Minimum Order

We have a $250 minimum order. Please try to average at least $20.00 per style when ordering. We are not so strict about this but the key word is "average".

Availability

Try to allow for substitution if an item is out of stock since many of our items are hand made and take time to produce if we run out.

Back Orders

We will back order a minimum of $50 worth of an item if you request a back order for that item. Otherwise you can just reorder later when it comes in again. We can special order commercial quantities of 250 gms or more of most items with an average of 2 months advance notice. Production time varies according to country of origin.

Pricing

Please note that items in silver and vermeil vary in weight and price from piece to piece.  The labels on your packages are estimates only.  We may weigh your order in bulk to save time and the total we charge you may be slightly higher or lower.  Most of the items in this catalog are sold by the weight and they have weights listed under the item number, please note that items weigh slightly different piece to piece and production to production so the price may be higher or lower than what is stated..  All other items (those without weights listed) are sold by the piece and have the piece price listed next the item number. Please note that all prices may be subject to change and we are not responsible for typographical errors.

Volume Discounts

If you need very large quantities of a single item, then please call for pricing. A kilo discount is available for customers mixing and matching minimum quantities of findings to attain a 1000-gram order. The kilo discount lowers the price by 10 cents a gram on all categories and gives you 10% off all items by the piece.

Refunds

Items in original condition may be returned within 30 days of receipt, just simply send them back with a note to have us refund your card or your account. No refunds on special orders.

Shipping

We use United States Priority Mail and UPS for shipping and charge standard US Postal and UPS rates plus a $1.50 handling charge. Insurance costs 40 cents per $100 on all parcels.
