We endeavour to reply to your query within one working day, and to prepare your piece for shipping within 3-4 working days, but will advise you of delays beyond this. If you choose upgraded delivery we aim to get your order shipped within 24 hours. We are a micro-business and as such get our hands stuck into every element - at times this may result in short delays particularly as some of our items are made to order, or at busy times of the year. Bear with us as your orders are really important to us and we want to make sure we get it right first time.

Ordering
  • We make some of our pieces to order, and endeavour to get it to you as quickly as we can.

  • When completing the online forms, please take care to input the correct contact and delivery information to ensure your order arrives in a timely fashion.

Our Packaging & Environmental Footprint
  • We don't want to add to waste, and so we designed our packaging to be small, pretty and re-usable.
  • We don't currently have gift boxes, for the above reasons, but we are looking into it and we have been sourcing vintage boxes (which... we may keep because we love them so much!).
  • All of our packaging is sourced in Ireland where possible, or the UK or EU - this is to reduce our shipping footprint. All packaging used is recycled. 
  • We source our findings (this is the terms for jewellery pieces) as close to home as we possibly can, and purchase only from trusted small suppliers. We buy with thought, and will keep our range small because we want you to buy slowly, gently and to buy only what you love.

  • All orders are sent via standard post, unless you choose upgraded delivery.
  • Most orders are posted within 3-4 working days, often much sooner. At certain times of the year there will be slight delays, and you will be informed if this is the case.
  • Even though we take every care to ensure your item arrives in perfect condition sometimes things get damaged. If that is the case, please get in touch straight away, with images of the damage and we'll sort this out as quickly as possible.
