🔴🔴🔴IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT MY SHOP 🔴🔴🔴
🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻
_______________________________________________
🟪 ORDER PROCESSING AND SHIPPING:
▪️I set the MAXIMUM processing time of 3-4 weeks but it is not always required for every order and the time always varies depending on the number of orders I have to work on, possible delays occurring due to my chronic illness which limits my ability to work, so I am able to work only part time. Sometimes I need to order materials or jewelry settings or I am working on a solid gold item, which requires extra time to make. I work alone, so please be understanding and patient: rushing a handmade item is NOT a good idea, because you might compromise the quality of your item.
▪️I DO NOT REPLY EVERY 24 HOURS!
It says that under my profile but I will respond to your message whenever I am working and when I am able to do it. The time can be 5 minutes or 5 days - my situation creates an unpredictable schedule, so due to time lost on having to take frequent breaks, I never have enough time to do everything I want to, so I have to prioritize on tasks such as fulfilling and shipping orders being the most important and proceeding to replies, inquiries etc.,
▪️PLEASE ALWAYS LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC DATE FOR YOUR ORDER TO BE DELIVERED BY. I can rush one or two orders almost at any time, so please do not keep this to yourself, because if I do not know anything about your order, I will act on the assumption that there are no time restrictions for your order and ship it anytime between 1 week or close to 4 weeks. I will not be able to accommodate your request later when you notify me of the order being time sensitive a day before the deadline. Keep in mind that it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE ME WITH THIS INFORMATION. I will not issue a refund for your order if you failed to inform me of an existing deadline.
▪️Your package will include a printed copy of “Care Instructions" sheet, a highly effective specialized microfiber polishing cloth to maintain your jewelry clean and bright without having to use liquid chemical cleaners, which cannot be used with natural opal.

🟢 OPAL CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

▪️ I ship my orders with USPS First Class Mail as a FREE SHIPPING default option or I might upgrade orders to USPS PRIORITY MAIL;
Decision to upgrade the shipping method is entirely up to my sole discretion and cannot be expected or relied upon for every order.

🟪THE LIMITATIONS OF RUNNING MY SHOP ON MY OWN:
▪️I work alone, and I have a chronic illness (stress-related chronic fatigue + possible fibromyalgia) limiting my ability to work, so I HAVE TO take breaks between working periods to recover and get back to my store after a few days up to one week....This has been my schedule for the past few years, and because of this I cannot keep my shop running as well as I would like it to.
▪️If I do not reply to your message for a few days, please be patient and try to understand that I am doing my best to handle so many issues with running my store, and I have to prioritize on what is the most important task to less important things and really ration the time I have juggling multiple tasks, so I am chronically overwhelmed and trying to keep up - all of it because I do not control when I might have to stop again and never finish things I have on my to do list ....
This is so frustrating for me, and I always apologize for replying back late and trying to explain my situation.....
▪️I finally decided to address this publicly hoping that people would read this paragraph and understand that a few days to a week delay with responding to messages is normal for me Unfortunately, I do not have anyone else to assist me with a faster customer service, and every little thing has to be done by me on my very limited time I apologize in advance for the inconvenience and I want to assure you that MESSAGES ARE NEVER IGNORED, BUT CAN BE PUSHED DOWN OCCASIONALLY, SO PLEASE BUMP YOUR MESSAGE IF YOU DON'T HEAR FROM ME IN A WEEK OR MORE.
▪️Not having enough time or energy to work made me take a different look at a return policy, so I made it more limited when it comes to the returns requested for "subjective" reasons when I have nothing to do with the reason why the item is returned.
__________________________________________________________________
🟪DELAYS CAUSED BY USPS, INACCURACIES WITH TRACKING INFORMATION AND ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE:
▪️SHIPPING DELAYS WITH USPS HAVE BECOME “NORMAL”:
- due to COVID 19 and the length of delay is unpredictable ranging anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks for First Class Mail and up to 1 week for Priority Mail.
- due to ALL major holidays;
- due to the internal USPS issues with lack of funding and not enough staff
▪️ It has come to my attention that the TRACKING INFORMATION gets updated with a DELAY OF MINIMUM 2 DAYS TO 1 WEEK before it synchronizes with Etsy, and during this time packages appear to be in “Pre-Shipment” stage showing that I never took them to the post office at all, despite me watching those specific packages get accepted by scanning the barcode right in front of me a couple of days before.....
This problem has been happening for more than a year by now, and it caused me tremendous amount of negative feedback and complaints from customers during holidays, because they were assuming that I didn’t ship their orders according to the available tracking information....
Please allow a few days at least for the tracking information to sync.
▪️Also, the ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE provided by Etsy in the same email notification that contains the tracking information for your order, is HIGHLY INACCURATE. It doesn’t take into account important outside factors such as COVID 19 delays or major holidays causing the USPS to become overwhelmed due to the increased volume of mail and have very unpredictable and significant delays.
The Estimated date is calculated based on standard shipping times and only misleads the customers, who expect their packages to be delivered on that date, which is absolutely unrealistic and this leads customers to presume that I failed to ship their orders on time due to having poor customer service standard if it takes place during any holiday rush shipping;
PLEASE DISREGARD THE ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE PROVIDED TO YOU WITH TRACKING INFORMATION - delivering your order by that date is not feasible in the current situation.
▪️During regular time without holiday shopping pressure I often print out the labels in advance, and ship orders over time during the next several weeks, so that estimated delivery date is going to be way off, and I am used to simply ignoring it. But during the times of pandemic or when time is a factor people tend to pay attention to that date, and it is generated automatically after shipping label is printed and literally means nothing in terms of accuracy.
▪️ AS LONG AS THE PACKAGE IS SHIPPED BEFORE THE END OF WEEK 4 OF MY PROCESSING TIME ,AND IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY TIME SENSITIVE INSTRUCTIONS, IT IS CONSIDERED TO BE SHIPPED “ON TIME” - according to my general processing time.

🟪 OPAL PHOTOGRAPHY NUANCES - PLEASE READ!
▪️Opal is very unique and colorful gemstone like no other. EVERY OPAL IS CHANGING COLORS CONTINUOUSLY IN RESPONSE TO THE LIGHT ANGLE OR INTENSITY.
This makes photographing them extremely difficult, so YOU MUST READ THIS to learn some typical properties of this gem and KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR OPAL JEWELRY AND HOW TO BEST CARE FOR IT.
▪️As much as they are beautiful natural opals are extremely difficult to represent objectively on photos and sometimes on video as well. This can result in a potential dissatisfaction on behalf of a customer because they might have different expectations from their purchase, because opals are such tricky chameleons.
▪️Please keep this in mind when you are looking through the available items, because the item you will receive WILL definitely look different from the listing photos, which is ABSOLUTELY NORMAL. Even if the two opals have the same quality and brightness - they still will offer their own unique way of interacting with the light, which is what defines the Opal and gives it its "personality". Most listings contain photos of a few very similar opals unless indicated otherwise. You will receive an opal that looks very very close to the ones pictured in the listing photos.
▪️Black opals are PREDOMINATELY DARK gemstones and wont appear as bright as the listing photos due to their dark overall base tone, but the play of color will come to life during movement as the stone interacts with different lighting settings and you can see it from various angles. To see the best play of color in your opal please take it to direct light source such as a table lamp and enjoy the transformation.
Black opal will look much brighter under strong light and much duller under natural light. Opal is always changing and never shows the same colors with the same level of brightness - it is always in motion and looks entirely different every second.
Red colored fire will not turn a black opal into a garnet - it is a BLACK opal, so please be prepared that the beauty of this gemstone is going to be SUBTLE but quite fascinating in its own very unique way.

▪️Each item I create is always made with care, attention and love. This started as a passion and not as a business, and I am really trying bring that passion into my work at every level and in every aspect.
I really appreciate the opportunity to bring something joyful and beautiful into other people's lives: it is exhilarating to know, that something I made would mean so much for another person who would carry that piece of jewelry as a symbol of a life changing moment or a precious memory that they will carry with them through years.
This is an amazing experience for me as well - another beautiful example of the interconnectedness of all things in the Universe.

1-4 weeks
I'll do my best to meet these shipping estimates, but can't guarantee them. Actual delivery time will depend on the shipping method you choose.
Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. I'm not responsible for delays due to customs.
Just contact me within: 3 days of delivery
Ship items back to me within: 7 days of delivery
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
Because of the nature of these items, unless they arrive damaged or defective, I can't accept returns for:
Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.
- If you are dissatisfied with your item due to my negligence, forgetfulness, oversight or confusion I GUARANTEE YOUR MONEY BACK IN CASE I MADE A MISTAKE WITH YOUR ORDER. Just let me know what happened, make sure the item is UNWORN, in its original condition, WITH A SIGNATURE TAG STILL ATTACHED and provide photos or description of the problem, and I WILL REIMBURSE YOU OR WILL PROVIDE A FREE EXCHANGE or REPAIR.
For gold jewelry I can only provide a sufficient repair to correct the issue. Gold jewelry is not refundable unless the item is significantly damaged and it is my direct fault.
Earrings and custom orders are non refundable. Earrings fall under the category of personal items and can't be returned for hygienic reasons.
I set the MAXIMUM processing time of 3-4 weeks but the exact time required to fulfill an order varies greatly depending on a combination of multiple factors both objective and personal.
▪️Processing time is different from the delivery time, which is specified for every shipping method. Upgrading your shipping method to Express does not change the processing time, so if you need your order ASAP, you will have to contact me with a request to expedite your order and make sure that I have received your request and confirmed that I will be able to make your order by the required deadline
▪️I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHIP ALL ORDERS AS SOON AS I CAN, BUT IT IS BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO TIMELY PROVIDE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION REGARDING ANY DEADLINES
Opal jewelry is EXTREMELY FRAGILE and cannot come in touch with any liquid including water.
Please make sure you DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR OPAL JEWELRY TO WATER!
- Do not wash hands, take shower, do strenuous activity, run errands, clean the house or exercise with opals still on.
- Take off before bed and clean and buff the metal parts regularly to avoid using chemical cleaners.
- Micro paved Jewelry cannot be placed into an ultrasonic Jewelry cleaner due to the shaking, which might cause the tiny stones to fall out.
-Jewelry damaged due to not following the care instructions IS A FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER AND CANNOT BE RETURNED, EXCHANGED OR REIMBURSED.
-“care tips” card is provided with your order.
- YOUR JEWELRY WILL AND SHOULD LOOK DIFFERENT FROM THE LISTING PHOTOS EVEN IF THE PHOTOS ARE TAKEN OF THE ACTUAL OPAL
- The truth about this gemstone is that its uniqueness, its ever changing play of color, its brilliance, color intensity or fire pattern cannot be captured on a still image. A natural fire opal can look green on one photograph and red on the other with every subtle change in light angle or its intensity.
- There is a SIGNIFICANT amount of attenuation present when you look at an opal under natural daylight compared to its artificially exaggerated brilliance seen under the artificial indoor light;
- it is NORMAL for opals to change their appearance, so please keep this in mind that even the same opal NEVER LOOKS THE SAME!
I use only high quality precious metals and natural gemstones in creating my jewelry. The quality standard for this shop is set to be especially high.
I use my best quality stones for creating items offered at this shop, so each and every item is not only made to order but is typically made with perfect or nearly perfect gemstones, with excellent time consuming level of craftsmanship seen in each unique design.
▪️I do not use stock photos for a reason: I design everything myself, and take my own photos of the items upon completion of the item so you can be sure that the jewelry sold through this store is going to look exactly as pictured with the exception of gemstones, which are all unique and will never look the same.

THANK YOU SO MUCH I ABSOLUTELY ADORE IT IT FIT PERFECTLY AND SHINES LIKE A BLACK SUN. The picture I took does not do this piece justice. 111/10 WOULD RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE!

I don’t leave a lot of reviews but I must say the jewelry is absolutely beautiful!!! I messaged her about stone colors and she help match up a stone with the colors I wanted and the seller does take pride in her work and does want her customers to be 100% happy with their order!!! my ring set came and there was a little imperfection with the stone it wasn’t to easy to notice but I did so I messaged her about it and she said no problem I’ll fix it and sent a shipping label and she replaced the stone on my ring and did get it back to me. 99% of the time she reply’s in a timely manner usually no longer than a day I definitely recommend thank you for the beautiful ring and gift!!
Sep 1, 2020
Super nice! She even sent me a preview of my ring before she sent it out which was so thoughtful! I’ve been wearing it everyday since July and it’s still perfect!
