Due to the custom + handmade nature of our accessories, pieces take time to create! They’re a labor of love and often pass through multiple hands before getting to you. From design, crafting, and finishing touches, our accessories are meticulously handled and take time to reach the quality level we strive to meet. This is why most earring orders take 4-6 weeks and other timelines can be upwards of 10 weeks.

All domestic orders are shipped via UPS Ground unless otherwise requested. All international orders are shipped via USPS or UPS Expedited International (unless otherwise requested).
