I offer ready to ship and also made to order designs - shipping times for each is vastly different. Most ready to ship designs will ship within a few days of payment. Made to order can take up to a month to produce. Please read descriptions carefully and ask any questions you might have.
** IGNORE the delivery time mentioned by ETSY in your purchase record - it is WRONG and is not being updated by Australia Post**
I respectfully ask that if you are not prepared for delays with your parcel arriving, caused by postal handling agencies still not recovering from covid shortages, you should postpone your shopping until another time.
Please message me with any questions you have - I am only too happy to help out. The pandemic impacts small business more so than large - thank you for your continued support and patience which enables me to continue to design and create your unique adornments.

Frequently asked questions
Made-to-order items - refund, exchange
There are no refunds or exchanges for made-to-order items. If a made-to-order item is faulty in any way, I will replace or repair it if I can. 'Made-to-order items' includes all cast components.
Cancelling orders
If you mistakenly purchase something from my store I can only process a cancellation if you notify me within 24 hours of purchase. After this time cancellations are not possible as order processing has begun, irrespective of the order status shown by Etsy.
About chains
I offer a wide range of reproduction pieces sold as a necklace, with a silver chain. Please note that the chain shown in the photos is not necessarily the chain you will receive. I will offer something very close, but as my designs were developed and photographed many years ago, chain styles come and go. I often cannot get the same chain as you might see in the photos. I will however offer the right style and weight of chain for the design.
