F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does your jewellery contain nickel or lead?

No, all our jewellery is nickel and lead-free.

Have your jade products been treated or colour enhanced?
No, all our jade products are carved from natural coloured jade stone. No dyes or colour treatments have been applied. Because they are made from natural stone, pieces may have colour variations and contain inclusions. Read more about the grades of jade here.

I have allergies, what material are the posts are on the earrings?

The majority of our earrings have hypo-allergenic surgical steel posts, unless otherwise stated.

I would like to make a purchase, but I don’t have a PayPal account. Can I use a credit card instead?

Yes! PayPal processes payments for our site, but you do not need an account. Simply click the PayPal payment button during checkout, and you will be prompted to enter your credit card number.

I would like to order more of an item than it says are in stock – is this possible?

We usually have more items available in stock than what is listed in our online store. Contact us with how many you need and we will check what we have and can order more in for you if needed.

I would like to order multiple small items, but the estimated shipping costs seem high. Is this right?

We regularly adjust our shipping calculator to give as accurate a rate as possible, but sometimes it doesn’t work out right. If you think this is happening on your order, or it says shipping is not available to your location, please email us and we can manually calculate freight costs for you and give you an estimate before you order.

I saw an item when I was in your store, but don’t see it listed in your online store. Can I still order it?

Yes! We have many more items in store than are listed online. Contact us with a description of the item, and we can let you know if we still have it in stock and arrange shipping.

Shipping to EU Countries

As of July 1, 2021 the EU has implemented changes to the collection of Value Added Tax (VAT) on goods purchased outside of the EU. All orders shipped to the EU must have VAT paid regardless of value. The tax will be collected by the postal service, as well as an administration fee and must be paid upon receipt of the parcel or the parcel is returned to sender. The amount of the administration fee and tax varies by country, so please check your country’s fees prior to ordering so you know what to expect. Refunds will not be issued for orders returned to us due to VAT fees not being paid.
