IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT NATURAL MATERIALS & HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY

Natural Gemstones & Materials:
• Natural gemstones (such as moonstone, labradorite, turquoise, pearls, etc.) will vary in color, texture, inclusions, and transparency. This is a normal characteristic of natural materials and is NOT considered a defect or quality issue.
• Natural gemstones display different appearances under different lighting conditions (natural sunlight, indoor lighting, LED lights, etc.) due to their optical properties.
• Each natural gemstone is unique. Slight variations from product photos are normal and expected.

Antique & Ancient Materials:
• Ancient Roman glass, antique amber, and other historical materials are completely unique pieces.
• Due to their age and natural formation process, color, size, and texture will vary significantly from photos.
• Photos are for reference only. Actual products will have similar style but will not be identical.

Handcrafted Items:
• Handmade jewelry may have slight variations in details. This is a characteristic and value of handcrafted artisan work.
• Minor asymmetry or subtle differences are not quality issues.

Product Photography:
• Product photos are professionally taken to showcase the beauty of our jewelry.
• Actual products may vary slightly from photos due to lighting, angles, and screen display settings.
• We provide multiple angle photos for your reference.

NOT CONSIDERED QUALITY ISSUES

The following situations are normal characteristics and NOT considered defects or quality issues:
• Natural variations in materials (color depth, texture, inclusions, etc.)
• Gemstones appearing different under various lighting conditions
• Minor variations in handcrafted items
• Personal aesthetic preferences (such as "don't like the color" or "different from imagination")
• Minor color differences between photos and actual items

You may still return items for these reasons within 30 days, but return shipping costs will be your responsibility. We recommend contacting us first to discuss your concerns.
