My policies are intended to make your shopping experience clear and enjoyable. I usually ship the next working day (Mon-Fri) after receiving your order and payment. Please allow an extra 5 days (10 days) for orders paid by personal check in order for bank clearance. Regarding International shipping: I will do my best to ship to you, but if your country prohibits or restricts jewelry, I will contact you and give you a refund. Payment by personal check or money order is accepted for purchases under $100.00. About PayPal: You don't have to have a PayPal account to make a purchase through PayPal. PayPal accepts most credit cards. This makes your shopping easy and secure! I also accept Amazon Payments. Shipping charges will be refunded to customers who prefer to pick up their order, rather than have the item shipped. I am willing to ship internationally. If you don't see a shipping price, or your country is not listed, please contact me and I will get right back to you. Any customs fees are the buyer's responsibility. I will do my very best to ship to you, but if your country prohibits or restricts my jewelry, I will refund your money. If for any reason you find that the item is not what you wanted, please contact me within 10 days of purchase so I can arrange a return. After 10 days, I will not accept any returns or exchanges. It is important to me that you are satisfied with the item. Returned items must be in original condition. Sorry, but I do not reimburse for shipping costs. Please contact me regarding any special requests or commissions.
