Yes, as much as we possibly can! We purchase my silver from only reputable suppliers that purchase from secondary refiners (they don't mine but work with recycled metals). 

We purchase almost all of my stones directly from the miners/miner's families, small family businesses and lapidary artists. We choose to support other artists and individual people. We also do lots of in-house lapidary and purchase lots of our materials locally- much during the gem shows that go on here in Tucson.

All of our shipping box packaging is made from recycled materials, and it is 100% compostable and recyclable. We also reuse packing materials as much as possible!

While we strive to only use the highest-quality materials, how you care for your jewelry will greatly increase its longevity. Some stones, more than others, are more susceptible to breakage. Damage can possibly occur to the stone if it is mishandled or if it suffers any trauma—is dropped, bumped, etc. Please remember to remove your jewelry before bathing/showering, swimming, working with harsh soaps, lotions, or any chemicals.

Direct sunlight or extreme temperatures can also cause damage to natural stones. Please be aware of this when storing your pieces. 

While we do all I can in the design and construction to make the stone as safe and secure as possible, proper care and respect on your end will ensure it will last.

Due to the talismans' shape/style, please be extra careful, especially. They are completely secure on their own, but mishandling/dropping could easily cause a break to the natural crystals/minerals used.

 If your piece needs to be cleaned, we recommend using a mild soap (we use Dr Bronners) with a soft bristle toothbrush.

Sterling silver is a metal that will tarnish and react to its environment. Proper storage can help prevent this. Keeping your silver in an airtight container is best, as the air and humidity can really speed up tarnish. Wearing your pieces as much as possible will help keep them tarnish free- your skins natural oils actually help protect it from tarnish. Polishing occasionally will help remove any dullness or tarnish. Sunshine polishing cloths are really great to give your piece a quick polish- available for purchase in the shop!

Most items in the shop (not made to order) ship within a week.

Talismans will also ship within a week. We wait to close all the jumprings until after the sale in case anyone wants the length changed. So, we adjust lengths and we weld all the rings after purchase. 

If you need it expedited, we can do that too- just reach out!

All MTO (made to order) items are made and shipped within 6-8 weeks of being ordered, unless otherwise noted. We get lots of orders for MTO and sometimes supply issues can slow production down a bit, but we do our best to get them out to you in that 6-8 week range.

A shipping confirmation will be emailed to you when your item ships.

We are not currently accepting custom orders. We do not have a waitlist. 

Things happen. We do our best to make my jewelry as resilient as possible, but if, for some reason, a piece purchased from us needs repair or a stone replaced, we will do my best to work with you for a solution. Some repairs we cannot accommodate, such as sizing down rings or lengthening cuffs. Feel free to contact us for all inquiries! We do not do repairs on pieces not made by us.

 Please refer to the SIZING section for info on resizing.

We offer free polishing/ re-oxidizing (darkening) of any of my pieces free of charge! We just ask that you cover shipping and insurance to and from, and we'll have your piece shining like new in no time!

  

We can hold an item for an agreed upon time- only after the item has been listed for at least 24hrs.
