Frequently asked questions

Is my piece ready to ship or made to order?

Each product page says which. A piece marked “In stock, ready to ship” is on our shelf and leaves the gallery within 1 to 3 business days. A piece marked “Made to order” is chosen and strung for you once you order and ships in 3 to 4 weeks. Bespoke designs from a custom consultation follow their own timeline, typically 4 to 6 weeks.

How long will my order take to process and arrive?

Pieces in stock are typically processed within 1 to 3 business days; made-to-order pieces ship in 3 to 4 weeks. Standard domestic shipping takes 5 to 7 business days following dispatch. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout.

What is your return and exchange policy?

Unworn pieces in their original packaging can come back for a full refund to your original payment within 14 days of receiving your order, or for full store credit within 30 days. To start a return, contact the gallery or bring the piece to our Bellevue gallery. Custom and altered pieces are final sale.

The full terms are in our refund policy.

How should I clean and care for my pearl jewelry?

Remember the rule: “Pearls should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.” Keep them away from perfume, hairspray, and household chemicals. Wipe them gently with a soft microfiber cloth after each wear. Never submerge pearls in ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemical dips.
