Custom/personalized items are final sale unless there’s an error on our part. Resizing services are available for select pieces at additional fees.
Do you offer international shipping?

Cleaning methods vary by metal type. Sterling silver may require polishing cloths, while aluminum and copper pieces can be cleaned with mild soap and water.
