Questions
What makes Temple Mount stones in your jewelry unique?
Our stones originate from 1999 illegal excavations at Jerusalem's Temple Mount, recovered through the Sifting Project. We hold exclusive rights to use these historically significant stones in jewelry designs.
Is it religiously permissible to wear these stones?
Yes. Stones come from Solomon's Stables area, not considered holy ground. Rabbinical authorities confirm permissibility for wear, with inscriptions allowing restroom access.
What warranty protections exist for purchases?
We offer 2-year product warranties and lifetime coverage for natural stone integrity. Exclusions apply for intentional damage or commercial use as specified in our warranty terms.
Can I return or exchange jewelry?
Yes. Unworn items in original packaging qualify for 30-day full refunds or exchanges. Contact us via website, WhatsApp, or email for return processing.
How should I care for my jewelry?
Clean stones with mild soap and soft brush. Avoid water contact as Jerusalem stone is porous and fragile. Store separately to prevent scratches from other jewelry pieces.
What shipping options are available?
We deliver to Israel, US, South America, and Europe with 3-5 business day estimates. Tracking updates provided via email. PO boxes and hotels are excluded from delivery options.
