2. Returns & Exchanges
Return notice
- 1.Under the Consumer Protection Act, personal jewelry is considered a personal-use item and is not covered by the 7-day rule. For reasons of personal hygiene, we cannot accept returns or exchanges on non-defective items.
- 2.Returned or exchanged items must be brand new, unused, and in complete original packaging.
- 3.If a return or exchange is requested within 7 days for reasons other than a defect, the round-trip shipping costs must be borne by the customer.
- 4.For the 7-day inspection period, the day the parcel is signed for or picked up counts as day 1.

Returns cannot be accepted in these cases
- Beyond the 7-day inspection period.
- The item has been unsealed and used, or damaged by human factors — such as staining, malfunction, breakage, wear, abrasion, scratches, or dirt. How each person uses a piece affects its lifespan; handmade jewelry is delicate, so please use it with care and do not pull on it.
- Personal reasons such as the item not matching what you imagined — please consider carefully before ordering.
- The returned item's packaging is damaged or incomplete, or accessories are missing.
- Malicious or bulk returns.
- Anything falling within the definition of non-defects.
What is not considered a defect
- Color variation
- Colors may appear slightly different depending on your phone or computer screen; the actual product color prevails.
- Natural aging
- Sterling silver, brass, and similar metals oxidize naturally when exposed to air, which is a characteristic of the material. Some pieces also feature an intentional antiqued finish. None of these are considered defects.
- Metal scratches
- Minor scratches or small dents on the inner surface caused by friction during transit are normal.
- Size tolerance
- Measurements may vary depending on the method used; a difference of 1–2 cm is normal.
- Natural markings
- Natural materials such as pearls, minerals, and crystals have naturally formed markings, so each piece differs slightly; this is not a defect.
- Handcrafting
- All jewelry is handmade, so size, arrangement, and material texture may vary slightly. This is normal and not a defect — please make sure you are comfortable with this before ordering.
Return process
If you receive a defective or incorrect item, please contact us by email within 3 days with photos and a description of the defect. After our team confirms the item's condition, we will arrange a free exchange at no shipping cost to you.
Refund method and processing time
Once both parties confirm that a refund can be processed, we will refund directly to your original payment method (for payments made by Apple Pay / credit card). Interbank processing takes approximately 7–14 days. The time for the refund to appear may vary depending on your credit card's billing cycle; we recommend confirming with your issuing bank.
