Terms of Service
By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by the following Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before making a purchase.
Overview
This website is operated by a small handmade jewelry business based in California. Throughout the site, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to our business. By visiting our site and/or purchasing something from us, you agree to these Terms of Service.
Products & Availability
All of our jewelry is handmade with care using natural sea shells. Because these materials are natural, each piece may vary slightly in color, shape, and texture, and may differ from the images shown on our website.
Our jewelry is tarnish-free; however, it must be handled with care. While suitable for everyday wear, our pieces may break if dropped, bent, or mishandled. We recommend gentle handling to ensure the longevity of your jewelry.
We reserve the right to limit, modify, or discontinue any product at any time.
Pricing & Payments
All prices are listed in USD and are subject to change without notice. Payment must be received in full before orders are processed and shipped. We use secure third-party payment providers to process all transactions.
Shipping
We ship orders from California within the United States only. Shipping fees, methods, and delivery timelines are outlined in our Shipping Policy. Once an order has shipped, we are not responsible for delays caused by the shipping carrier.
Returns & Refunds
Our Return Policy explains how returns and refunds are handled. By placing an order, you agree to the terms outlined in that policy, including return shipping fees and any applicable refund deductions.
Exchanges
We do not offer exchanges. If you would like a different item, you must place a new order.

All content on this website—including text, images, logos, designs, and graphics—is the property of our business and may not be copied, reproduced, distributed, or used without our prior written permission.
