Bead and Bones is not responsible for the loss or theft of a package once it has left the studio. Insurance does not cover theft but covers damage due to rough handling via USPS. At this time we do not offer an insurance option for shipping, but if this is something you would like added to your purchase, please send an email prior to ordering to hello@beadandbones.com.
INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS
First Class International mail services are available via checkout. You can expect to receive your order between 2 weeks – 2 months (in rare cases) and is dependent on your country’s custom laws. Unfortunately, this shipping method does not provide a tracking number. Once a package leaves US borders, there is no way to locate it. Please ensure you are shipping to the most secure address available and know that your country may hold your package at customs for an unspecified amount of time.
Every country outside the US will have import taxes and/or duty fees and vary individually. It is your responsibility to be aware of your country’s custom laws as well as your responsibility to pay any additional taxes and/or duty fees attached to importing from the US. Custom laws differ from country to country and some countries will hold your order for pick up. If you decline to retrieve your package from customs within their turn-around time and it is shipped back, it is your responsibility to purchase additional shipping.

Repair fees will be established at the time of receipt or via e-mail if substantial photos can be provided.

- Customers are responsible for shipping costs associated with all returns. It is recommended that packages are insured for the value of the returned item. Bead and Bones is not responsible for jewelry lost or further damaged in the mail. Please ship via USPS Priority Mail or Priority International.

- For repairs being sent from outside the US, please indicate the International Transaction Number or ITN is “NOEEI 30.37(a)”.

Bead and Bones is not responsible for broken or lost stones, however I offer stone replacements for a reasonable replacement fee. If a stone requires replacement, you will be contacted via email. Please be aware that not all stones have an identical replacement.
Due to the nature of Bead and Bones pieces, it is normal for patina to develop over time. In order to ensure your piece maintains its appearance, please avoid sleeping, swimming, or showering while wearing your piece. Avoid colliding or grinding your piece against surfaces, dropping your piece on hard surfaces, and overall rough-handling. Do not attempt to bend or manipulate parts. Take care to store your pieces individually in a sealed, dry place when not being worn. Exposure to air and moisture accelerates the patina process.
Crystals are stone but can be fragile, so extra care should be taken when wearing to maintain quality and appearance.
Should you wish to enquire about repairs due to everyday wear and tear, please email me.
Please note that pieces repaired or modified outside of my studio invalidates the warranty and is subject to additional fees.
I respectfully reserve the right to decline unreasonable repairs.
