Peacebird Studio Shop Policies:: ***Welcome! Peacebird Studio is celebrating 4 years growing strong! Thank you for your support! My website:: http://www.peacebirdstudio.net facebook page:: http://www.facebook.com/PeacebirdStudio twitter:: http://www.twitter.com/PeacebirdStudio I hope to spread a little peace I enjoy through sharing my creations. I think life is a celebration for enjoying beauty in the everyday and I think art is even better when you can wear it! It is my intention to help you to feel good about what you wear and celebrate the beauty of being uniquely You! "Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground." Rumi ***PAYMENT:: PayPal for all credit card & e-checks!

Please check measurements carefully & read the listing thoroughly and contact Peacebird Studio with any and all questions PRIOR to purchase! I am very reasonable, but I am also an independent artist of handmade goods and cannot & do not compete with big box stores. Some artists have a strict no return policy because we simply cannot compete with big box stores! However, in some cases I understand that an alteration or exchange may be necessary and so I have adjusted my return policy. (Effective 5/29/2011) If you have in mind just to buy & return--please do NOT purchase from me! I reserve the right to refuse to do business with anyone. I stand by the quality of my work and I will not sell nor ship anything in lesser condition than described in order to maintain my own peace of mind. When in doubt, support your local economy! ***ALL BODY JEWELRY (including earrings) is non-returnable for hygienic reasons! (effective 12/24/2011) Otherwise:: ***Returns are accepted ONLY IF: *I receive a convo from the buyer within 3 days of receipt and before feedback is left for the item. *Clothing must be unworn/unwashed. *There is a 20% restocking fee and buyer pays for shipping both ways. *item must be returned undamaged--be sure to package protectively & insure as I am not liable for damage during shipping! *except as noted on individual listings marked "sale final, no returns" ***FAQs:: Custom Orders are welcome for jewelry and clothing!

However, I am not willing to duplicate, replicate or design anything wire for wire since I am not a machine~let's keep it fresh! All of my jewelry is handcrafted with high quality materials, skill and attention to detail to create heirloom quality pieces that will be around for generations with minimal care and cleaning. All of my jewelry arrives in a gift box with cleaning and care instructions! I will send you photos and any other info for your approval prior to shipping. Your item will be shipped within 72 hours of your final approval. Thank you for your time & consideration! Amy Harbison P.O. Box 2062 Petersburg, VA 23804 peacebirdstudio@gmail.com
