care instructions

Please handle with care, our jewelry is handmade. We use primarily stainless steel, which is tarnish resistant. However, we still advise keeping jewelry away from moisture, allowing perfumes and lotions to dry before wearing, and storing your jewelry in our complimentary Youthful Metals box for safekeeping.

materials 

Stainless steel does contain trace amounts of nickel and may be irritable to sensitive skin. Some items such as earring studs and backing can be substituted for sterling silver, upon request with an additional charge. Contact us for more details.

return policy 

All sales are final. We do not offer returns or refunds for any reason.
