Made-to-Order Items (Limited changes to existing designs)

• Payment Terms:
  • 50% deposit required to begin your order.
  • The remaining 50% is due once all design changes are finalized. Production will not begin until the balance is paid.
• Cancellations:
  • Cancel within 48 hours of finalizing the design and making the balance payment to receive a refund, minus a 10% restocking fee.
  • No cancellations or refunds are allowed after 48 hours.

What Counts as Made-to-Order?

These are custom pieces that are based on an existing design, but include small modifications such as changing stone types or choosing different colors.  Resizing a ring to a size smaller than 5 or larger than 9 is not possible and therefore sizes outside of 5-9 will be considered "made-to-order." Gemstones for made-to-order items are hand-selected to complement each design. While we strive to find the closest match, exact duplicates may not always be possible

Custom Items

• Consultation: Enjoy a free, 30-minute initial consultation with Julie to discuss your vision.
• Design Fee: A non-refundable deposit is required to begin the design process. The deposit will be credited toward the final cost if you proceed with your order. Deposits are typically $500, however they may be less depending on the project complexity and total cost.
• Payment Terms:
  • Once the design is complete, payment in full is required to begin production.
• Cancellations:
  • Cancel within 48 hours of making your payment for a refund, excluding the design deposit.
  • After 48 hours, custom orders are non-refundable.

What Counts as Custom?
Custom items involve new designs made through a collaborative process with Julie. Your design may be entirely unique or it may draw inspiration from an existing design. Learn more about our Design Process.

Additional Considerations

Split Payments and Installments

ShopPay Installments are available on our website to break your order into periodic payments. For the made-to-order deposit or the design deposit, we will send you a PayPal invoice. Initially, installments can not be set-up for these deposits, however, once you are ready to move forward we can either invoice you through our website for the balance and you can set up installments for that amount OR we can invoice you the total amount including the deposit amounts, you can set up installments for the total amount, and we will refund your PayPal payment of the deposits.  

International Orders

Please note that international customers are responsible for currency exchange fees, taxes, and duties. Payments are processed in USD.

Changes After Order Placement

Once production begins, further design or sizing changes may not be possible. Please ensure all details are finalized before confirming your order.
