Shipping Periods
We ship orders Monday - Friday of every week, excluding post office holidays. Processing times for orders received after 3:00PM will be counted on the next week day.
For example, if you place your order after 3:00PM on Monday, the 1-3 day processing time for shipment will begin the next day, Tuesday. You should expect your order to be sent Wednesday through Friday of that week. This is when the shipping period begins.
If you place your order after 3:00PM on Friday, we will not begin processing your order until the following Monday. You should expect your order to be shipped Tuesday through Thursday of the next week. Shipping period begins on day of shipment.
Order Processing Times
Order processing is a key component of order fulfillment. It is defined as the workflow that ensures customer orders are properly prepared and delivered to the right place. This includes, but is not limited to organizing orders, picking inventory, sorting items, arranging any additional materials to be shipped with jewelry (i.e. Influential Woman material, Crystal Cards, Gift Cards with personalized message etc.) packing &/or wrapping, printing shipping labels, & more.
If inventory is readily available, please allow 1-3 days for order processing. All items are readily available unless otherwise noted in the product description.
"Made To Order" Purchases
"Made To Order" products are those that are currently out of stock, however, we have the materials ready. We work to construct & complete all made-to-order purchases 7 days of the week :) Orders placed after 5:00PM should consider their processing times to begin the following day.

"Made To Order" Product Processing Time
If we have the materials to create a new piece we will list the item as made-to-order. The manufacturing time for these pieces will differ depending on type of jewelry, its difficulty level, required materials, etc. Information concerning the potential processing time will be listed in the additional information section located under the product description on the respective product page to ensure you are aware of any extended wait time before purchase.
Once the manufacturing time has passed, please allow an additional 1-3 days per our standard order processing time.
"Out of Stock/Pre-Order" Purchases
If we are sold out of all of the assembled pieces of jewelry of a particular style, as well as the materials required to make more, this product is considered "Out of Stock." When this happens, you are given the option to "pre-order" a pair.
A pre-order purchase will happen in one of two instances -
(1) It may begin the ordering process for the out-of-stock materials or (2) it may occur while we are patiently waiting for a previously placed order to arrive. For this reason, we ask that you allow an additional {product specific} number of days for order placement, reception of materials, & product manufacturing to our standard order processing time.
To calculate the approximate date of arrival for your Out of Stock/Pre-Order purchase use the following equation -
(Pre-Order Period [product specific number of days; ordering period + manufacturing time*]) + (Standard Order Processing Time [1-3 days]) + (Shipping Period [Location dependent number of days]) = Approximate Date of Reception
*Manufacturing periods include all 7 days of the week with the exception of major holidays. If a major holiday falls in this projected time period, please add an extra day.

Multiple Shipping Addresses
If you have multiple shipping addresses for one order please indicate this in the "Add A Note" section at checkout. Please provide all addresses (including the one you have provided through the checkout form) & list which jewelry pieces should be sent to the respective addresses.
Rhipsalis Earrings
Currently, the only exception to USPS First Class Mail is the Rhipsalis Earrings. These earrings are shipped with a live plant. To ensure the plant is not harmed during its journey & is in the box for the least amount of time, these earrings will be shipping Monday - Wednesday of each week & sent with USPS Priority Mail. All orders placed after 8:00AM on Wednesday will be shipped the following shipping period.
For example, if you order the Rhipsalis Earrings on a Monday, they will be shipped the same Tuesday or Wednesday. However, if you order the Rhipsalis Earrings at 10:30AM on Wednesday, they will not be shipped until the following Monday.*
*These processing times are estimated given the earrings are in stock. If they are under "made to order" status, please allow for the indicated processing time.
