The standard two-business-day shipping commitment does not apply to custom, special-order, or made-to-order pieces unless expressly confirmed by the applicable jewelry business.

We will assist in investigating the matter with the carrier and applicable shipping insurer.
Customers should retain all original packaging and documentation if a shipment arrives damaged or appears compromised.
Claims will be reviewed based on the circumstances of the shipment, available documentation, insurance coverage, and applicable consumer protection laws.
