellation or modification may not be possible.
Custom and personalized items are generally final sale for change-of-mind returns, subject to applicable law.
